My advice is don't buy one. Gluten free breads don't need all that kneading and extra rising. There are some great recipes where you mix it up, put it in a bread pan, let it rise once and bake it. I have an expensive bread machine and I probably will never use it for gluten-free breads. I'm keeping it in case, but at this point don't need it.

Ditto the advice. Before I went gluten-free, I used a bread machine because making bread required lots of hard work and timing. Kneading. Rising. Kneading. Rising. gluten-free bread is much easier to make. So carefully consider why you need a bread machine. Do you have the space to stow it or will you need to keep in on your counter (and dust regularly)? Do you like to clean those machine parts? Will you make enough bread for the cost/benefit to equal out?

If I were you, I'd buy a couple of quality bread baking pans, a muffin pan, and a really pretty bread basket.

OK . . . I'm a dissenting vote . . .I like my bread machine because it takes me 5 minutes to dump the stuff in and I can leave the house or I can get wrapped up in a movie or whatever . . . I don't have to watch the clock to put it in the oven or take it out.

I bought a Cuisinart because I thought that I would need a "gluten free" bread setting. As it turns out, the bread of choice at our house is Pamela's which runs on the basic "white bread" setting so I didn't need to spend as much as I did.

My advice would be to first experiment with a couple of the bread recipes/mixes to see which one you like. Then if you don't "knead" (heehee couldn't help it) a special gluten free setting than you don't have to pay for it.

That being said, I do like my Cuisinart (CBK-200).

My vote is for a bread machine. Not everybody has time to mix up bread dough. I make bread from scratch as well but there are times when I don't have the time to spend measuring & mixing so other times I use the bread machine.....

The best in many of celiac eyes is the Zojirushi.... it is a workhorse & worth every penny.....

      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 🤍

      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!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
