Waffle Maker

Good Morning! So I got a European waffle maker, it has 5 hearts connected to each other a couple months before I found out I had Celiac. I only used it a few times with gluten filled waffle batter. Since then, I have only used gluten free waffle batter for my children. I was wondering, could it be safe for me to eat from that waffle maker? If not now, maybe eventually? Does Gluten just permanently stay there even after wiping down and not using gluten batter anymore? I ask because I have always wanted a waffle maker like this and I hope I can use it for myself some day. Just wondering if anyone knows info related to this. Thanks for reading.

Should be safe I would think, especially if cleaned well. Can you scrub the surface? Is it submersible? If not can you scrub and clean the surface without submerging it?

Thanks. It is not submersible, but I can wipe it off. I only used it a few times with gluten and now only gluten free for 4 months now. I am still figuring this new lifestyle out.

I would use some kind of brush and soapy water to get down into the valleys just to make sure.

@Ahawk,

Welcome to the forum! 

I agree with @trents. 

Clean the waffle maker as best you can and enjoy your waffles and waffle maker!

Clean well as others have said, use a toothbrush or brush of some kind to clean out all corners, edges, valleys, etc.  After all that cleaning, I would also make a batch of gluten free waffle mix and make a bunch of waffles and throw them out, don't eat those.  Perhaps that will help pick up any remaining stuck on or hard to get stuff.  I did this with one pan I didn't want to toss and I didn't have any issues that I know of.

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.
