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!

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

      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!
