Dedicated Breadmaker

I have been gluten free for 6 weeks (yay me!), and have done very well with this. I am a good in the kitchen so adapting for me hasn't been too big of a deal. The issue is that I have not switched my family to a gluten-free diet, for several reasons, the primary reason being cost etc. I purchased a new breadmaker for making my breads, which I am having some success with. Last week I decided that I would make some french bread for my family in my new bread maker, as the old one is a vertical loaf and doesn't perform as well as the new one. I cleaned the pan carefully, and wiped out the unit so no crumbs etc were in it, then made my bread. I had a reaction to something, but it could have been another item (ie. Kraft Light mayo, or honey baked ham). My question is this, can I use my breadmaker to bake regular bread and make dough AND use it for gluten-free bread? I just can't afford to have a completely gluten free home for my family of 6!

This is probably not what you want to hear, but I think you just sacrificed your bread maker to the gluten gods. I looked at mine and realized there was no possible way I could clean it completely of every spec of gluten. There are just too many nooks and crannies. And if you're as sensitive as many of us are, just a spec will nail you. Your reaction was probably to your bread maker. Unless yours comes apart more than mine, I think you may have just lost your appliance to the glutenators in the family.

Bummer. :( :( :(

Bummer. :( :( :(

I gave my old breadman bread machine away and I bought a new one.

I also had old flour as well and that went to the person to whom I gave the old, beloved machine.

I knew that I couldn't get the old wheat and rye flour out of it and I just bit the bullet and purchased a new one,

which I love!!

But yeah, bummer.

You are probably going to have to get a new machine.

But can you perhaps do this.

Are you a natural born baker?

If so, can you dedicate a couple of loaf pans to the gluten free gods and go your gluten-free baking by hand.

I mean you don't need to do a second rise so it might be the best thing for you?

Then you can keep the bread machine you already own for the wheat and rye concoctions.

BIG BUMMER! :(:(:(

waaahhhh, that makes me sad. But I think you might be right AlysounRI, I do like to bake, and I am finding the gluten-free bread is easier than that nasty wheat based bread to produce a loaf quickly and without the second rise. Man talk about blowing it, I spared no expense on this machine. Good thing I convinced my hubby that I REALLY needed a new stand mixer as well! Fortunately my family loves the very easy french bread that I produce out of the machine, which actually makes me sick to think about eating!

Well, then make a lot of that - it will make them happy and get some dedicated loaf pans for yourself and do it without the machine. If you are a natural born baker, revel in it. Your new machine won't go to waste on your family's liking for your creations.

I like to bake but the minute yeast becomes involved, things just seem to go wrong for me, so I need a machine.

Make sure, also, that you have some dedicated gluten-free utensils to use with those gluten-free baking pans.

You'll be fine.

Also please share the recipes for what you make.

And happy baking to you!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
