Bread Machine For A Shared Home?

My husband (non-Celiac) wants a bread maker/machine for his birthday.  First question - is there one you would recommend?  We have limited counter space so it would be kept in a closet and carted out when needed, and the bigger question - is there any way in the world that there would be one that is so easy to clean thoroughly that I could use it to make gluten-free bread, too?  

 

I can't imagine this would work, but thought I'd throw it out there...

Not only would I NEVER use a bread machine that ever held gluten, but I would make sure to put ALL of my gluten-free dishes/pans/utensils in sealed plastic bags and in a room at the other end of the house, plus remove MYSELF from the house while this bread-making was going on. You know that flour dust gets into the air and stays there for hours and hours before it settles on everything in the kitchen.

 

Maybe he could use it in the garage?

No more gluten flour in my house!  If my daughter wants bread, she gets it at a restaurant or at Grandma's.  Otherwise, she gets pre-packaged PB & J frozen sandwiches.  I will boil noddles for her in her own pot, but that's the extent of my gluten cooking.  She'll be the first to say that my gluten-free cupcakes and pancakes are better than gluten-free versions (or at least store bought).  

 

I used to have a bread maker when I was eating gluten.  It was delicious and we got fat!  Later, I made bread and kneaded it by hand.  At least I got a work-out to help off-set those extra calories.  But, with both hubby and I gluten free, the health risks are not worth making my daughter happy.  Safety and health first!

 

Buy him a bike or a new set of golf clubs for his birthday!

He doesn't sound like a very nice guy.   :unsure:   Spreading gluten flour and the smell of delicious bread you can't eat?  Maybe get him some very expensive shoes in your size?  Or a nice diamond necklace?  Something you can truly share with him.   ;)

Or, if you are sure he wouldn't make gluten bread while you're not around, give him some gluten-free breadmaker recipes and insist that is the ONLY kind of bread he can make in it. And who knows, if the bread comes out tasting good, maybe he will start going gluten-free in the house and only eat gluten when he is away from home.

My non -celiac (but lovingly voluntarily gluten-free  husband)  just said "tell Karen--that's a great answer!"

 

Nikki, my guy is a senior analytical chemist who worked in labs and he KNOWS what CC can do.

 

There would be NO wheat flour flying around my kitchen EVER once I was Dxed and he was the one who made that clear.

 

Absolutely NO sharing of bread making equipment.

Okay  I have a  different  approach... my  gluten hubby  eats  mostly gluten-free  but  if  he  wants wheat  bread it  goes out  on the  open porch  in  summer  or  else  in  the  outside  garage in the  winter  months.......that  is  where  the  wheat  breadmaker lives!!!!!  Now  the gluten-free  breadmaker  is  on  a  high  shelf where  no one  can get  it  except me  so  no mistake ......but  all the other ideas  are  wonderful.....by the  way  the  wheat  flour  is also  in  the  garage  fridge...... I  never  go  there!!!!

Thanks everyone- he really is a great guy :-). I guess both of us thought that it was a more self-contained thing if you used a machine. Didn't know there'd be flour out. And sadly, we're in an apartment, so no garage.

We'll have to come up with a different gift.

Hon, we're sure he's a great guy. None of us thinks otherwise, honest! :)

 

I just feel strongly that it is a real gamble to share a bread machine and to have flour in the air, that's all.

IMHO

My Gluten eating hubby eats the gluten-free meals I prepare, but I don't disallow him to have gluten in the house, he just rarely does.  I always tell him "crumbs are the enemy!" So he has offered to eat in the garage before... haha.

If he really wants fresh baked gluten bread (and you are cool with non-gluten-free bread in your kitchen) , and you don't want to deal with flour poofing everywhere, you may have some luck with frozen dough.  I've seen some nice gourmet looking dough balls, so those you may be able to just toss in a dedicated gluten pan and bake.  Still get the fresh baked taste but less mess.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
