Has anyone made a loaf of gluten-free bread using one of the mixes available the "old fashioned" way with out using a bread machine? I would like to try this but don't know about any adaptations I would need to make of if it is even possible. :huh:

Thanks. Sue

Page 68 of The Gluten Free Gourmet by Bette Hagman explains how to modify recipes to work with out a bread machine, but if your gonna be making bread a machine is much less work, and you can do a delay start so that you dump all teh indgredients in to the machine in the AM and have fresh hot bread when you get home from work. :D I can look it up when I get home if you dont have the book.

PLus there are alot of recipies on this section of the board that dont use a breadmachine. LIke:

I make gluten-free bread without a breadmaker. I have used mixes and also some of Bette Hagman's recipes. The dough is more like quick bread dough rather than traditional wheat bread dough. I find it quite easy to bake from scratch.

I don't have a bread machine so I make my bread in the oven. The mix I like best is Breads From Anna: Open Original Shared Link. Simply amazing. Texture just like gluten wholewheat bread! :)

Oh boy, cornbread, how do you make the Manna from Anna w/o a bread machine?? I tried just using a heavy-duty electric mixer, and it was still such a mess! Now I have a bread machine, and it's a much neater process. Of course, I'm no expert in the kitchen... :P

I'm right with you on Anna's being the BEST bread ever! Just made myself a cheese sandwich with some for lunch!

Oh the pre-made mixes are easy. You'll be fine as long as you can follow simple directions :D

Thanks for posting this bread machine link. Just last night I decided that I'd get one for Christmas but hadn't researched prices so I thought I'd have to lay out $200 for a decent one. Now it looks like Santa can bring me more than an appliance. Hooray!!

To be fair, I dunno what makes the $200 ones worth $200, but all I know is mine works very well, no complaints. :)

I have not tired the "express bake -58min" mode yet, and probably wont since it says "makes the curst hard and dark" and I do not think I like that. The "basic" mode is all I use. Works with all the gluten-free recipes so far.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful, especially when the test results are marginal. But a result of 87.4 is probably out of the normal range and into the positive range for any lab's scale. But back to the question of why your endoscopy/biopsy didn't show damage despite significantly positive TTG. Because they took the trouble to take seven samples, it is not likely they missed damage because of it being patchy. The other possibility is that there hasn't been time for the damage to show up. How long have you been experiencing the symptoms you describe in your first post? Having said all that, there are other medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA values and sometimes they are transient issues. I think it would be wise to ask for another TTG-IGA before the repeat endoscopy to see if it is still high.  Knitty kitty's suggestion of getting genetic testing done is also something to think about. About 35% of the general population will have one or both genes that are markers for the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop celiac disease. So, having a celiac potential gene cannot be used to definitively diagnose celiac disease but it can be realistically used to rule it out if you don't have either of the genes. If your symptoms persist, and all testing is complete and the follow-up endoscopy/biopsy still shows no damage, you should consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. If not celiac disease, you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
