Old Cake Tins?

I've only been diagnosed for a few months and still finding my feet, mostly by trial and quite a bit of error :huh:

Last week my wife made a cake using an Orgran mix (I feel confident with Australian regulations), and I'm back to the bad old days again.

The cake tin was obviously cleaned after being used with gluten (prior to diagnosis) and lined with grease proofed paper, do you think it's possible this is the source of my problems?

To be honest I feel I'm clutching at straws with this, am I being overly paranoid or is this is a legitimate concern? How can a gluten particle be absorbed into the cake etc.

I was 'glutened' a fortnight ago with some chocolate, but from past experience that mistake should have worn off by now.

unfortunately the old pans COULD be your source of CC

i used this as an (expensive - i admit it) excuse to buy new pans

(the ones that were still in good condition i donated to my local good will and got a tax receipt for - some other cooking supplies i traded w/ a friend who is very supportive for - as she needs new she goes through my "glutened" supplies and then buys me new in glass)

also... how old is the grease proofed paper? by touch could it have been contaminated previously?

on the flip side, could there be other ingredients such as soy or dairy that you are now more sensitive to that were used or are part of the mix? many individuals who go gluten-free find they are also sensitive to others too.

good luck & know you have support here!

I've never had an issue with any of the Orgran mixes. Did you add milk and eggs or did you do their vegan option? You might have another food intolerance.

If your cake tin is old and scratched it could be an issue. Also, have you replaced all your wooden spoons, sieve, and cleaned your mixer really, really, really well?

Check the mixer. Little bits of flour get in all the cracks. I found that cheap white vinegar dissolves it pretty well. If you can't get in the cracks just keep flushing with the vinegar and water. If it's really old, might have to break down and get a new one.

      Am I celiac or not?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).

      Thanks for the response! I was on and off gluten-free diet for several years, however I was eating lots of gluten (every single meal) for several months  directly before the endoscopy

      I'm unable to determine your situation--did you go gluten-free for a while before your endoscopy for celiac disease? If so, the results would not be accurate because you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for at least two weeks leading up to the procedure. Also, your strong TTG Antibodies IgA results do indicate celiac disease. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      I get so confused constantly by what constitutes an official celiac diagnosis. I’ve been told blood work alone is enough to diagnose, because biopsies are inconsistent, and it can take years for the damage to be severe enough to show in that way. I’ve also been told an endoscopy is the only way to officially say. My sister was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2018. I had T1D antibodies checked (I was negative) and a celiac panel done. Both she and I presented with the same two positive celiac tests - mine were as follows: deanimated gliadin antibody IgG - 28.2 (ref range <0.4-14.9 U/ml) TTG Antibodies IgA - 65.9 (ref range <0.5-14.9 U/ml)  The endocrinologist who ran these stated a biopsy was not necessary and to immediately go gluten-free (he even went so far as to tell me I needed to quit my job working in a biscuit restaurant). I did end up leaving that job for unrelated reasons and went gluten-free. A few months later I went vegan for ethical reasons (no longer the case but at the time it seemed right) and of course lost weight, cleared up my skin, and was the best I ever felt.  A marriage, two pregnancies, and a pandemic later, I had a ton of weight gain and lots of bad symptoms like joint pain, cold sores, exhaustion, brain fog, etc. Went ahead with a endoscopy in 2022 to finally see for sure, and was told I had no intestinal damage and therefore no celiac. I ended up being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2023 based on a positive anti-CCP test and having the HLA-B27 gene w family history as well (negative RF).    All of this to say, I struggle with disordered eating, so between that and the chronic autoimmune stuff it’s been emotionally distressing to not know how careful I need to be about gluten, how much it should interfere with my diet, and whether or not it is actually present. Any advice or others experiences would be very helpful! Thanks!
