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!

I would love to try Mana From Ana, but her prices with shipping seem so high, and I cant find her localy. :( With how picky a toddler is I dont like risking ordering in bulk on a new product...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
