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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
