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.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
