Breadmaker Machine Question

Hi - I would like to get a breadmaker. If it's used to make gluten free bread, I'm assuming it CANNOT be used to make gluten containing bread. Would this be right? Thanks!

I have a related question--sort of the reverse--Can a bread machine that has been used for wheat bread not more than about 6 times be used for gluten-free breads? Momandgirls--sorry I didn't have an answer for you--I think one answer will work for both of us :D

IMO:

I would say NO do not use it to ever make gluten bread, your playing russian rolluletet with 5 bullets in the gun if you do.

And for NJGirl... yes you could, IF you can get it completely clean, every crumb, every spec of flour/etc.

:D hi everyone...im new at all of this and so far ive noticed that this forum is really going to help!!!

i recently bought a bread machine that has recipies and a gluten free setting, but have yet to find a recipe that tastes good. i think that i have a intollerance to rice flour and all the recipies call for it...does anyone have a recipie for bread machines that dont use rice flour??? and that also taste good??? also i was told that if i want to make bread containing gluten for the rest of the family that i could buy another basked and paddle...is this info correct???

Welcome MamaBear! I'm pretty new here, too, and you're right, this forum provides a wealth of information!

i think that i have a intollerance to rice flour and all the recipies call for it...does anyone have a recipie for bread machines that dont use rice flour??? and that also taste good???

Just a suggestion, but you may want to post that question in a topic of its own rather than under the heading "Bread Machine Question." There are lots of great cooks here, and if they see that question, I bet you get some great help.

If you have a separate basket and paddles could you make gluten bread??? Hmmm, you'll probably get different views on that. I would say no, but then I don't have any gluten in my house; home is the one place that is always safe. (It's just me and my very supportive husband. A gluten-free household may not work for some families) Cross-contamination is a problem for a lot of (all-??) Celiacs. As a bread machine mixes, the flour would have to get "tossed" up inside the lid and above the basket, etc. I personally wouldn't risk it, but that's me.

Mammabear - you may want to try Anna's bread mixes. Their mixes make great gluten-free bread. I make it all the time in my bread machine. I just checked their website, and they do have a mix that is rice-free. Open Original Shared Link

It takes awhile, but eventually you can perfect your recipes. After about four tries, I nailed bread in the machine. I have a Black and Decker.

They just came out with a Cuisinart one, that acutally has a gluten free setting.

I recently purchased the new Cuisinart Bread Machine. It has a special setting for "Gluten Free" as well as "Low Carb". I made one of the recipes and the bread weighs about 12 lbs. Tastes like a brick. I think I forgot to warm the milk before putting it in. Otherwise, it has a nice recipe book, but it asks for many different flours and a lot of cornstarch (which I could taste). What's the secret for making gluten-free bread??? ;)

I have this machine. I use the bob's red mill most Wonderful sandwhich bread mix or the gluten free Pantry favorite sandwhich bread mix, It takes alot of other flours to make other bread and All you add the each mix is oil, eggs, vinger and milk, it is great bread to I can give it lots of praise! the mix cost about 5 dollars but by the time you buy the other flours and the convience of the mix I think it is worth it!

Mammabear,

Breads by Anna are great and easy in the bread machine. I do put my yeast in warm water first. This just works better and the bread is lighter, etc. I don't believe this is the way it says to do it.

Gluten free Pantry mix is great too.

I have never made bread from scratch in my bread machine. THe mixes work great for me and don't take up as much room.

I don't know if I would use a bread machine that has been used for gluten containing breads. ONly reason I say that is my bread machine has some little cracks that I can't get clean and there is very small amount of bread remains in there and the little mixer piece is hard to get really clean. I guess if you dishwashed them it might get them 100% clean and if it hadn't been used for a very long time for gluten containing breads.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
