As to using your grandmother's bread maker, that isn't a good idea. It will likely have gluten in/on it even if you wash it well and so gluten will easily get into your gluten free bread. If possible you will want to get your own new bread maker just for gluten free bread.

I hadn't thought about that issue. Thanks! I bought some bread today that doesn't taste too bad. The only bad thing is it is almost $6.00 a loaf so will have to make it stretch. I also got some GF waffles and pizza crust. I have tried these before and haven't had any problems before. I was just craving bread so much that I was trying to fill that hole with other foods and gained 5lbs in 2 weeks. Part of that is water weight and I will take a water pill in the next couple days to get rid of that. I was just quite bummed to find out I had gained that much and my T and I talked about it and we decided that was one of the contributions. We checked into making our own without the breadmachine but buying each ingredient is expensive. I am trying to explain to my mom why yes you do have to use xantham gum. She doesn't think you have to.
