Bread Machine - Cc Issues?

My husband and I have a pretty nice bread machine that we used before I went gluten-free. If I bought a separate pan for gluten-free and made sure to have him clean the inside of the machine out with rubbing alcohol after he uses it, do you think it would be safe?

That sounds risky. Unless you're really, really short of storage space I think you should each have your own, and if storage is an issue, I still don't think you should use his.

They really aren't expensive, and it will pay for itself with the savings on your bread.

I was worried about using my bread machine that'd I'd used before to make spelt bread (before gluten-free) but I have not had cross-contamination issues with it since then. I would think going back and forth could work, if you are careful - especially if you have your own pan. But they aren't that expensive - might be worth getting your own.

Good luck!

I received a new one as a x-mas gift. I would not have used are old one, it was covered in flour dust. However, if you feel like it is clean then it is up to you! Happy bread making :)

Just an idea but how about using food coloring?

If it soaks into anything and you can see it its not 100% clean...

We have not had cc issues with ours, but I make sure ( as I am the one to do the dishes) that it is immaculate when it is done. Also, since the dx, we ONLY use it to make gluten-free bread. The kids are the only ones who eat "normal" bread and we just buy it from the store for them.

I think switching an old bread machine to only gluten free would work, but going back and forth gluten free and not gluten free would continue to be risky. I wouldn't do it. I mean, every once in a while you would be bound to overlook a speck of flour on it and get sick...I just would not feel comfortable doing that.

I actually use my dad's old bread maker for my gluten-free bread. I cleaned the hell out of the thing initially. It would be riskier if you were switching from one to the other alot though. You *should* be able to make it work I'd think--if you clean each nook and cranny everytime. You could also stick the bread pan in the dishwasher. Don't forget the outside of the bread maker too etc... Watch out for airborne flour settling.

Thanks everyone! I guess we'll have to get a new one so my husband can continue to make his beloved bread. Tough, but that's life.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
