Gluten Free Bread Machine

I hope this is the correct place to post this.

But I wanted to start making my gluten free breads at home and wanted opinions on the best bread machine on the market with a gluten free cycle.

Anyone have one they love/hate? Is it worth the investment?

I just went out and got a regular bread machine when I was first diagnosed. It worked fine for gluten free bread. I also spent a fortune on all these different flours, egg replacers etc. I only used mine a few times. Most of the flours went in the garbage a few months later.

For me, as one person, it has been more cost effective to simply buy gluten-free bread. I get either Kinnickinnick or Grainless Baker. I personally like the Grainless baker the best. They both come frozen and I take half the loaf and put it into a plastic bag and let it thaw in the fridge. I use it within a week and haven't had any issues with mold. Most of our bread is best when it is microwaved or toasted before we use it.

If you have a family that is eating gluten free making it may be less costly for you though and the smell of baking bread is delightful.

I love baking, but I wonder if it's just easier to buy what I need. We have all the good stores here to get my bread. But I like the idea of making/baking again.

If you enjoy baking you could try just using regular bread pans and the oven for a bit. Then if you really enjoy the bread and eat it often you could go and get the bread machine. The convience of a bread machine is that it cuts out the kneading step and not all our breads need to be kneaded.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
