Hi there,

I too got a bread machine for Christmas, the Breadman TR2500BC (Ultimate Plus) Which has a gluten free cycle on it.

I made a loaf of Pamela's Wheat Free bread today, (just to get the feel of the machine before I got too fancy with all those flours and mixing.)

I set it for gluten free, The whole deal took 1:19 minutes. And my bread really isn't cooked all the way through.

I have thrown i back into bake mode to cook it longer but I really don't know what I will end up with. In the future, how do I determine the time I need to cook it for in the breadman for Pamela's mixes, I also bought the Gluten-Free Pantry one just to try that one out at a later time...

Any tips from Breadman experts out there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cindy

Well, I guess I can just post a response to my own question. :P

I emailed Pamelas and they responded very quickly. I just got around to trying another batch of the wheat free bread and at the suggestion of Pamelas used the -- White Bread Setting, Medium, and Rapid setting. They said since this is an 'old world' style bread the gluten setting on my Breadman wouldn't work right.

Today's loaf came out almost perfect. It still looked like it needed more time, so I put it on bake for an additional 20 minutes and that did the trick.

Now, how do I stop myself from eating the whole loaf in one sitting? I never ate bread like this prior to gluten free.. Yikes:)

I want to try my own bread making without the mixes but it all seems very confusing with all the different 'flours' out there, and every store doesn't seem to carry every ingredient so it doesn't seem to be a one stop shopping experience...

Need to tackle that next --

I haven't had much luck gluten-free with my breadman--seems like most mixes are for 2 lb loaves, and they spill over in my breadman. They are so expensive, I hate to measure 1/4 of it out and make a 1 1/2 lb loaf, so I gave up and I make Annalise Roberts' subway sandwich bread, which is delicious, but you are right, it is not a one-stop shopping experience (unless you want to grind your own millet in a coffee grinder--in that case, you can get everything at the Asian grocery store).

At any rate, I just used the regular medium setting on my breadman, and the part that didn't run over was perfectly baked and delicious.

Hi, I just got that same bread machine, and I have a question... will yours allow you to select 2lbs for the gluten-free setting? mine won't, and that doesn't make any sense because in the booklet it comes with the chart shows that it is capable of doing 2lb settings in the gluten-free cycle. It will switch to 2lb or 1.5lb on some of the other settings, but not the gluten-free. anyone else have this problem? and also, I tried the cinnamon raisin bread recipe they give using a gluten-free pantry bread mix and it came out half-cooked in the middle. I just scooped it out and used the rest, but it still grosses me out every time I force myself to have a piece of it. thanks for the tips on baking it... I'll try those next time!

Hi there,

I guess not, now that I look at it. I assumed that when I initially chose the "loaf size" button and it said 2lb that I was good to go. When I scroll down to the gluten-free setting I now see what you are saying ... that it doesn't show size. Hmmm

When I had a loaf that wasn't cooked completely, I set it to 'bake' and left it on for another 1/2 hour or so.. maybe you can try that next time.

So far I have been sticking with Pamelas Wheat Free mix.

I tried Bobs and it was gross tasting.. (sorry Bob) All I have to say is if that was my first experience with my Breadman, I would be out of business now :) Plus Bobs was overflowing, whereas, Pamela's didn't do that.

      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
