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!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      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.
