Just a quick question:

I have a lousy dishwasher and there are always spots all over my glasses and dishes.

Should Cascade be a concern.

Thanks, Lisa

I also use a product in my dishwasher called Glass Magic, you sprinkle it in the d/w bottom and wash as normal. Works great!

I use Cascade, no problems, my dishwasher is also lousy. Sadly, it is the only name brand appliance in our kitchen. It is GE, it sounds as if it will fall through the floor any minute. The rest of our appliances are Caloric and they are going strong, even though they look old. :)

Years ago I bought Cascade and it ruined all my glasses -- they were all spotted and had a cloudy film. I never could get rid of it and ended up buying new glasses.

I have also stopped using Cascade--because of the spotting.

I now use (and really like) the Electrosol tablets with the "power ball" on it. The dishes come out nice, and no more spots :)

I am not so concerned about the spot although a pain. The residue and CC is a concern on the spotty items. Hubby is not gluten free. Can gluteny cuddies rest in the spotty glasses? I don't know what the heat content of the machine. Or, is this a concern taken over the limits. :blink:

So, that's what happened to my glasses. I bought Cascade only once, years ago, and I just made the connection now. I couldn't figure it out. My glasses were clear and then they were cloudy.

Thanks for figuring out my mystery.

I have been using Cascade as well and my dishes have not been turning out well. I thought it was Florida water. I'm going to try another brand and see what happens.

Our dishwasher is not good and my husband eats gluten. When he puts stuff in the dishwasher he never rinses it off and shoves stuff everywhere. I don't get sick at home and I'm very sensitive, so I would say that even if it doesn't do the best job, it is good enough to get the gluten off.

Are you getting sick at home?

I had this very question because of this very detergent!

These posts are old, and so the information should be re-checked, but...

I've since changed to Cascade dual action tablets and am much more satisfied with the appearance, and since I have no more spots I was able to stop wondering what's in those spots!

Lisa,

I understand your concern--the same thought crossed my mind back when it was happening to me.

It does stand to reason that if the water isn't completely sheeting off the dishes/glasses, then possibly it is leaving something other than water spotting behind. I honestly don't know.

I tend to err on the side of caution, so I simply switched brands. I was not noticing that I was getting "mystery glutenings", so I did finish up what I had before switching. If you're not feeling well and can't figure out why, then I'd say switch brands and see if it makes any difference. :)

I tried using Lime Away on my glasses and silverware that were cloudy and it really worked. We soaked the silverware in it and then put it in the dishwasher and it is sparkling like new. We also did all the glasses and they look perfect.

Just an idea for anyone else with streaky dishes.

The water spots and film are salt deposits (not NaCl salt exclusively, of course, but the salts found in your water supply, all the more so if you have a water softener). A descaler - even just vinegar - can help get that off.

Oddly, I've never had any luck with the theory that you don't need to pre-rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, so I don't know if the reason I don't have huge problems with this is because dishes go in clean-ish, but I've had it happen too, without Cascade.

seventh generation makes a nice biodegradable detergent that is save for the environment. I find it works great.

Dear jerseyangel and Carla,

Our dishes are having the same problem! I wondered what was causing that. It is disgusting! I am going to see if we can switch to Electrosol. That powerball is safe! Good, I will get some this week and see if it makes a difference!

Sincerely,

Since changing to electrosol with the power ball, I have not had any problems with spotting on my dishes and my dishes are clean when they come out of the dishwasher.

I love electrosol.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
