I finally took the plunge and purchased a Zojirushi BBCCX20.I have been thinking about it for about a year....it's expensive $200. Have not had a chance to try it out yet....it arrived late in the day yesterday, and we had a 3 hour electrical outage!!

I have an assortment of bread makers...about 4 at last count, and will donate them all to the Goodwill except 1, which will be my husband's machine. There's no reason why you can't use an inexpensive bread machine....I have an Oster, Chefmate, Zo (old one) and Homebaker, or something like that.....all purchased almost new at thrift stores. I've used all of them to make gluten free bread with OK results. Am still looking for the perfect recipe that suits my taste, and am coming close to that. None of my previous machines would allow me to choose just 1 rise. Often I would use the machine to just mix the dough, and then pop it into a loaf pan, let it rise, then into the oven. I had so many machines because 2 were left on the motorhome,2 at home. I prefer the removable kneading blade, which I remove ....when I remember!

I think Friday will be the day I try out the Zojirushi...would like to try adding some Expandex to a recipe, and have not decided which one to use yet.

Ginsou, I have the same Zoji and I **love** it!!

It's easy to program and you are going to use the Memory cycle almost exclusively unless you do cakes. This way you can set a certain number of minutes to preheat, knead, rise (rise 3 only) and bake. And off you go. You are going to love it.

As for the Expandex, though, it has been suggested to me by someone who is better at baking that I am, that it doesn't work all that well in the bread machine and that you are best off using Expandex in combination with a regular oven. But if you experiment, please let me know how it went. The only loaf I made with Expandex in the bread machine collapsed in the middle though it did bake through. And the texture was most def. more spongy.

      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!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
