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.

edit is : I have suggest to her for us Canadians.

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!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
