Waffle Maker

Good Morning! So I got a European waffle maker, it has 5 hearts connected to each other a couple months before I found out I had Celiac. I only used it a few times with gluten filled waffle batter. Since then, I have only used gluten free waffle batter for my children. I was wondering, could it be safe for me to eat from that waffle maker? If not now, maybe eventually? Does Gluten just permanently stay there even after wiping down and not using gluten batter anymore? I ask because I have always wanted a waffle maker like this and I hope I can use it for myself some day. Just wondering if anyone knows info related to this. Thanks for reading.

Should be safe I would think, especially if cleaned well. Can you scrub the surface? Is it submersible? If not can you scrub and clean the surface without submerging it?

Thanks. It is not submersible, but I can wipe it off. I only used it a few times with gluten and now only gluten free for 4 months now. I am still figuring this new lifestyle out.

I would use some kind of brush and soapy water to get down into the valleys just to make sure.

@Ahawk,

Welcome to the forum! 

I agree with @trents. 

Clean the waffle maker as best you can and enjoy your waffles and waffle maker!

Clean well as others have said, use a toothbrush or brush of some kind to clean out all corners, edges, valleys, etc.  After all that cleaning, I would also make a batch of gluten free waffle mix and make a bunch of waffles and throw them out, don't eat those.  Perhaps that will help pick up any remaining stuck on or hard to get stuff.  I did this with one pan I didn't want to toss and I didn't have any issues that I know of.

      I certainly agree with all that. However, you also mentioned cornflakes with barley malt but that would obviously not be gluten free since barley is a gluten-containing grain. And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this...

      Re food, I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using. Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley...

      There could be other reasons you are reacting to the inhalers. There is no concrete evidence to believe they contain gluten. Anecdotal experiences can be misleading do not establish fact.

      Are you saying you believe there is gluten in the inhaler products? I mean you talk a lot about reacting to foods that are supposed to be gluten free but this thread is about inhalers.

There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all your food isn't what you're having a reaction to.  ...& I used Cornflakes as an example because some gluten free people would assume it's gluten free but if they're allergic to barley they will have a reaction...nothing to do with their inhaler.  You're missing my points a lot & frustrating so I'm done commenting. You really need to ensure your food isn't what's causing the issue. I am checking with symbicort manufacturer to check their ingredients.  Good bye... I'm done with this.

And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this online community is focused on. Is the point of this thread that having a gluten disorder makes someone more susceptible to reacting adversely to inhalers? That could be but it may have nothing to do with the inhaler having gluten. It could have to do with, say, having higher systemic yeast counts because the celiac community generally suffers from gut dysbiosis. So it would be easier for celiacs using inhalers to develop thrush.

      Re food,  I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using.  Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley & oats cause vocal and throat issues with me as well as gluten free flours. We didn't have gluten issues in the world yrs ago...the food changed somehow or they're using sprays that cause reactions in some people.  Re inhaler: Symbicort is registered as gluten free but companies can change their ingredients at any time so you may want to check with the company who makes it and get an ingredient list.  I don't believe I'm reacting to the inhaler...I believe it's a gluten free pasta I've been eating so I'm taking it out of my diet. I've used the inhaler for over 1 year and no problems up until now so I suspect it's the pasta.
