Does anyone make their own gluten-free bread in a breadmaker? Is it cheaper to just buy the bread mix, or buy all of the separate ingredients you need and make the mix from scratch? It seems like all of the ingredients are kinda spendy. Also, are Bob's Red Mill bread mixes pretty good? Do they compare to the real thing?

Thanks for asking such a good question! I am new to this and I just purchased a bread machine. I would love for people to give some feedback on this topic! My brad machine should arrive tomorrow!

From what I've read here, many agree that 'Breads from Anna' are the closest thing to real bread they've found. The site is www.glutenevolution.com. I e-mailed them to ask if I needed a bread machine to make their breads and Anna wrote back saying I could also use a food processor - since I have neither I'm getting a bread machine. Her mixes are sold on the net and in some specialty shops here in town and other parts of the country. On the site you can find locations of retailers near you.

We use these guys exclusively. All of their products are great... I don't like the cinnamon raisin bagels. Donuts, pizza crust, breads are all great. :)

Chebe is great for rolls, pizza sticks, hot pockets and other creations, but shipping is too high.

I have bought all the separate ingredients and it runs up to a truck load of money. You need to keep all of the flours in the fridge too or they go rancid. This magnificent group was raving about Anna's breads which they say are killer good. So, next pay day I will order up a case from the US. as she ships to Canada. I have encouraged for us Canadians on the group to email the two biggest natural food stores in Calgary and to get her friend who has a store in Toronto to carry it and do shipping in Canada. I hope they all jump on the chance. I have a bread maker and some recipes but I did not like the recipes that much and buying the ingredients are costly. I do have smalll quantities for making gluten free cookies which are to die for, especially the chocolate chip.

I suggest trying Anna's breads and she has different types. As I can't have dairy she also has dairy free and much more. Good luck.

I'm also from Idaho...and very new to this but I have heard the "Gluten Free Pantry" sandwich bread mix is good (haven't tried it yet)

I've been making my own from scratch and I think the cost is comparable to a mix.

Plus, I'm not overly thrilled with the results so far! LOL!

I'm leaning towards ordering some of the Bread by Anna mixes.

Have you tried shopping at the Co-op for gluten-free stuff?

On Wednesday I am going to order some of Anna's bread mixes and have them sent up to Canada for me. There is also supposed to be a new bakery here that has good gluten-free and DF bread. I have found the same with some bread recipes they are just to crumbly and dry, that I have tried. I have considerable bread recipes but they ask for copious amounts of rice flour and that makes for very dry crumbly bread.

Let me know if you can get Anna's up here! I have not ventured much into the world of bread, I just find it sort of, well, scary looking! I have not bought any of the Lakeview Bakery bread, but I did use some Kinnikinnick in my Thanksgiving stuffing. It was good as stuffing, but I tried some "plain" and found the texture sort of rubbery. My local Co-Op does not have much in gluten-free bread either, just that pasty looking rice flour stuff. I do my "normal" shopping at Co-Op and then every couple of weeks I go to Amaranth Whole Foods to pick up some stuff.

I have already emailed Anna and she will and does ship to Canada.Lakeview has some good recipes books for other things but forget their bread. There is Earth's Oven in Marda loop, going to give them a try on Wednesday also. Amaranth has great gluten free bagels. I have not had problems with the tofutti brand "Better than sour cream" or "better than cream cheese" even though they don't guarantee that there is no cross contamination with those products. I forgot to say that Anna said she has a pie crust mix out this month too. I have spoken to Natural Feast who doesn't have any of their pies up here yet but they would like to get them up here so, they are going to send me literature and I will take them up to Amaranth and Community to try to get them to carry them.

I don't like the Kinnickinnik frozen premade breads, but I bought the package to make the same bread myself, and it is great. I have made some of Bette Hagman's breads from scratch and they are good. I have also made the Celimix breads, they are a good starting point, but not great.

I must be Manna from Anna's greatest fan! I order 2 cases at a time and make a loaf once a week. I have this nifty knife that slices uniform slices and I package them and freeze them and make a sammy every morning for work. Or I cook them in English muffin rounds for awesome rolls.

Tonight I'm going to make a loaf and this weekend I'm going to make stuffing for a chicken to see if it'll work in the turkey in a few weeks.

I use my big Kitchen Aid mixer to make it... never tried it in a bread maker.

I probably tried 4 different bread recipes with lots of different kinds of flours and none was any good.

Manna from Anna rocks!!

I just baked a loaf of bread and dinner rolls using Breads from Anna. I have to say it is the best product I have tried! I used my kitchen aid to mix it and dumped the poduct in a loaf pan and a muffin tin for the rolls. I let it rise, which to my horror it did not. Went ahead and baked it thinking it was ruined! It turned out great.

I am not sure if I even want to try making bread on my own after trying this product. The consistency and texture was identical to regular bread. I am extremely happy with this product and encourage others to try it! It is worth it!

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for.

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
