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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
