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.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      By RMJ · Posted

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading
