Bread Machine - Cc Issues?

My husband and I have a pretty nice bread machine that we used before I went gluten-free. If I bought a separate pan for gluten-free and made sure to have him clean the inside of the machine out with rubbing alcohol after he uses it, do you think it would be safe?

That sounds risky. Unless you're really, really short of storage space I think you should each have your own, and if storage is an issue, I still don't think you should use his.

They really aren't expensive, and it will pay for itself with the savings on your bread.

I was worried about using my bread machine that'd I'd used before to make spelt bread (before gluten-free) but I have not had cross-contamination issues with it since then. I would think going back and forth could work, if you are careful - especially if you have your own pan. But they aren't that expensive - might be worth getting your own.

Good luck!

I received a new one as a x-mas gift. I would not have used are old one, it was covered in flour dust. However, if you feel like it is clean then it is up to you! Happy bread making :)

Just an idea but how about using food coloring?

If it soaks into anything and you can see it its not 100% clean...

We have not had cc issues with ours, but I make sure ( as I am the one to do the dishes) that it is immaculate when it is done. Also, since the dx, we ONLY use it to make gluten-free bread. The kids are the only ones who eat "normal" bread and we just buy it from the store for them.

I think switching an old bread machine to only gluten free would work, but going back and forth gluten free and not gluten free would continue to be risky. I wouldn't do it. I mean, every once in a while you would be bound to overlook a speck of flour on it and get sick...I just would not feel comfortable doing that.

I actually use my dad's old bread maker for my gluten-free bread. I cleaned the hell out of the thing initially. It would be riskier if you were switching from one to the other alot though. You *should* be able to make it work I'd think--if you clean each nook and cranny everytime. You could also stick the bread pan in the dishwasher. Don't forget the outside of the bread maker too etc... Watch out for airborne flour settling.

Thanks everyone! I guess we'll have to get a new one so my husband can continue to make his beloved bread. Tough, but that's life.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

      Coping with celiac

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
