I know nothing about the sunbeam bread machine but the problem with many of the machines is that after a few uses the motor over heats & the machine dies. If you haven't used it yet you could take it back...

I can honestly say the zojirushi is a work horse... Love it, love it......

I got a bread machine with a gluten free cycle and the only thing it made is something like Play-Doh. I have found a recipe that makes a biscuit-like bread using a Cuisinart, if you're interested.

We have a Cuisinart breadmaker that I now use for gluten-free bread and so far all the loaves have come out yummy! I make them for my son who is the celiac in our house, but if it wouldn't be so much extra work we would all be eating his bread. I have had great succes with recipes from the Donna Washburn and Heather Butt cookbooks and also with a recipe from the recipe book that came with our Cuisinart. (It has a gluten-free cycle as well)

I agree about breadmakers breaking all the time though! This is our third breadmaker (we made our own bread for a couple of years) and it's the only one that has lasted longer than a year.

Anyway, it works great for us. My three little ones keep me super busy, so for me it's good to have a more hands-off way of bread making. (Although I figure that with the mixer method I could make a double or triple batch and save time that way.)

What does the "gluten free cycle" do differently from regular bread-making?

Kneading amount and rise time is different. Here's a little write-up explaining:

Follow the directions/recipe carefully, though, because some call for a gluten free bread cycle and some don't.

Meanwhile, he's a really easy recipe for little cheese-bread biscuits. No bread maker required.

I use butter instead of oil, and for cheese a mix a parmesan and cheddar.

I have the sunbeam bread machine and I love it. I have used it dozens of times. I follow the directions the bread maker said which is all liquid goes first; then flour and make a little pit for the yeast. You will have to help it mix a little since the flour sticks to the side bu from what I have read this is normal. I also use the gluten-free setting on the machine and my bread is great. I hope this helps.

I've just been cooking from my oven and have made a bunch of amazing bread. Cheaper, too. :)

I also have a few recipes that have turned out great with this bread machine

Yes the oven does good to but you have to either run gas or electric oven for an hour to bake bread. I used to do that, best thing I ever did was buy a bread maker.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!
