Bread Machines

I'm wondering if we really need one. My little girl really doesn't eat much but I hate to think of spending almost $5/loaf.

I looked at a "Breadman Corner Bakery" at Target yesterday. There is one for around $100 that has a "gluten-free" setting. Does anyone have experience with this? I also looked in a gluten free bread cookbook and the author says she doesn't need a machine cause she can watch it and put it in the oven when it looks ready to bake. But I'm a busy mom of of lots of kids and can't sit around watching bread rise.

So is the expense of a bread machine worth it and does bread turn out better with or without a machine? Also, is there a brand that is clearly the best for gluten-free bread?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I love my zor bread machine as I don't alway have the time to bake. I have heard that the breadman is okay but I can't say since I don't have it. I use Anna's mix in my Zor all the time and it is wonderful. I think the machine is for saving time... You can use them for making other stuff besides bread.I know the motor has to be strong for the gluten-free breads.

I was going to get a Breadman from Sears for about the same price then I went to Amazon to see the reviews and they were awful. So after more research, I bit the bullet and spent twice for the Zojirushi. Sometimes if you spend a little more in the beginning you end up saving in the end.

I know there are a few threads on bread machines, but here goes,

I have a cuisanart bread machine, and we love it. IT does cut down on the cost, and it makes a pretty decent loaf. It is one of the rare machines with a gluten free setting, but as you may readf in other threads, it is not necessary to have. Some think it burns all the bread, so they use the normal setting.

We use it to make bread for the kids as well, so it does double duty. If this is the case, make sure it is cleaned well after each use.

In the end, you have to weigh the cost of the store bought gluten-free bread against how long it will take the machine to pay for itself.

Hope that helps.

NB...we would not have bought one so quickly, but right after my dx, my MIL bought us one.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

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

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
