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!

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.

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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
