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.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
