Is It Safe To Share An Oven (While It Is In Use) With Gluten Eating Family?

Hi everyone,

I'm a little nervous that tonight, I'm sharing the oven. My sweet potato is in the oven, uncovered, with glutenous garlic bread and teriyaki chicken. The bread is on the lower rack and my potato is in a pan above it, which is next to a pan of chicken (I'm allergic to gluten, soy, poultry, etc. etc.).

Everyone is being careful of crumbs and drippings whatnot, but all of the steam...does the steam and air/heat carry allergens?

Or...am I being paranoid?

Do you folks who live in a gluten eating household share the oven while it's in use? Does the steam or particles in the air in the oven make you sick?

Thank you...

I don't know about the steam thing, but if it was my sweet potato I would wrap it in foil to be on the safe side.

I would cover my food if something else is in there that I can't eat. Or cover the other stuff. I have had some oven tragedies where I have pulled stuff out and it's slid off the pan or jumped off the pan into the oven. Evil oven! Not clumsy oven user. ;)

For me it wouldn't be a problem. I'm sensitive but not THAT sensitive.

I would wrap it in foil or "bake" it in the microwave instead just to be safe.

Not a problem. There is skin on a sweet potato or any other for that fact. Your worry seems excessive.

Personally, I wouldn't share the oven. I am very careful as I have had trouble getting my antibodies back to normal, and it seems like a fairly high chance of cc.

I wipe out the oven before I use it, and there is always some grime that can be wiped off easily. It's not from spills, but from small amounts of the food that gets airbourne.

Saying that, If you covered your food fully, I think it would be fine.

Steam causes cross contamination, and where it can get out, it can come in... so I'd say no. Not without wiping it down very well before hand or do what I do and do mine First and theirs second. Always after wipe down all appliances and cooking surfaces before using them again. It also helps to have a Gluten Free Area of your own that you shouldn't have to be so aorried about in your own kitchen :D

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
