Cross contamination in bread machine? Coeliac baking query....

I currently only use my bread machine for gf bread for my coeliac Ds2. However my 9 mo ds3 is egg and dairy allergic (but can tolerate baked egg and milk). I've found it hard to come up with breakfast ideas, but he loves fruit bread and hot cross buns etc. I'd like to start baking this fresh to reduce salt, sugar, preservatives etc, and I wondered: if I use a separate bread pan for gluten bread is this enough to minimise cross contamination or us it likely to get in Machine itself? Got quite a big kitchen but not room for 2 bread machines alongside separate bread bins, boards etc! I haven't baked with wheat flour at all since diagnosis as it seemed easier but now have to meet needs of my other 2 boys! Ds 3 has been coeliac screened already btw and seems tolerate wheat fine so fingers crossed :)

I'd personally not risk it - I know it the flour could get into the machine and it woiuld be very hard to clean it 100%.

I have a nice posh breadmaker but haven't used it for coeliac son for this reason, santa is gong to bring a nice shiny new one for Xmas ...

Thanks - as I hardly ever make gf bread (only one ds eats it) may go back to using machine for gluten and then get another one if I start baking it more.
