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.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating...

      For the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, they said 7 days of gluten. So I did 8...fast food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For the earlier blood test, the younger doctor said I didn't have to. My immune system went down, I was in the bathroom a lot, and as my wife said my brain wasn't braining.

      How long was your gluten challenge? I hope it was longer than a week. If not, your testing was likely invalid. Recently upgraded guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to either the blood antibody test draw or the endoscopy/biopsy. And...

But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.

      How long was your gluten challenge? I hope it was longer than a week. If not, your testing was likely invalid. Recently upgraded guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to either the blood antibody test draw or the endoscopy/biopsy. And if you had been gluten free for all those years, you likely had lost any tolerance to gluten you may have had when consuming it regularly. That's probably why it was such a tough sledding experience. Before I was diagnosed, I had very minor GI symptoms. Now, after many years of being gluten free, I get violently ill for hours if I get a good slug of gluten, like when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with the gluten free ones she made me.
