Heavy Duty Standing Mixer

That is awesome about your husband's bread-making skills and conversion!

So far I have used my KA every single day this week, sometimes a few times a day. I made another batch of baguettes to take with me as I leave Sunday for two weeks to visit my family. It is necessary to have something that resembles bread!! :lol:

Back to the KA - it has been one of my most valuable and treasured purchases I have ever made. This sounds silly but it is almost my friend, just like my books. :P

My husband is doing a dietary trial for 6 months because he has issues that resemble a gluten problem and his testing so far has come up negative. He does have a double DQ-1 gene, which I take is gluten sensitivity. He told me he would have to find good bread to eat or he wouldn't make it. Such a drama queen! :P The conversion was not totally easy!

To my amazement, he started making bread from scratch and it came out pretty darn good for someone who never made bread before.

He uses the KA and loves the thing. I come home from work, as I get home later than he does, and can smell fresh bread when I enter. He's a keeper! :D

I am hoping he remains gluten-free forever because I hated wasting good food money on gluten products. He is asymptomatic GI-wise so the difference is not extremely dramatic, like you yourself know well. When he starts to put on weight, I will have validation he has a problem, not to mention his low vitamin levels and on again/off again anemia problems. I understand the frustration of those who have a tough time pin pointing the problem exactly! He is finding the diet not so bad after a couple of months into it and is surprised at how much is available for Celiacs. He didn't notice this so much when it was just me eating gluten-free but he's paying attention now. The best part is he is getting into cooking with me and we make a great team. I wish I had the capitol to start a totally gluten-free restaurant!

:lol: I feel the same way. You cannot go wrong with the Kitchen Aid mixer. My husband uses it to make gluten-free bread with the dough hook and he's now a convert. If you're doing any "from scratch" cooking, it's a must!

I could write this exact same post!!!

In fact, the KA MIXER was HIS when we met. :)

I fell in love with him AND his KA Stand mixer :)

He is the bread maker.

I do all the rest.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      @Scott Adams Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia? I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed. I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real for me, but was a fairly minor issue overall, which got worse after getting the more recent Inguinal hernia. My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, even though I directly asked him about it during my office visit: Me "can my hernias cause any digestive issues?" My doctor: "No, I doubt that." I still need to learn more about hernia induced IBS, but I realize now that I might have been affected by this to some degree in for a while.
