Do I Need To Buy A New Bread Machine?

I have a Breadman bread machine that I got as a wedding gift about five years ago. I think the last time I used it was about five years ago!! Do I need to buy a new one, now that I am gluten-free? Do I need a new insert, or can I just re-wash the insert and stick with the same machine? I want to start baking my own bread, since it seems that everyone is saying the bread is much better when it's homemade.

If there is nothing stuck to it and you was it thoroughly then it is probably ok and you can keep that for it. Otherwise I think you should get a new one or something...just if there is something stuck on it you can't get off don't use that one.

If there's stuff stuck to the pan that you can't get clean, you don't necessarily have to get a whole new machine - that can be expensive - but at least contact the company to get a new bread pan.

I could not afford to buy a new one and got really desperate for some decent bread. I used some Dawn PowerDissolve on my bread pan and inserts and washed them vigorously. I then let them soak overnight and washed them again. I have not had any problems.

These are not mixes for a bread machine but here are some good breads

Kinnikinnick-donuts,breads, etc

Foods by George-english muffins(plain and cinnamon)

Cybros-rice rolls

Chebe(their bread mixes make a good pizza crust too)

Sorry I can't help with the bread machine mixes, I have not tried baking my own gluten free bread in a bread machine.

Some of the gluten free cook books give very good recipes for bread machines. The cookbooks don't cost very much and they are extremely useful. I found most of mine in my local bookstore.

The gluten free gourmet: Cooks Fast and Healthy by Better Hagman has a lot of gluten free bread machine recipes. She has all different kinds of bread like lunch bread, cranberry-pecan, cinnamon-raisin-nut, seame bean, orange bean...

Yes cookbooks by Bette Hagman are good but you have to have time for the recipes because it takes a while. I have a few cookbooks and am very happy with the results I have had from those recipes(haven't tried the bread ones yet though)

There are several good posts on this site about bread machines and different gluten-free mixes to use in them. Once you get the hang of this, it is not a big deal...you just put the ingredients in the machine and turn it on.

There is a posting about milling your own grains that contains my personal favorite recipe for mixing up a bulk amount of bread flour and then just taking out the 2 1/2 cups you need each time you bake. Some people prefer the bean flour mixes, others the rice or alternative ones. It seems to be a matter of personal taste. The results may tend to vary in looks according to your altitude, humidity, temp of ingredients, etc. so you may have to adjust any recipe a couple of times.

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      I feel the same way. Looks like the research is being done in Switzerland. Thank you Scott for keeping us updated on the research!

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
