Hi Everyone,

My mom is going to buy me a bread machine for my birthday (on Sunday) and wants to know which one to get me. Any advice or opinions on bread machines would be much appreciated!

We are currently trying to decide between the Zojinushi, Breadman (TR2700) and the Cuisinart (BNKR-200PC).

Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions and experiences!

Emily

Can someone help please. I just got a Breadman Machine to make my own bread. I tried my first loaf this morning. Bob's Red Mill "Walrus Bread". The recipe on the back of the Rice Flour bag said to ADD the wet ingredients after (mixing all the dry ingredients together (including the yeast))/ After adding in the wet I stirred it up a little then spooned it into my new bread machine. I had it set on "White Bread" as instructed by the Walrus Bread recipe and for 1.5 loaf size and light crust. I didn't use the gluten free setting because it wasn't in the recipe. I turned it on and it shook and hummed. The rise setting came on after a while. I just kept checking on it. And when it signaled it was done. I removed it and flipped it onto a rack. I waited approx. 10 minutes and cut it. The end was delightful and I loved it. After further inspection I noticed that under the top crust it was gooey and not baked. There was a pocket that didn't cook. So now My bread looks like a bowl after scooping out the uncooked goop. The recipe said to set it to "White Bread" and "lite". But there was no "lite" setting on my machine. So I set the crust setting to "light". I noticed at the time that when I changed it from medium crust to light that the preparation time got shorter by about 10 minutes. If I would have left the crust setting on medium would that of solved my problem? Or should I always check and if the bread does this again, set my machine on bake only and turn it on for additional time. I need help :( Thanks any one that can help me:)

My Christmas present to myself was the Zojirushi. I am finally using it for the first time tonight, (Bob's red mill hearty wheat mix, I was too lazy to do scratch)

I did lots of research and heard great things about it. I do remember reading about another that was not as expensive and still got good reviews though...can't remember what it was.

DanaPete, I would try changing the crust setting or anything that would make the cooking time longer. Do you have your manual?

Hi, my DH bought me a Hamilton Beach bread maker for christmas. I love it. It has a gluten-free setting and my bread turns out wonderful. The only thing I do is follow the directions for the machine and add what the package states. I put liquids in at the beginning and make sure they are room temp or short cycle through the microwave. Then add the dry ingredients...then the yeast. Nothing to it...pretty much set it and forget it until the bread is done... Just my opinion. Good luck with which ever you choose.

I have an Oster bread machine and I love it. This is my second bread machine but my first since going gluten-free. I cant believe I waited this long to get a bread machine.

Anyway, it has a bunch of settings and even a gluten-free setting which I use. I follow the instructions that came with the bread machine which is liquid first, dry and make a little dent for the yeast. My recipe does not say to do this.

Anyway all the bread I have made so far has been perfect.

Being a longtime gluten-free baker for my family I second the Zorjirushi--- it is a workhorse with a heavy duty motor...

Breadmakers : remember gluten-free dough only needs one rising so be sure to set your bread machine . Also if your bread collapses try using less liquid maybe by 2TBSP less. ANd baking time also needs to be adjusted. I bake Anna's bread mix in the Zo for2hrs 8min total time minus 2TBSP of liquid. Perfect every time.

Also remember toscrape down the sides of the machine when it is mixingto get all the loose ingrdients blended & smooth out the top...

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      The fact is, we know very little about the mechanism of NCGS at this point. We know much more about celiac disease. Some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. And I do not agree with what you read about NCGS not producing any elevated antibody tests. IMO, and I have no scientific data to support this, it's just a hunch base on reading many, many forum contributor test result reports, elevated igg antibodies may signal a transition from NCGS to celiac disease.  But there are other things besides gluten that can cause elevated dgp igg and ttg igg antibody levels. So, yes. I would continue to monitor the situation if I were you and get regular testing. Not necessarily every 6 months but yearly anyway if you can. In the meantime, if you know gluten causes you unwellness, continue to avoid it.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Statins are a widely prescribed class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Extensive scientific research, including large-scale randomized controlled trials, has demonstrated their efficacy and safety for most individuals. Statins work by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, thereby reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Importantly, statins do not "remove all fats" from the body, as suggested in your post. They specifically target cholesterol synthesis and do not deplete essential fats, such as those required for brain function, hormone production, or nutrient absorption. The body still maintains its necessary fat reserves, including healthy fats, which are critical for physiological processes. Regarding the claim that statins cause internal bleeding by making blood vessels permeable, this is not supported by scientific evidence. Statins are not known to increase the risk of internal bleeding. However, like all medications, they can have side effects, such as muscle pain or, in rare cases, liver enzyme abnormalities. The benefits of statins in reducing cardiovascular risk generally outweigh the risks for most patients, particularly those with a history of heart disease or high cholesterol. The suggestion to use odorless garlic, magnesium, vitamin K, and calcium for heart health may have some merit, as these supplements can support cardiovascular function in certain contexts. For example, magnesium is involved in muscle and nerve function, while vitamin K plays a role in blood clotting and bone health. However, these should not replace evidence-based treatments like statins when prescribed by a healthcare provider. Always consult a medical professional before making changes to medication or starting new supplements, as individual health needs vary.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Just judging from the reports we get from forum members sharing their endoscopy results, very common. But we also get a lot of reports of inflammation in those areas coupled with a negative biopsy for celiac. But I wonder if in a lot of those latter cases we are seeing NCGS or a transition from NCGS to celiac. I have no scientific data to support that. It's just a hunch.
