I was interested in the post about a Kitchen Aid stand mixer with a gluten-free setting.  What is the model # please so that I can do some comparison shopping online?  Thanks!

Are you asking about a setting on a bread machine?  I can not imagine a gluten-free setting on a mixer.

Why would a stand mixer have a gluten-free setting?  What does that mean?  There is no special way to mix gluten-free cookies, cake, etc.  Just buy the one in the color you like.  
 

I will suggest you buy one that uses all metal attachments - not those white coated ones.  They seem to peel off after a lot of use.

A few years back Celiac.com did this product review, which might be helpful:

That’s a bread machine- they asked about stand mixers.

This bread machine has a built in mixer...

All bread machines have built-mixers (paddle), but you would not use a bread machine to mix up a cake or cookies.  It is designed to knead dough.  The gluten free setting most likely does not knead heavily and shortens the time by skipping a second knead and rise,  which is needed for wheat bread.  

I had a bread machine 20 years ago or more. I found it very handy because I was working and it takes time to knead dough and then allow it to rise (twice).  When hubby went gluten free, I stopped using it.  I did continue to bake once I started working from home.  I had time to knead and let dough rise.  I baked everything from loaves, brioche to burger buns.  (It is no wonder my hubby said that when I was diagnosed and I stopped baking gluten filled items, that he felt really good.  I was probably glutening him.  No proof, but I would not advise baking if someone in the house is gluten free.  Too risky.)

I bake all the same things now, but only gluten free.   I have time to mix, let rise and stick my bread into the oven.  For a working person, a bread machine could be very useful.  

As far as mixers, I just use a hand held one.  My kitchen is small and I do not have space for a larger mixer.  Someday, if I become weak and frail, I will consider it.  Most of the time, I use a wooden spoon.  Great way to work my arms!

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.

      Be careful about how much B6 you take, as it can cause issues if you take too much of it over time.
