New Toaster?

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.

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.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
