I am new to this whole gluten free issue. After trying several very expensive gluten-free breads I really think I want to try and bake my own. So, I want to get a bread machine (preferably one that mixes, rises and bakes). I am looking at the Cuisinart CBX 200 which states it has a gluten free setting. Anyone with bread machine experience and advice for the new kid on the block??

I have 2 bread machines, none of which have a gluten free setting. None of my breads have come out spectacular,but were edible.I have been thinking of purchasing one with a gluten setting also, since none of the ones I have can be programmed to simply rise once, then bake. Of course, you can always use a bread machine with a non gluten setting to mix up the dough, and then simply transfer the dough to a bread pan to rise, then pop into the oven to bake. I've noticed most of the Zojirushi owners are very happy with the product... a Z machine is quite expensive, more than I want to pay, especially since discovering Udi's bread. Note: the Z mini-machine is not getting good reviews.....I was unaware that they made one until reading it on this forum.

A heavy duty motor in a bread machine is a must for gluten-free bread baking, and I would also prefer paddles that remove from the machine, so you don't have paddle holes in the bottom of the bread. I'd suggest doing a search on this forum for articles on bread machines.....much, much info right here on this forum.

I just read the reviews and information on the Cuisinart CBX and my appetite has been whet to seriously think about purchasing one.

Thanks! I am going to try my sister in laws (wash it out first, of course). I am still doing research on the Cuisenart. I am learly of buying a Z (to expensive) not sure I am going to be making that much bread. I will let you know if I find anyone who has the Cusineart with the gluten-free setting and how it does.

You will not regret spending the money on a Zo! Worth every penney. The motor lasts & lasts, mine is going on eight years -no problems. Usually cheaper brands last for a few years then die so the choice is buy a good one & keep it for a long time or replace one every time the motor blows up....

I have a freind who has replaced her machine (not a Zo) three times in eight years......I paid $199.00 for the one I have......

I had seriously considered purchasing a Zo....in fact, one of my bread machines is a Zo, purchased at a thrift store. Actually, I have 3 machines...all thrift store purchases for less than $20 each. Two are kept at home, and 1 in the motorhome. Hubby uses one for his gluten bread. I travel about 7 months of the year, and I'm going home for 3 days, and am going to find the Zo,(still moving in) and give it a whirl.It does not program for 1 rise, though, which is why I was thinking of another machine. I really want to try a 1 rise loaf. In addition to Celiac, I have multiple food allergies, so everything has to be cooked from scratch. Anything to make my life easier is worth the money.

Funny, I am a big thrift store shopper myself... I have been watching but have not found a machine yet. I am sure if I purchase, dozens will pop up!! Murphy's Law.

Anyway, I really appreciate all the feed back. This has given me some good ground work information to get me started.

I have a Cusinart with the gluten free setting. I have had it for 4-5 years. It makes wonderful bread. I have used store bought mixes when I am short on time but I have also used my own recipe and tried many recipes from others. I made some amazing bread from scratch using this machiene a few days ago. It is about $100 and really worth the investment. I don't have experience with the Z machiene but would reccomend the Cusinart

Good information! Thanks! What was the recipe you used recently that came out so well?? I would love to try it. As I said I am new to the gluten-free diet and have been experimenting with different recipes. Some have come out pretty good.... others, not so much :P

I, too, have owned a Cuisinart for a couple of years now. I've had no problems and it makes great gluten-free bread. My mom owns a Zo. I found little difference between the two except that the Zo had more "bells and whistles". For a simple, easy to use and clean machine, I'll keep my Cuisinart.

      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.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      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?
