Cross Contamination Dilema

I have a little dilemma...prior to going gluten-free ...I was baking bread for the entire family.

I have had a wonderful time baking my gluten-free Bread myself and having great success!

My dilemma is this...

How can I avoid cross contamination, other than cleaning and using

separate utensils?

AND

I presume it would be NOT a good idea if using a bread machine to use the same one...

I prepared my loaves of bread by hand prior to going gluten-free....

Any ideas? Tips? Suggestions?

Thanxs

I wish I could learn how to bake bread!!! I'm sure it's MUCH better than the loaves of gluten free bread I buy at the store! Anyway, I have a couple suggestions:

1) Make sure you have two completely different prep areas for your bread making. One should be strictly your gluten free area and should never ever be used for making the other type of bread. That will always be the place you make your gluten free bread.

2) Get another bread maker. I know that with most of those bread makers you can wash the pan part, but I would still worry about glutteny flour being left in the machine and thus CC issues. You could simply get two different color bread makers. The red one is always for your gluten free bread -- any one else looking at it knows that red means "STOP" and do not put any gluten ingredients in here. The other one could be white or whatever color you already have.

3) Buy two sets of utensils -- one for your gluten bread and one for your gluten free bread. I know I have read of several people on here that will buy a certain brand of utensil just for their gluten free cooking. The rest of family knows that the pampered chef utensils (or whatever brand you choose) are ONLY for gluten free cooking. They are not ever to be used with gluten containing products. That way you lessen your chances of CC even more.

Hope that helps some!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
