Bread Keeps Falling!


CarrieCO

Recommended Posts

CarrieCO Newbie

I am in need of some help... We have been gluten-free for about 6 weeks and I am having terrible luck with bread. Using a bread machine, I have tried a variety of bread mixes but they always fall and end up dense and "bricky". I purchased a second machine and same problem.

Pamela's seemed to do ok and it was yummy. So did Gluten Free Pantry, tho we didnt care for it.

Is this a yeast issue? Are the packets that come in the mix generally bad and need to be replaced?

Is it my machine? I currently have a Welbilt 3000, purchased at a thrift store. Works great, I think... I set it to normal/light. Put in liquid then dry then yeast in a well on top.

I also live at a high altitude - 5,500 ft

any insight is appreciated!! Thanks!

Oh me too. I've had HORRID luck.

I hope we get an answer. I've tried making two of the Bette Hagman breads and am on my second loaf today.

BLECH. I really want a grilled cheese.

My bread is not dense but it always falls or sinks in. I have been making bread in a machine since Christmas last year. There is still enough area to make sandwiches and such but it is always frustrating to see my sunken loaf!

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or two everywhere he goes. I would go see an allergist as soon as possible as suggested.

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain nuts or fish) or a true IgE-mediated food allergy, which can develop at any age. The symptoms you describe—cramps and the urge to vomit—can be consistent with either. It is crucial he sees an allergist for proper testing (like a skin prick or blood test) to identify the specific culprit and rule out a serious allergy, as reactions can sometimes worsen with repeated exposure.

      Nuts are a common source of food allergy reaction/intolerance/sensitivity. But fish usually not. Of course, intolerances can develop to any food, whether or not they are common ones. I'm at a loss here.

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.
