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?

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Rectal pain

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      Rectal pain

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?
