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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
