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

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
