I am about to go gluten and dairy free since my test results from Enterolab confirmed these two sensativities. We currently have a nice toaster oven that both my wife and I use for bagels, waffles etc... Now when I do go gluten free will I have to buy a new toaster or will I be able to clean the one we have now and it would be ok?

Also what kind of care products contain gluten? Deodorant, toothpaste, soaps, shampoos? Are there specific brands that dont contain gluten?

Thanks!

Yes, buy a new toaster!

I agree with the need for a separate toaster--but did you say toaster oven? That you can clean out thoroughly, and if needed, line the inside pan with foil for your food.

Its ok to buy a new one (Just don't get the $300 one at Williams Sonoma -- haha)

WHEN I STARTED OUT...THOUGHT CC WAS JUST HYPE AND DIDN'T GIVE IT MUCH THOUGHT..KEPT 100% gluten-free BUT STILL DIDN'T FEEL THE WAY I SHOULD.

THEN HAD COMPANY FOR A WEEK WITH LOTS OF NON gluten-free TOAST IN THE TOASTER...EVEN THO ON THE OTHER SIDE. :lol: HA HA

WELL MY DH CAME HOME WITH A NEW BEAUTIFUL CHROME TOASTER--2 SIDED -BIG SLOTS FOR BEGALS...AND I'VE BEEN SOOOOO MUCH BETTER. HE USES THE OLD ONE ACROSS THE KITCHEN :ph34r:

GET YOURSELF A CHEAP TOASTER AND I BET YOU'LL AVOID ALOT OF PROBLEMS. I SURE HAVE.

Personally, if we would have a toaster oven (and if I could eat gluten-free bread, which I can't, since I can't tolerate any grain at all), I would just get a new, cheap toaster (okay, I did, it just sits there now <_< ). Because for me, I would find it a lot of hassle to constantly have to put foil in whenever I would use it, and would probably forget at times. Besides, in order for it to be really safe, you would really need to clean it out every time after somebody uses it for non-gluten-free food. What a pain.

Any shampoo, soap, toothpaste, lotion etc. that says 'wheat germ oil' or 'barley extract' (or whatever looks suspicious) needs to be replaced. If in doubt, give the company a shout! Ha ha. Seriously, you might have to use the 1-800 number at times to find out what the ingredients are, because not all companies actually list them on the product. Don't guess, that's not safe.

Yes, new toaster.

We have a "his" and "hers" toaster set,haha! Since I use my gluteny toaster less, mine in in kitchen closet in a plastic bag. I take it out when I need to toast gluten breads. I think I use it once every 3-4 months.

I sometimes eat gluten-free bread and toast that in celiac disease toaster and I like the gluten-free waffles in toaster too.

So the gluten-free toaster is now used the most.

we have a toaster oven... I toss the rack in the dishwasher and I ALWAYS put foil down before toasting anything for me or my daughter. My hubby uses it for his non gluten-free breads and buns and we don't have any problems. I am also VERY sensitive and react to the smallest amount of cross contamination, so I think a shared toaster oven is ok IF you clean it thoroughly and alway use foil. But if it's a regular stand up toaster, buy a new one, because those are impossible to keep clean.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
