Crock Pot Making Me Sick?

Hello,

Is it possible for gluten to linger on and in a crock pot? In the past I used it to cook gluten type foods but of course it gets cleaned after each use. I made beef stew last week and within an hour of eating it....glutened! Bloated belly, gas, pain, etc....I'm just starting to feel like normal after several days. I know nothing I put in the stew contained gluten. All it was was beef and veggies. Had something similar happen after using our deep fryer a few months ago as well. My Mom said maybe when the pores open up when things heat up it may allow the trapped gluten to escape?? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

My crock pot is ceramic, glazed, so I can't imagine that the pores would "open up." I know that is exactly what happens with cast iron, but as far as I know, not with glazed ceramic.

Maybe someone else knows something I don't, but I don't believe that it would be possible to be glutened from a crock pot. Hope you figure it out soon! :)

Edited to Add: If your crock pot has scratches in the ceramic, that may well be exactly what made you sick...gluten may have lodged itself in the cracks and then transferred to your food while the crock pot was on...maybe that would explain it?

Reynolds makes liners for your crock pot. You could try that next time.

That's a great idea! Is worchester sauce (L&P) gluten-free? It says it is but now I'm wondering???

The website says Lea & Perrins is gluten-free. I had to look under foodservice to find it though.

Some people have problems with certain oils, either they are CC or they just can't tolerate them. I have been seeing people talking about canola.

The deep fryer basket could possibly have gluten hiding somewhere. Maybe you could soak it really well and then run it in the dishwasher.

You could also be reacting to the veggies in the beef stew. Why not test that out? All you have to do is eat nothing but one of those veggies and see what happens. If nothing happens try another one the next day. Same with the spices if any that were used. If your reaction is that quick you should be able to pin it down pretty easy.

The first crock pot I ever had was ceramic, BUT it had a plastic lid. I ditched it after I was diagnosed for a new one with a glass lid. Ceramic and glass if they're cleaned thoroughly should not retain any gluten. But plastic would be a crap shoot I think.

I think H&P has soy, not sure. I'd question soy or nightshades before crockpot, in that order, but that's just me.

P.S. I made an awesome beef stew tonight gluten-free /Dairy Free/ Soy free from a Martha Stewart recipe. I haven't been around long enough to know if you're allowed to post links, but you can search it online. It's the one with flour (I subbed brown rice flour), balsalmic vinegar and tomatoe paste and potatoes, etc, (garlic, carrots, onions, chunked beef, water)..in a 5 qt. covered dish or crock pot. It was ab fab.

Good luck...

It says it is, but I think the important thing to remember when you're trying to track down what may have glutened you is that 'gluten free' is a range rather than absolute zero. If your gluten tolerance is lower than where this sauce's gluten free range is, than it could still be making you sick, you know?

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply and links, Wheatwacked. Definitely some food for thought.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies also indicate the amount of gliadin in human breast milk is miniscule and unlikely to cause reactions:  https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-peptides-in-human-breast-milk-implications-for-cows-milk/ I would also point out that Dr. Peter Osborne's doctorate is in chiropractic medicine, though he also has studied and, I believe, holds some sort of certifications in nutritional science. To put it plainly, he is considered by many qualified medical and nutritional professionals to be on the fringe of quackery. But he has a dedicated and rabid following, nonetheless.

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted, still intact and immunogenic, into the milk. The cow's digestive system is designed to break down proteins, not transfer them whole into milk. This is not a recognized pathway in veterinary science. The provided backup shifts from cow's milk to human breastmilk, which is a classic bait-and-switch. While the transfer of food proteins in human breastmilk is a valid area of study, it doesn't validate the initial claim about commercial dairy. The use of a Dr. Osborne video is a major red flag. His entire platform is based on the idea that all grains are toxic, a view that far exceeds the established science on Celiac Disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and a YouTube video from a known ideological source is not that evidence."

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background.  When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning.  When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.  That's when we found the only pediactric gastroenterologist (in a population of 6 million that dealt with Celiac Disease (and he only had 14 patients with celiac disease), who dianosed by biopsy and started him on Nutramegen.  Recovery was quick. The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion
