Toaster Ovens

All~

I am in need of some advise/answers if you know. My husbands ex wife claims that their daughter (who is recently diagnosed w/Celiac) Can not use our toaster oven as it has traces of wheat & that she has to have her own appliances. Is this true? Should we get her her own toaster oven/toaster or any other appliance? She claims her food can not come into contact w/any traces of wheat/gluten. What if I clean the toaster oven regulary? Would that help or just buy her her own?

Please help.

Thanks. :)

I would put all her food on foil in the toaster oven.. there shouldnt be anything wrong with that as long as her food doesnt come into contact. and of course wash your hands and the counters and everything else really well

now the toaster... she will need her own one of those. you can't get those completely clean and there are ALOT of crumbs.

but i have cooked gluten free and regular food in an oven at the same time and never had a problem. if she is extremely sensitive i wouldnt recommend that though!

I got glutenned heating food in and unclean microwave, and the food was covered. I wouldn't let her use it. Absolutely new toaster.

Thank you for the information. Do you know if any chemicals have gluten in them? I would assume not but well I have no idea about chemicals. I use Fantastic antibacterial however I can always buy something organic like Moo Cleaner which I use sometimes as well.

Thank you for that information . It was helpful. She is sensitive even to cough drops that do not specify gluten/wheat in general. Thanks again.

I am not sure about the "cleaners" but be sure to watch hand sanitizers they have alcohol in them and that is bad. I know Purell is gluten-free and as far as hand soap goes soft soap and Dial are gluten-free but of course you always want to check the ingredients and with the manufacturers as the recipes and solutions can change without notice. You for sure need to get a new toaster for just her and I too always make sure I wipe out my microwave before I use it myself. You should also keep a set of pans that you only make her food in as pans tend to absorb what is cooked in them over time.

Thank you for the helpful information. See we have 6 people in our house. 4 kids & 2 adults. We don't have enough space in our house for her to have seperate pans etc. We were hoping that with my OCD & cleanliness that that would help out a little. Thank you for the valuable information :)

I wanted to say Kudos to you for actually taking the time to investigate this, and not taking the easy "oh she's just the ex-wife" approach. Not everyone would have their forst response to be respectful of the ex.

I agree--very refreshing! :D

Welcome Chrissy,

I would get her a new toaster to use for her gluten-free breads--they can be bought very inexpensively at WalMart or the like for about $10. As for cleaning the inside of the toaster oven or microwave, I use a cloth and hot, soapy water. I use Clorox Greenworks dish soap, but there are may other gluten-free brands like Dawn or Ivory.

Washing out the oven and being careful to place her food on a plate or foil should be just fine :)

Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.

It would be far easier just to have a separate oven for her. But I'm curious what you put in it? We don't have one and have no need for it. I have a separate toaster for my daughter. Just a cheap one. Works just fine.

I had a toaster oven many years ago. I guess I thought I needed one because my parents had one. They do use theirs a lot for some kind of meat that I don't make. London Broil I think.

You can get bags for use in the toaster. Not sure if they will work in a toaster oven or not.

I have had two countertop convection ovens and I use them a lot. I cook chicken breasts often and it not only is faster, uses less energy, doesn't heat up the kitchen, but it bakes/broils a beautifull piece of chicken.

I've never used a pop-up toaster. To me, real toast was putting the butter on the bread first, and then toasting. Of course, just like there are two kinds of families for real mayonaise vs. salad dressing (miracle whip), there are two kinds of toaster families. We never had a pop-up toaster when I was growing up. :D

best regards, lm

      Scott Adams makes an excellent point about the possible pending scope with biopsy being the reason you were advised to keep eating gluten, @NCalvo822! You might want to get some clarification about that. What you don't want to happen is to go gluten free and then have to go back on gluten at some point in order to produce valid scoping/biopsy results.

      It's possible that your doctor wants you to do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, and if that is the case that could be why they don't want you to go gluten-free before that procedure is done. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends...

      Hi! Your history is interesting as I see parallels with my history. I too had migraines since childhood, but they run in my family so I didn’t think there could be any connection to the celiac. Also, the migraines have tapered off after menopause. I too have trouble walking in a straight line. And yet another similarity is I have been seeing both a dermatologist a...

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.

      Hi! Your history is interesting as I see parallels with my history. I too had migraines since childhood, but they run in my family so I didn’t think there could be any connection to the celiac. Also, the migraines have tapered off after menopause. I too have trouble walking in a straight line. And yet another similarity is I have been seeing both a dermatologist and an allergist for many years. The allergist has run many tests for my skin issues, but concluded I am not allergic to anything. I do occasionally get hives and am on daily medication to control the hives and other rashes or similar issues. At my last appt with allergist recently, I informed them of my new diagnosis of celiac disease. They said that it has nothing to do with my skin issues. They didn’t even put it in my chart. I know because I read the notes from the visit on the patient portal. However, your post has me second guessing my skin issues and possible connection to celiac disease.
