I posted this under another post but think I said it wrong leading to confusion.

When using a bread machine, do you want to use the quick setting? I borrowed my friend's machine and have made two loafs, both went to the dogs. It was horrible, ok not horrible but nothing I would walk to the pantry for! I made them on regular white setting.

Someone please help me. I miss bread so much and have not liked one kind I have bought or made.

Thank you for your response. She got this bread machine as a gift and never used it, so I got lucky there because I never thought about that.. even if one were to wash it very well, we should not use a used a bread machine?

Pretty soon I am going to give up. :(

I thought you might like to know that Bob's Red Mill makes a bread-machine gluten-free bread mix called Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix. I've made it a few times and we really enjoy its flavor. You can make it by hand as well. I think you can buy through the web, though I know more stores have been carrying the mix.

Make it in the bread machine on white, medium crust, 2 lb loaf.

Nothing better, trust me.

I gave up and got rid of my breadmaker. I know it helps if you mix and let rise separately and then use a bake only cycle on your machine. Or if there is a setting that has only one knead and rise cycle, instead of the traditional two, then you could use that. gluten-free flours act a little bit differently than wheat flour and breadmakers are typically made for wheat flour. <_<

I certainly found it easier to mix and bake int he oven. I now only make quick breads, and I buy my snadwich/toast bread from Kinnikinnick pre-made. I keep it in the freezer, so it stays fresh and is available anytime I want to use it.

God bless,

I make my bread in my machine all the time, I use Gluten-free pantry sandwhich bread. I set it on 2 lbs. and when the 2nd cycle starts you have to kinda scrapes the sides to help it mix. It really makes a huge loaf and it really tastey.

Hope you can get one to turn out.

Since gluten-free bread doesn't need kneeding and can be mixed by hand with a big spoon, it's actually easier to mix than wheat bread. We could actually consider this an advantage to a gluten-free diet.

Hi there....the Gluten Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich Bread is the one we use. We make it in a bread maker that makes 1 lb loaves, so we half the recipe. That way it doesn't have to stay fresh for so long. I am going to try Manna from Anna, too. I am also going to give the oven a try, since the extra kneading of the bread machine may be a problem. gluten-free Pantry Breadmix can be found at Whole Foods or onling at gluten free.com.

I don't think the extra kneeding is a problem. Since kneeding enhances the activity of the gluten, and our bread has no gluten to enhance, I would assume one could kneed until the cows come home without any affect one way or the other. :)

However, I've found that my oven breads do turn out much better if I whip them in my stand mixer.

The info about the kneading I got from the Gluten Free Pantry website. It did mention changing the texture of the gluten-free bread if it is kneaded too much. It suggested cutting out extra kneading cycles on your bread machine if possible. I found this at Open Original Shared Link. There it has tips on making your gluten-free bread. Just thought I would pass this along!

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
