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.

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in foods. I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
