Washing Dishes In The Dishwasher

Assuming I have a gluten-free dishwasher safe soap and I think I do, I've been wondering if washing the dishes in the dishwasher takes away all glutens from the dishes that my family may have had gluten on. I do wash all dishes clean before they go into the washer, but I was just wondering if you guys out there feel confident that once they come out, they are safe from cross contamination.

Also, if it weren't safe, how do we eat in restaurants????

Thanks a bunch!

I don't know about your dishwasher, but mine often leaves little bits of food behind. The ones that I see I can take care of. What about the ones that are too small to see? Maybe that's why I kept having symptoms until our whole household went gluten free.

I don't eat in restaurants. I got tired of getting sick from it.

A good rinse before a run in the dishwasher should take care of the gluten.

Let's not give me something else to be paranoid about. :) I think as long as you pre-rinse you should be fine. If it is a particularity gluten-y or dirty load, maybe running an extra rinse cycle first would be wise?

As for restaurants, I don't know... some of those machines are very hot (kill germs) but don't run very long. IT should be fine unless there is encrusted food type stuff on the dishes. I believe I have been glutened from not so clean dishes.

i hear ya about being paranoid! i feel like a freak everytime i go ANYWHERE and start asking the standard questions. even to a family event!!! i've been very frustrated lately!!!!! when i think i'm accidentally glutened, a search far and wide for what could have gotten me, but i'm so careful. ugh............

I can understand your worry, but thoroughly rinsing everything before putting them into the dishwasher will be fine.

I'm in a temporary situation right now where I'm living with a family member with a tiny kitchen and no dishwasher. I am very sensitive to cross contamination, but have not had a problem. I do the same--rinse everything well before hand, washing in hot, soapy water, and rinsing well again.

I'm not sure if rinsing is enough. I've been glutened by one of my own mugs before when I failed to scrub it thoroughly enough, and I've been noticing that I get reactions from gluten-free foods when I eat them using utensils from dishwashers shared with glutinous items. Gluten has "glue" in the name

I share a kitchen with my MIL. While still continuing to share dishes and the dishwasher I continued to be frequently sick. After beginning to use my own dishes, this stopped. This may have been due to a problem with the dishwasher itself, how it was used or loaded, the condition of the dishes when they were put in or none of the above. There is also a problem with everyone in the house leaving the silverware drawer just a little bit open. Just a little. And doing things like throwing toast in the toaster then grabbing a plate. Who knows which which was making me sick, but I can say that I don't share kitchen space any more. I also wash all my own dishes by hand.

My Hubs is a gluten lover and we have no problems. I do however, scrub and rinse dishes before they go in the dishwasher and I wipe out the utensil drawers weekly. I also use many paper towels to quickly wipe out a plate, frying pan, etc. Before I use it. My Hubs uses lots of flour so wiping out before use is a must. Good luck. :D

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
