Pasta Machine

I have a question for everyone.....I bought the KitchenAide pasta attachments (roller type) about 6 months before finding out that I was gluten intolerant. I used them twice. If anyone has ever bought them, they are REALLY expensive. Does anybody have any suggestions for cleaning them to make them safe? They cannot by submerged in water. I was thinking of getting some canned air to really blast out the loose flour still in them and then making some really sticky gluten-free dough and running a bunch through to maybe catch what is left. I know this is risky, but I really don't have the budget to replace them and would like to start making my own noodles. Any ideas, suggestions?

I'm really sorry, but I don't think you can clean that enough. I wouldn't be willing to try it. Even if at first you're ok it seems like you get more sensitive down the road, and respond worse to minute amounts of gluten. I'd sell it and buy a new one, or try hand rolled pasta. Maybe that's just me, but ewwwwwwww.

I probably wouldn't use it if it's got places for the dough to hide. You could run a few batches of gluten-free noodles thru & see if it clears the old gluten out.

Can you put vinegar down in the cracks, use pins to get the softened flour out? I'm not familiar with this attachment so I don't know how it looks.

I have the KA attachments and still use them because I fortunately had no problems with any previous dough sticking anywhere at all. I still cleaned them thoroughly with a toothpick and Q-tips. To be sure, I ran through one gluten free batch that I threw out.

Thanks!!! That is good to know. There shouldn't be anything stuck in it as I only used it twice and was very careful with cleaning it. One of the attachments were never even used, which is good. I wrote to Kitchenaid and they apparently thought gluten was some kind of bacteria......in other words, they had no clue. Well, I will try it. Thanks!!

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
