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)

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.
