Hi! I'm Proud-armywife and I am a gluteholic!

So what do you think of this machine? Steep price, but maybe it will help me. My family is bread eating crazies! And I am considering this option. I know you are stuck buying their mixes frankly it looks so yummy I watched the demo and drooled!!! LOL I have not eaten any bread since being diagnosed... Any thoughts would be so helpful!!

I'd be hesitant to buy any equipment that required me to use only that manufacturer's mixes. I have thought of buying a bread machine, too, but am holding back as I know they are expensive and they really only make one kind of bread (a loaf).

Or maybe I would be better off buying a really good KitchenAid stand mixer with a heavy duty motor although I'm holding back on that, too, considering I'd have to try to make space for it and since it's heavy, it really would need to occupy counter space to use it regularly (the out-of-sight, out-of-mind theory).

In Elizabeth Barbone's book, Easy Gluten-Free Baking, she highly recommends the Zojirushi bread machine because I think it has two paddles for mixing.

Interesting topic and I'm looking forward to reading what others have to say.

I've been thinking about getting a bread machine, too. I looked at Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday and there were only two on the floor. One was pretty simple and only $70 and the other was a bit more involved and had a special "gluten free" setting and was something like $130. Anyone know if that's even necessary? I'm thinking a bread machine would be better than just oven baking since I moved from sea level to 7000' above sea level and still have no clue how to make things that don't deflate in the oven :lol:

I LOVE my bread machine. It's a Cuisinart, and it rocks! It has a gluten free setting, but I've never used it. I use the regular setting to make Pamela's yummy bread. Otherwise, I purchase Udi's frozen loaves (they are AMAZING!) for sandwiches, and I love Brazilian cheese bread for dinner rolls. But if you do want bread, I'd recommend buying a machine that you can use different mixes in. I'd be VERY hesitant to get involved into something that only lets you buy their mixes...especially when it comes to food.

It TOTALLY limits your ability to bake certain things. Also since you're a Mil. Wife too, remember that certain duty stations may not even be able to order the mixes so you'd be back at square 1 (no bread machine).

I have an older one my parents gave me years ago and I scoured out, and I use the wheat setting, it seems to work pretty well with Bob's Red Mill flour. Although that being said, I would like to get a new one so I can stop being paranoid about CC.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      By trents · Posted

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
