First Loaf Of Bread

We have used the Breadman for over 2 years now (the 2 lb. loaf machine) and it does need some help in mixing the dough up (I use my gluten-free spatula for that). I use gluten-free Panty Favorite White Bread Mix (I think it has dairy in it already). My only problem is that it takes over an hour for it to rise. then I bake at 360 for about 46 minutes and it's good bread.

OK, so I'm not Rachel, but I'd like that recipe, if you wouldn't mind posting it :)

Hi Laura..............I'm experimenting with bread recipes also, and I noticed this one that you posted only has 1/2 C potato starch and 1C cornstarch. Is this correct? It seems like alot of cornstarch, but I'm pretty new at this.

Thanks!! :huh:

When you do make your bread, cut it up right away and freeze it into individual portions! My homemade bread would be stale within a day or so. Yes, warm and tasty right out of the "oven" (I use a breadmachine) but wouldn't keep well.

I have had wonderful luck with Betty Hagman's "The gluten-free Gourmet Bakes Bread". I make her Basic Featherlite Rice bread and it is heaven. I substitute almond meal for the dairy and sprinkle cornmeal in the pan for a crunchy bottom. It is SO worth investing in this book.

Does anyone else have any suggestions for good cookbooks?

Well I did it!! I bought a breadmaker tonight. :)

YAY!!! I got the Cuisinart one with the gluten free setting. I hope it works good. I had the hardest time finding one though...I went to 2 different Macy's, Target and Walmart. Noone had any breadmakers at all. I finally went to Williams and Sonoma (a really awesome kitchen store) and they had the breadmaker I wanted. They also had like every kitchenaid mixer in every color....thats gonna be my next investment if the baking thing continues to go well. How will I ever choose a color though? :D

I need some good bread recipes now. If you read my other thread you know that I just found out I'm corn intolerant so I have to do everything w/out corn ingredients. That part shouldnt be too hard.

I've only found Bob's Red Mill flours for baking so thats all I use but they have a high probability of corn cross contamination since its all processed together. I want to try another brand but it has to be corn free. What do you guys use and where can I get other mixes like Bette Hagmans? I really need help with the flours because I'm pretty clueless in that area. I cant wait to make my first loaf....hopefully it wont end up like the one I wrote about when I started this thread.

I always made the Bette Hagman sourdough, you do keep a sourdough starter going and the longer it does it's thing the better the bread gets. Do you have the recipe? If not I can send it. She's got a lot of good ones, you might want to borrow or get one of her cookbooks.

I wish I could help, but I can't use the ingredients you're working with.

hey Rachel,

just so you know, the Bob's stuff that says gluten-free on the package are in a seperate facility from the stuff that isn't. there are, however, gluten-free products made in the non-gluten-free facility (carob, corn...) you just have to keep your eyes open. i learned the hard way.

did i post my bread recipe? (i didn't go back and check)... i have a bunch that worked out. let me know if you need some ideas :)

Lorka...I know the gluten-free stuff are processed in a seperate room (I dont think its a seperate facility though...same factory). I just found out I'm corn intolerant....maybe even worse than gluten so I'm worried about the corn cc with Bobs stuff. On the corn forum they all seem to react to Bob's products and dont recommend them....thats why I'm looking for other brands to use...like Bette Hagman's. Where can I get them?

Thanks anyway. I may have to order online. I found all the flours and mixes on the allergy website. Bummer....I hate ordering stuff online (unless its something fun). Waiting for flour to show up in the mail is not fun. :(

Can you get brown rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch in bulk at a health food store? If not, what about boxes of Ener-G brand potato and tapioca starches - they're in yellow and red boxes. Maybe your local HFS could order some Lundberg br. rice flour? I make my own mix from these, and it really does work well, with xanthan gum. It's waaaaay cheaper than anything you can buy pre-packaged. You can also add about 20% bean flour to the mix for more "spring" in the baked goods.

I remember packing some sweet rice flour and mailing it to my sister. I wrapped it so well...I was worried about what would happen if the box broke and there was "suspicious white powder" all over. Call 911! There's suspicious white powder all over the Tim Hortons! (or Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme or whatever.)

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      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.
