Is It Safe To Share An Oven (While It Is In Use) With Gluten Eating Family?

Hi everyone,

I'm a little nervous that tonight, I'm sharing the oven. My sweet potato is in the oven, uncovered, with glutenous garlic bread and teriyaki chicken. The bread is on the lower rack and my potato is in a pan above it, which is next to a pan of chicken (I'm allergic to gluten, soy, poultry, etc. etc.).

Everyone is being careful of crumbs and drippings whatnot, but all of the steam...does the steam and air/heat carry allergens?

Or...am I being paranoid?

Do you folks who live in a gluten eating household share the oven while it's in use? Does the steam or particles in the air in the oven make you sick?

Thank you...

I don't know about the steam thing, but if it was my sweet potato I would wrap it in foil to be on the safe side.

I would cover my food if something else is in there that I can't eat. Or cover the other stuff. I have had some oven tragedies where I have pulled stuff out and it's slid off the pan or jumped off the pan into the oven. Evil oven! Not clumsy oven user. ;)

For me it wouldn't be a problem. I'm sensitive but not THAT sensitive.

I would wrap it in foil or "bake" it in the microwave instead just to be safe.

Not a problem. There is skin on a sweet potato or any other for that fact. Your worry seems excessive.

Personally, I wouldn't share the oven. I am very careful as I have had trouble getting my antibodies back to normal, and it seems like a fairly high chance of cc.

I wipe out the oven before I use it, and there is always some grime that can be wiped off easily. It's not from spills, but from small amounts of the food that gets airbourne.

Saying that, If you covered your food fully, I think it would be fine.

Steam causes cross contamination, and where it can get out, it can come in... so I'd say no. Not without wiping it down very well before hand or do what I do and do mine First and theirs second. Always after wipe down all appliances and cooking surfaces before using them again. It also helps to have a Gluten Free Area of your own that you shouldn't have to be so aorried about in your own kitchen :D

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Because of my brother’s supplement regime and my and my husband’s known gene mutations, all of the kids (26,28,30 - I should not call then kids) take PureTherapro RX Methyl Multi without iron, the MagTech magnesium supplement with 3 forms of magnesium, and D3.  I am still trying to find a Fish Oil supplement for them that comes in smaller size capsules.  I take the Metagenics lemon flavored Fish Oil Epa Dha 1000mg gels and the kids call them horse pills.  They want something 1/2 that size bur don’t have a fishy taste.

      Thank you for the response. I didn't think of  the things you presented but they make a ton of good sense. I'm in the USA so no stipend for a formal dx. With the added cost of gluten free food, I wish there was some program to help. I bought a loaf of gluten free bread that cost $7.99 and my usual multi grain is $2.57!  I REALLY felt the doctors taking you more seriously comment. That is a huge issue. I just had fairly extensive blood work done, none of which was testing for celiac, and everything came back normal. I felt completely dismissed by my doctor even though my symptoms remained unchanged. As a matter of fact, Celiac disease wasn't even on my regular doctors radar. I think after studying the symptoms and comparing them with my symptoms that should have been one of his top differential diagnoses. I will follow your advice and wait until after the bx to begin eating gluten free. I'm fairly certain of the diagnosis at this point because 4 days of no gluten has made a difference. I feel somewhat stronger, nowhere near as anxious or irritable, urinating every 2 hours instead of every 30 minutes to an hour and much less nausea.  If anybody has any other words of wisdom, advice, really anything, please let me know..I'm kind of alone in this.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread... QUINOA

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.
