Crock Pot Making Me Sick?

Hello,

Is it possible for gluten to linger on and in a crock pot? In the past I used it to cook gluten type foods but of course it gets cleaned after each use. I made beef stew last week and within an hour of eating it....glutened! Bloated belly, gas, pain, etc....I'm just starting to feel like normal after several days. I know nothing I put in the stew contained gluten. All it was was beef and veggies. Had something similar happen after using our deep fryer a few months ago as well. My Mom said maybe when the pores open up when things heat up it may allow the trapped gluten to escape?? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

My crock pot is ceramic, glazed, so I can't imagine that the pores would "open up." I know that is exactly what happens with cast iron, but as far as I know, not with glazed ceramic.

Maybe someone else knows something I don't, but I don't believe that it would be possible to be glutened from a crock pot. Hope you figure it out soon! :)

Edited to Add: If your crock pot has scratches in the ceramic, that may well be exactly what made you sick...gluten may have lodged itself in the cracks and then transferred to your food while the crock pot was on...maybe that would explain it?

Reynolds makes liners for your crock pot. You could try that next time.

That's a great idea! Is worchester sauce (L&P) gluten-free? It says it is but now I'm wondering???

The website says Lea & Perrins is gluten-free. I had to look under foodservice to find it though.

Some people have problems with certain oils, either they are CC or they just can't tolerate them. I have been seeing people talking about canola.

The deep fryer basket could possibly have gluten hiding somewhere. Maybe you could soak it really well and then run it in the dishwasher.

You could also be reacting to the veggies in the beef stew. Why not test that out? All you have to do is eat nothing but one of those veggies and see what happens. If nothing happens try another one the next day. Same with the spices if any that were used. If your reaction is that quick you should be able to pin it down pretty easy.

The first crock pot I ever had was ceramic, BUT it had a plastic lid. I ditched it after I was diagnosed for a new one with a glass lid. Ceramic and glass if they're cleaned thoroughly should not retain any gluten. But plastic would be a crap shoot I think.

I think H&P has soy, not sure. I'd question soy or nightshades before crockpot, in that order, but that's just me.

P.S. I made an awesome beef stew tonight gluten-free /Dairy Free/ Soy free from a Martha Stewart recipe. I haven't been around long enough to know if you're allowed to post links, but you can search it online. It's the one with flour (I subbed brown rice flour), balsalmic vinegar and tomatoe paste and potatoes, etc, (garlic, carrots, onions, chunked beef, water)..in a 5 qt. covered dish or crock pot. It was ab fab.

Good luck...

It says it is, but I think the important thing to remember when you're trying to track down what may have glutened you is that 'gluten free' is a range rather than absolute zero. If your gluten tolerance is lower than where this sauce's gluten free range is, than it could still be making you sick, you know?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      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.
