My wife just started a gluten-free diet, and out bread machine does not have any special settings. What needs to be adjusted for gluten-free mixes?

A bread machine that has a gluten free setting means that there is only 1 rise....that is all that is needed when making gluten free bread. Non gluten-free settings usually have 2 and sometimes 3 rise cycles. I do not have a bread machine with a gluten free setting...I simply put all the ingredients in the machine (in the order recommended) and program the machine for mixing dough. When the dough is mixed, I take it out, put it in a bread pan, let it rise, then bake in a regular oven. I made a loaf using this method a few weeks ago, and it came out pretty darn good. From now on, this will be my preferred method.

Google gluten-free bread machine settings and much information will be available.

I had considered purchasing a bread machine with a gluten free setting, but have decided to purchase a Kitchen Aid Artesian stand mixer instead.....since I have so many food issues, and most everything has to be made from scratch, I feel the heavy duty stand mixer will be worth the investment for me.

James,

I do have machine with the gluten free setting, but have also successfully made bread with a gluten-free recipe on just the white bread setting and it came out fine. You can't over work gluten free dough, supposedly.

Try a search of this forum for more threads on gluten free bread baking. There is lots of great information on this site.

Thanks for the replies everybody. My wife just started a gluten-free diet to help with the symptoms of her fibromyalgia (maybe pre-celiac disease?), so we're having to find new things a ways to eat.

thanks again

Funny that you should mention fibromyalgia....I suddenly became very ill out of a clear blue sky...in additon to severe abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea, I had sharp, shooting pains mostly in my abdomen, and on occassion in my arms and legs...these all disappeared when I went gluten, dairy, and soy free. Blood tests were negative, DNA tests were positive. On occasion, I still have symptoms including tingling sensation in my arms and legs and can usually figure out what the offending food might be....one of them being artificial sweetners.

Now, back to the bread making.....you will quickly find out where the expression "sticky fingers" came from when you try to handle gluten-free dough. A light coating of oil on your hands, or using Saran wrap to handle pie crust dough, etc. will help greatly.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
