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.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
