As of today my seriously expensive nutrimill grain mill is in my lower cabinet doing nothing. Before I was dx I used it for wheat berries, lots and lots of wheat. Do you think there is a way to clean it well enough to use again? I could give it to my husband who could use an air pressure hose at work to clear it out, then I could wash it but what about the parts I can't see. I'm scared of getting glutened? Any ideas?

I'm afraid I don't know what your mill looks like. Are you able to take it apart enough to put it in a dish washer? OR flush it with lots of water?

I'd be concerned about getting every speck of gluten out of it. Don't know if an air pressure hose would be able to do that plus washing the parts that you could get at...after which even thought of running a few pounds of cheap white rice through it (not to be used by you, of course).

Hopefully someone will pop in here to let you know if they were able to successfully clean a grain mill.

I have a friend who just asked me this same question. The machine is expensive and she doesn't want to part with it. However, we determined that you can't really know if it is clean or not on the inside. She thought of grinding a bunch of rice...but how much? And how would you ever know? She would have to plan to take a week off to be sick the first time she tried baking bread from things ground in her machine. I think her machine is still sitting there too. We will see if anyone has been brave enough to try it. :ph34r::blink:

If you cannot take it all the way apart....

Sell it, and buy another one with the proceeds. Or freecycle it to someone who needs it.

Read the reviews on this model... even normal people complained it was difficult to clean.

That was going to be my reply, sell it and buy another. I grind brown rice with a Melitta burr grinder, cost me $16 at the local Vons. I know this is not what you want to hear.....

Ha ha, no...not really but it's the best advice. I can't be sure no matter how much I clean it :( My husband is an engineer and he wants to take it to work and see if he can really take it apart & clean it. IF he does that, then I most likely won't be able to sell it. I am going to try to bless someone else and sell it at low cost to them.

Thank you for the opinions

ROFLMAO

This is up there with we recently got a mini portable grill, floor model on clearance, and I'll be ****ed if my husband managed to somehow get me with the first marshmellows he tried toasting on it to test it. Where does he set this up ? On the freaking floor of the garage/shop building, he just sets the grill pieces down right on the floor. I see this and say, "you are planning to wash this, aren't you ?"

Oh, I was pissed. They have NO concept of germ theory nor cross contamination, no matter what their education level nor being told repeatedly what not to do. None whatsoever.

I had eaten marshmellows out of the same package w/out problems, same chocolate, used gluten-free graham crackers, got sick anyway on this round, and it wasn't a gluten reaction.

Now I am ROFLOL and happy to know I'm not the only one who lives with Dennis the Menace.

To the OP, I'm sorry about your nut grinder. Will you buy another one? I can see where it would be useful...

NAh, I would love a new grinder but I have a long list of things to get. At this point I would rather buy a vitamix :) gluten-free cooking gadgets, that's a good new thread! Things that help make the best gluten-free foods.

I really needed to hear husbands all over are like mine! It makes me feel less crazy! Isn't that how you feel when you're trying to get the words "again, you're not hearing me!" out? Crazy? Why can't he hear me, he is looking right at me, LMOL :lol:

Love your amarylis pic, very pretty! And I've been called "bubble girl" by my dear companion. You aren't crazy, hang in there and btw I'd love to see your new thread.

(I bought a Ninja & love it, but it doesn't do veggies like I thought it would.) Thanks for your advice about the adjunct nut grinder.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
