Help! Bread Machines...(again)

No one wanted to tackle the bread machine question I asked a few days ago? Fill me in if that was a dumb question. I'm so new to this that I guess I even need to figure out how to ask the right questions.

So once again. Is a bread machine recommended? What brand of machine does anyone have and do you like it or not?

Thanks. Info would be so much appreciated!

Hi Carol--I don't recall your question, but I'm sorry you didn't get any responses. I don't eat grains now (intolerant), but when I used to make gluten-free bread, I used mixes from The Gluten Free Pantry. I would mix them up in my Kitchenaid, and bake them in the regular oven. They were easy and very good. I don't have any experience with the bread machines. :)

Hi and welcome! Sometimes people just don't see posts, always feel free to post again! I know a lot of people on here really like Zoj-I think they are expensive though. I just have a West Bend machine and have had no problems using it for gluten free bread recipes. You can buy the mixes too, Anna's is quite popular, or the Gluten Free Pantry also has bread mixes. Bette Hagman has a whole cookbook dedicated to breads also, and if you want to try different recipes you can usually get cookbooks from your local public library (they should be able to get intralibrary loan for you if they don't have the books you are interested in). You also will have the advantage of not having a bread machine before needing it to be a totally gluten free bread machine, as sometimes they can be hard to truly get gluten-free once you've messed with regular flour in one. I'd recommend one, I think they are quite handy and have little kids, so I know what you mean about the time issue-I think sometimes with preschoolers you hardly have time to take a shower or open the mail let alone anything else. :P

I just got a Zojirushi (just got as in 2 days ago) and have made one loaf of bread. It was good! The zoji is expensive, I paid $217 (incl shipping) from amazon .com but it's worth it. I made a mix that I bought at the store and it turned out very well. Even my husband liked it.

I don't have a bread machine, as I've always made my own bread. I recommend going online and reading user product reviews to find out what machines are rated highly in general. Any machine that makes reliably good bread can make reliable gluten-free bread.

We have a cuisanart bread machine. IT does have a gluten free setting on it, but I don't think it's necessary.

My wife has also made some gluten-free breads w/o the machine, and they turn out fine. I think the machine is faster, but not necessary.

I have a cheap sunbeam. It doesn't have a gluten free setting on it, so I use the normal setting. I use Pamela's bread mix and my bread always comes out right. I like using the bread machine because it's so easy. You just dump the ingredients in and turn it on. I don't have to keep checking the oven and I can leave the house to do errands, come back in a few hours and have fresh bread.

Don't buy the cuisinart. It burns gluten-free breads even on the light setting and you have to help the machine mix the batter, so it defeats the purpose.

I'm selling mine on craigs list as soon as I get a replacement paddle, a loaf of Pamela's bread ate it and DH threw it away :ph34r:

I've never had a problem with mine, but we'll kepe an eye on it. I was not aware it did that, as we can get exactly the same loaf from the oven as the breadmaker. I will agree however that it does not mox so good as the paddle is quite small. (all of the above IMHO)

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
