Breadmaker Inquiry

I'm interested in any advice anyone can offer on breadmakers. I'm shopping for Christmas and have found several machines, but gluten-free mixes are a little tricky. I'm anticipating some trial & error either way, but any thoughts or personal experiences are appreciated. Thanks!

i was just going to post a similar question!

i'm asking for a bread machine for Christmas but i don't want my family to spend a ton of money (we're all trying to spend less this year, like so many other people). i've read good things about the Zojirushi brand but they're all pretty pricey ($170-$200). the Breadman (TR875) seems like a great machine for a fantastic price ($80 on amazon). does anyone have any good or bad things about these brands?

also is there a universal brand of flour or bread mix that is good to use in a bread machine? i might ask for some of that too, for Christmas B) thanks!

I have been looking at the Breadman also; seems to get really good reviews for the cost. And yes, that Z brand is a tad too expensive for my budget too!!!

The gentleman who sent me a message said he used a Sunbeam machine that seemed to work pretty well. He says he uses the Pamela's baking mix and gets better results than following the oven-only method. The Sunbeam machine includes 10 pre-set programs.

In regards to machines that offer "gluten-free settings": "Apparently the big selling point to some of the more expensive bread makers is that the gluten free dough doesn't need a second rise time and some machines have that as a built in program or are programmable." (quoted from Tim's message).

Back to the mix to request: We've used Gluten-free Pantry brand in the oven and gotten pretty good results. A friend made some in their breadmaker and it was pretty good. I've recently obtained a giant bag of Pamela's gluten-free mix and have been using it for pancakes & biscuits, so that will probably be the brand I use for the new machine.

Let me know if you have any other info, Lee Lee! Hope this all helps!

Having never made bread until i got my Oster Breadmaker I would recommend them. I use it at least once a week to make pamela's bread mixes and it comes out great! It is sold in Bed Bath and Beyond and is inexpensive.

Just a note on the Pamela's bread mix (which is what we use) . . . It does not require a "gluten free" setting or a programmable machine. You are SUPPOSE to use the standard white bread program option on the machine. Of course, this implies that Pamela's is your mix of choice.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
