OK, I've been gluten-free since Jan 25th and now I'm craving some bread. I'll get definitive results on my dx on tuesday and am looking at wholesale flours.

1. I'm in college and have very little $$ but want to get a breadmaker - $40.00 sunbeam ok?

2. can you make french bread (like a imitation baguette) from gluten-free dough? (How!)

3. If the company says that the flours are made in the same "room" as gluten-containing ingredients, how much of a risk am I taking in buying it (the flours are rwally cheap! - www.bulkfoods.com)

4. THANK YOU! for responding!

m,

~ Can't say about the breadmaker as haven't tried mine for gluten-free bread.

~ I have tried 3 times to make a baguette using a Chicago Metallic Nonstick French Bread perferated pan, all failures. I've been planning on posting about it but not here.

~ Don't want to comment on the same "room" cc issue, but that bulkfoods doesn't look cheap to me. Not only that, it looks like white rice flour anyway. You can get that much cheaper at an asian or mexican grocery.

best regards, lm

Try this website for flours. Cathysbulkfoods.com. That is where I shop and there is no risk of cc. We do not buy anything that says manufactured in the same facility as. My daughter is very sensitive and can even react to gluten free pre made foods. I think other people buy these products and are just fine though.

Hi miso,

I make The Gluten Free Pantry French Bread--it's very good. I just mix it up (I use my KitchenAid mixer, but I'm sure it would work with a hand mixer) and bake it in my regular oven in a loaf pan.

I generally bake a loaf, and when it's cool, slice and freeze what I won't need right away.

I don't bother with a breadmaker, but you can make it that way, too. As far as which to buy, I can't help you there, as I don't use one.

Personally, I wouldn't use a flour that was produced in the same room as other flours--flour tends to get into the air and it's impossible to keep it contained to one place. Wherever it lands, you've got contamination.

I don't even keep wheat flour in my house because of this. ;)

I'm fairly new at this, too. Bette Hagman's book The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread has a very good French bread recipe. You'll need to combine flours for the mix, then from that mix make the bread. The measurements in parentheses are for a bigger batch/bread.

Thanks for the info, I just added that site to my bookmarks, but does it have flours like rice, potato, and starches like tapioca and such? The only gluten-free flours I could find there was buckwheat, maybe I'm llooking in the wrong place?

Thanks!

Miso!

They have all of those. It's the only place I buy from. When you go to their page clip on the link STORE. Then under choose a catagory choose gluten free flour and products. If you can't find a certain product just type it in the search spot. Their products that are naturally gluten free (like products that are not flours) are probably listed under a different catagory. Let me know if you need any other help.

the kinnickinik (i don't know how to spell...you'll know it when you see it. lots of k's & n's... :) ) brand has really good "english muffins." i've heard their other stuff is also good, but can't personally vouch for it! didn't know if you meant just homeade breads....but i'm a poor college student too and hate spending money on gluten-free stuff when i don't know if it will be good or bad so thought i'd give you a recommendation! also, you generally have to toast gluten-free breads for their taste/texture to be edible. good luck!

Asian markets or the asian section of your grocery store are great places to buy rice and tapioca flours and starches for really cheap. Also, rice noodles and rice papers are super cheap there. You can buy wholesome flours at your health foods store (I know, more expensive) such as sorghum, amaranth, and quinoa. They are available in larger sized bags which when combined with rice flour and corn starch, for example, makes them go a lot further.

1. I don't have a bread maker, but someone has posted on here that they like their Sunbeam.

2. I made a french bread (maybe Carol Fenster's gluten-free cookbook?) but I didn't really like the texture. But, you could experiment and so it is defifnitely worth trying.

3. I personally don't buy anything in bulk because I am very sensitive.

4. You're welcome.

If you have an indian grocery near you, they have some of the odd flours too. I found Sorghum there - $2.29 for a 4 Lb bag.... :D

kb,

Was it labeled as sorghum? Or did it have another name?

LM ~ did you ever get in contact with Twin Valley Mills? I am going to need to buy some more sorghum flour soon.

You may be able to find tapioca starch at your regular grocery stores also, if they have an asian section.

There is one of my local stores, Cub Foods, that carries little bags of tapioca starch for .59. So, for $1.18, I can get the same amount that Bob's Red Mill has for $3 something.

I also am afraid of the bulk bins.

Ditto on Hagmann's French bread recipe!

As are most of her others...I'm especially fond of the Touch-o-bean bread recipe for a go-to everyday bread.

Her pizza crust recipe is pretty darn good, too. Once you figure out and find all of these different flours, it gets pretty cheap after that if you have some extra time on the weekends and some freezer space and such.

Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
