I Got A Zojiruchi!

My first best gift was the memory foam bed my husband bought us for my gift. We've been sleeping better than ever!!! My in-laws bought me the Zojiruchi bread machine and this morning was my first loaf, one of Anna's breads, after 7 months of living gluten-free I've died and gone to heaven!!!! My husband thought it was the best of all the gluten-free breads we've tried so far, but he found it to be bland. I said "You're crazy! This is awesome after what I've been eating!" I'm so happy! Isquealed like a little girl when I opened it.

I know many of you have one and have used it for a long time. Are there any mixes that are bett than others? Have any of you tried the jam making option? I was so surprised to see that! Can I use the machine to make special breads like Anna's pumpkin bread??

The Gluten Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich bread is awesome. I add onions, green peppers, black pepper, garlic powder, and cheddar cheese to it. I generally make my moist breads (ie: pumpkin, banana...) in the oven.

We love our Zojirushi! Our favorite bread mix is Pamela's amazing wheat free bread mix. Sometimes we add cinnamon and raisins to the bread mix - it's delicious! For other breads (banana, pumpkin, etc.) we use the oven. I've never tried the option for making jam. We make jams every summer and it's so easy - it's never even occurred to me to use the bread maker.

Hi Kris

I'm glad your Christmas presents were awesome... I love that machine & Anna's mixes. I make her sweet bread in the oven. they are so simple...

We are thinking of buying the new memory foam mattress, which one did you buy? There are so many now on the market..

happy bread making..

I got one too!!! I'm so excited to use it. And I promptly ordered the Anna's Bread mixes.

You only need to use the machine for her sandwich breads. The specialty breads like banana and pumpkin can be made in the oven. I made them for Thanksgiving and they were wonderful.

About 15 minutes after I made this post I became incredibly ill. I had a VERY sudden rush of nausea that was most definitely caused byt he bread. You know how you can tell what it is when you are tasting it and burping it up.... well it was the bread! I took some phenergan and spent the entire New Years in bed!! I just can't figure out why Anna's bread made me sick! Was it the vinegar? I used Heinz apple cider, NOT flavored apple cider. I also used silk, and eggs that were fine, we had eaten them at breakfast. Could it be that there was something in the machine that didn't get proerly washed when I washed it out?? I don't know, but man was that a New Years mood killer!!!

Mamaw... my husband bought the bed through memoryfoam.com it was about a third of the price of all the others. they sell them so cheap because they do not put the layers of foam together for you, they ship them seperately with a type of matress bag. You lay the bottom of the bag out then layer your foams in order and zip it all up in the bag. The pieces do not slip and slide or lose their shape in any way, in fact you would never know it wasn't fully put together! We are in heaven!!

Boy, I can't think of a thing in the bread that would make you sick. I use the same apple cider vinegar.Maybe the montina flour?I think the bean flour also bother some people but honestly this is about the only bread I use anymore. Did you eat alot of it at once? I know that sounds like a stupid question but the first time I made that bread my grandson ate about 3/4 of the loaf in a matter of three hours...

Maybe try the gluten-free pantry bread alot really like that one. I haven't tried it because I buy cases of Anna's.

I hope you get to feeling better soon.....hugs

Kris,

I had a thought. The reason I can't use Anna's breads (as well as several others) is because of the tapioca flour.

Tapioca flour causes me to have nausea--the way you describe what happened to you.

Of course, if tapioca flour hasn't bothered you in the past, I'm way off, but I thought I'd mention it, as tapioca flour is the first ingredient listed.

Sorry you got sick :(

As far as I know I've had both tapioca and bean flours many times before. I only ate one slice, but I think it could have beent hat I didn't wash the machine well enough. My husband also ate a slice and was perfectly fine, but he isn't GI like I am. The other possibility is the tummy flu, but it just didn't feel flu like. Anyway, I'm all better now!! : )

The Montina flour in Anna's mix doesn't agree with me. I love the bread, but it doesn't like me :(

I hope you can figure it out and find one that works for you! I love my Zoji and use it all the time!

I can only have a little of the prefabricated gluten-free products without getting bloated, nauseous, etc. I ate an entire gluten-free hot dog bun one time and UGH! But I read in the magazine Living Without, that since celiacs have a hard time absorbing the nutrients we eat that we should really try to eat fortified foods like gluten-free breads.

I figured it out!! I was driving myself crazy because the bread had me feeling so sick I was afraid to try it again. I used pure coconut oil instead of regular oil. The coconut oil is a strong anti-fungal that will make anyone who has problems with yeast feel ill. I didn't realize the concentration it would have in the bread. Usually I try to spread a little on toast or in hot rice cereal, but I am careful not to take too much. I have been having the problems with yeast overgrowth again and just wasn't careful enough. Now I know that I can still eat Anna's and use my machine and be just fine! Whew!!

Glad you figured it out, Kris! We have to be food detectives :D

I also can't eat coconut, but I'm intolerant to it.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
