Hi,

I used to be on this list when I first discovered our family "celiac" problem, that was in 2000. I have baked bread in my AMBIH70 machine for years now. However, my Bob's Red Mill bread mix seems to rise too high and falls apart if you use it for a sandwich. With a senior son in high school who has to eat gluten free "bread" is a big deal here now. Last year we muddled through with mom's falling apart bread, this year I am relooking at everything and would love your advise. Our son began asking for buns. I bought the french buns by Gillians that are frozen from Whole Foods and he says they are ok, but...very dry. He can't have the frozen gluten free breads from Wh Foods, because he is allergic to dairy and they have milk in them. I made hamburger buns on Saturday and he said Mom, this is it, just don't make them so tall. I put my bread machine away and am now reverting back to mixing and baking. Does anyone have a bread pan to suggest for me? :D

Mixing....I have an old Sunbeam stand mixer that "eats" my gluten free dough as it moves up the beaters into the motor every time! I did a little research yesterday to find that KitchenAids don't do that so ordered one with a "big" bowl to mix several loaves at a time. Our daughter has a zoruji (sp?) bread machine so I can use that anytime I want. However, I am wondering if there is also a cheaper one that I might get that actually has a gluten free setting so that "if" I can find a good scratch recipe (or even mix) again (used to have one) that will actually hold together for an 18 year old boy's school lunches, I can have one that is mine. Since I just ordered the mixer I don't want to do a bread machine too. Any suggestions? :)

And, one more question: I want to make homemade hamburger and hot dog buns. We have already tried the frozen kind, but he says "mom, they just aren't the same". I find pans for them on the internet, but they are aluminum. We have alzheimers in our family and we stay away from it. Does anyone know of any stainless steel ones? Or has anyone actually used the english muffin rings with success? They are only about 3/4" tall and I was wondering if the batter spilled over the edges? :rolleyes:

I would appreciate any advice you have for my

1. Bread Pan?

2. Recipe?

3. Bread Machine.

4. Hamburger/hot dog bun pans "not" aluminum?

5. Muffin Ring Experience?

Its good to be back with others that understand! Thanks, Pilgrim

Enjoy Life makes a good sandwich bread if you want to buy it.

I make the bread from Annalise Roberts cookbook and it does fall apart pretty easy but it is very good.

I have the Bosch Universal system and use the bread hooks for mixing the bread batter.

I have tried several things to form hamburger buns. Recently I have hit on something that really worked well...

At Williams-Sonoma I found some mini Springform pans. (Reasonably priced about $5 each) They are about the size of large store-bought hamburger buns. I've made buns with them a couple of times now with Chebe mixes. I have left the base in the bottom of the pan and have removed the base and cooked directly on the baking sheet using the ring just for the shape. These mini springform pans work great for hamburger buns either way!

I look forward to hearing ideas for hotdogs buns, because I haven't solved that one yet.

I use the pans from Chicago Cutery, hot dog & hambuger pans. I love the bread mix from Anna's. You can find it & info at "gluten Evolution" her site. I have made dozens of loaves of bread & buns with her mix. Love that girl!!!

welcome back

Also thanks for the idea of using the mini springform pans. good idea.

:) Hi --I hope these ideas help-

For a good bun substitute that is bought ready-made, I use the English muffins by George-they are frozen. I split them, smoosh them down a little and toast them and they are really good for a burger or sandwich.

For bun pans, we had a thread about that-I don't know what to do to link it, but it is on page 31 (of this baking and cooking topic) There are a couple of great ideas on there. Also, for pans try Open Original Shared Link -that was recommended not too long ago. Good luck!

The King Arthur Flour catalog has lots of good quality steel pans for things like hamburger and hot dog buns. It's torture to read that catalog because of all the goodies we can't have, but I love it anyway - it's like celiac porn :lol: . I'm sure they have a website.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
