I recieved this for a christmas gift and I never was a very good bread baker when working with yeast dough....I think it scared me as I truly hate to waste anything ( it goes way back from my german father that never ever waste)

anyway I purchased some mixes from mixes by Mona out of washington state. I hear they are very good but she suggests using her mixes the mixer way and not using a bread machine. Which I love the bread machine as I've never got a flop...does anyone do anything special with the kitchen-aid that will help me along? do you use the dough hook always???/ I heard some hate their kitchen-aid mixer and at $400.00 bucks I want to be able to get great results. any help ,,,,,, i accept all ....

thanks

read the instructions that come with it - it will direct you on when to use the dough hook and when to use the other attachments. (for muffins, I usually use the regular paddle, and if you like well mashed, fluffy mashed potatoes, the wisk is good for that as well.)

(I love my mixer. But it's not going to correct a bad recipe or problems in the cooking process for you.)

I've owned the Kitchen Aid for over a decade - it's the best thing I ever got for the kitchen.

For gluten-free doughs, I have never used the dough hook. I have always used the regular beater since our doughs are not as stiff as those using wheat as their base.

Really? I always felt that gluten free doughts where much much more thick. When I got my mixer(650 watt kitchen aid) I was told not to buy the less powerful one as the dought was much tougher on the mixer. That comes from my mom who does make a ton of both breads. Though, I hadn't made bread in about 10 years until I became gluten-free so I am not the best one to make a comment I guess.

She had said however, do not use the dough hook, to use the kind of "round one with the slash in the middle) hmm that was a bad description. The one that is like the hook, but does a full circle. It was because the dough doesn't hold shape as well as wheat based doughs.

Anyways, I love my Kitchen Aid mixer.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
