Old Bread Maker

I have a bread machine that I used like twice before I found out about the whole gluten thing. Now I've been interested in making my own bread in a bread machine. Is my old one totally CCed? Is it not usable for me anymore? I know it would probably be better to get a new one but I don't have the money for all of these new gadgets and things. Any info would help a ton!

Also, I noticed after finishing a box of Envirokids Banana Waffles that they are NOT gluten free. Now that explains why I always felt sick after eating them. But I toasted them in my gluten-free toaster. I just got that new toaster to be specifically gluten-free and now I don't know if it is still safe to use because of how small the amount of gluten I cooked in it really was. I can't afford to go out and buy myself my third toaster in the past year. What do you think?

Thanks!

sorry I don't have the answers... I probably wouldn't trust the breadmachine just because I know mine is hard to get totally clean afterward... not sure about the toaster as waffles aren't crumbly like bread... but the gluten could still stick to it... maybe someone with more experience could help more

When I started out gluten free, I took my old bread machine and had my husband blow it out with his air compressor, then I cleaned all the insides very well. I probably would have just tried to really clean the pan, but it was scratched, so that caused me to definitely buy a new pan. Also, the posts and paddles can be particularly difficut to clean.

I then ordered a new pan and paddles from the manufacturer. I am very sensitive to gluten, but never had a problem with my bread from my bread machine. Some companies will charge you so much for the pan that you might as well buy a new bread machine. Check with your manufacturer.

For me, the toaster would be a tougher call. If it is a traditional toaster, I probably would not use it. If it is a toaster oven (which is what I bought), I would just clean it really well. That is why I bought the toaster oven. I figured I could clean it if someone accidentally contaminated it. The only thing that actually touches my food is the rack that can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher. Also it is easy to wipe out the insides and get rid of any crumbs.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
