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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
