I was interested in the post about a Kitchen Aid stand mixer with a gluten-free setting.  What is the model # please so that I can do some comparison shopping online?  Thanks!

Are you asking about a setting on a bread machine?  I can not imagine a gluten-free setting on a mixer.

Why would a stand mixer have a gluten-free setting?  What does that mean?  There is no special way to mix gluten-free cookies, cake, etc.  Just buy the one in the color you like.  
 

I will suggest you buy one that uses all metal attachments - not those white coated ones.  They seem to peel off after a lot of use.

That’s a bread machine- they asked about stand mixers.

This bread machine has a built in mixer...

All bread machines have built-mixers (paddle), but you would not use a bread machine to mix up a cake or cookies.  It is designed to knead dough.  The gluten free setting most likely does not knead heavily and shortens the time by skipping a second knead and rise,  which is needed for wheat bread.  

I had a bread machine 20 years ago or more. I found it very handy because I was working and it takes time to knead dough and then allow it to rise (twice).  When hubby went gluten free, I stopped using it.  I did continue to bake once I started working from home.  I had time to knead and let dough rise.  I baked everything from loaves, brioche to burger buns.  (It is no wonder my hubby said that when I was diagnosed and I stopped baking gluten filled items, that he felt really good.  I was probably glutening him.  No proof, but I would not advise baking if someone in the house is gluten free.  Too risky.)

I bake all the same things now, but only gluten free.   I have time to mix, let rise and stick my bread into the oven.  For a working person, a bread machine could be very useful.  

As far as mixers, I just use a hand held one.  My kitchen is small and I do not have space for a larger mixer.  Someday, if I become weak and frail, I will consider it.  Most of the time, I use a wooden spoon.  Great way to work my arms!

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
