I've been afraid to use my "pre-gluten-free" KitchenAid stand mixer for fear of cross contamination and even banished it to the basement. Now more than ever, I'm really, really needing it...is there any way it can be saved??? HELP PLEASE!!!

Oh, you poor thing! Go down to the basement and get your wonderful Kitchen Aid!! One of the beauties of Kitchen Aid is the METAL makeup! Just wash it off, everywhere you can wash it off at and it should be fine. I have one myself and its easy to get into all the tough places to get it clean. Bowls, blades, hooks, and attachments easily soak, wipe off or are cleaned up so that you should be fine. Its things that can absorb or hold crumbs that are problems, and your kitchen aid cleans up great! Don't short yourself the help that your trustworthy Kitchen Aid gives you, but letting it stay in your basement. Wipe and wash away with joy in your heart and a smile on your face. Let the fear vanish and move on with your gluten free baking!

So sorry,....that was supposed to be "Don't short yourself the help that your trustworthy Kitchen Aid gives you, *by* letting it stay in your basement."

Your KitchenAid should be fine, now a "toaster" would be another thing, in my opinion...... :)

Hi :)

I had the exact same question last year at this time! I got some good advice from some nice people here, which I will now pass along to you.

There is no need to stop using your machine. Haul it back upstairs and clean it off well with warm, soapy water. Run the bowl and beaters through the dishwasher, if you have one. If you're still uneasy, run it for a couple of minutes empty--that should knock loose any flour lurking up there.

I've been happily using mine for gluten-free breads ever since--never a problem :D

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Thank you both so much for the advice and reassurance. The mixer will definitely help get me through this first gluten-free Thanksgiving...especially since I'm doing ALL the cooking! You've seriously saved my life...or at least my sanity :wacko: Whew...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
