Help! Bread Machines...(again)

No one wanted to tackle the bread machine question I asked a few days ago? Fill me in if that was a dumb question. I'm so new to this that I guess I even need to figure out how to ask the right questions.

So once again. Is a bread machine recommended? What brand of machine does anyone have and do you like it or not?

Thanks. Info would be so much appreciated!

Hi Carol--I don't recall your question, but I'm sorry you didn't get any responses. I don't eat grains now (intolerant), but when I used to make gluten-free bread, I used mixes from The Gluten Free Pantry. I would mix them up in my Kitchenaid, and bake them in the regular oven. They were easy and very good. I don't have any experience with the bread machines. :)

Hi and welcome! Sometimes people just don't see posts, always feel free to post again! I know a lot of people on here really like Zoj-I think they are expensive though. I just have a West Bend machine and have had no problems using it for gluten free bread recipes. You can buy the mixes too, Anna's is quite popular, or the Gluten Free Pantry also has bread mixes. Bette Hagman has a whole cookbook dedicated to breads also, and if you want to try different recipes you can usually get cookbooks from your local public library (they should be able to get intralibrary loan for you if they don't have the books you are interested in). You also will have the advantage of not having a bread machine before needing it to be a totally gluten free bread machine, as sometimes they can be hard to truly get gluten-free once you've messed with regular flour in one. I'd recommend one, I think they are quite handy and have little kids, so I know what you mean about the time issue-I think sometimes with preschoolers you hardly have time to take a shower or open the mail let alone anything else. :P

I just got a Zojirushi (just got as in 2 days ago) and have made one loaf of bread. It was good! The zoji is expensive, I paid $217 (incl shipping) from amazon .com but it's worth it. I made a mix that I bought at the store and it turned out very well. Even my husband liked it.

I don't have a bread machine, as I've always made my own bread. I recommend going online and reading user product reviews to find out what machines are rated highly in general. Any machine that makes reliably good bread can make reliable gluten-free bread.

We have a cuisanart bread machine. IT does have a gluten free setting on it, but I don't think it's necessary.

My wife has also made some gluten-free breads w/o the machine, and they turn out fine. I think the machine is faster, but not necessary.

I have a cheap sunbeam. It doesn't have a gluten free setting on it, so I use the normal setting. I use Pamela's bread mix and my bread always comes out right. I like using the bread machine because it's so easy. You just dump the ingredients in and turn it on. I don't have to keep checking the oven and I can leave the house to do errands, come back in a few hours and have fresh bread.

Don't buy the cuisinart. It burns gluten-free breads even on the light setting and you have to help the machine mix the batter, so it defeats the purpose.

I'm selling mine on craigs list as soon as I get a replacement paddle, a loaf of Pamela's bread ate it and DH threw it away :ph34r:

I've never had a problem with mine, but we'll kepe an eye on it. I was not aware it did that, as we can get exactly the same loaf from the oven as the breadmaker. I will agree however that it does not mox so good as the paddle is quite small. (all of the above IMHO)

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
