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.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
