Thanks for the gluten info! I'll keep looking for it!

As far as the bread not rising high enough, be sure you are measuring all your stuff REALLY accurately, and that you have EXACTLY the right amount of salt. Also, test your yeast to make sure it is fresh. Put a little yeast and a little sugar in some WARM water and see if it bubbles.
Are you making white bread or whole wheat? Wheat bread will be shorter and denser, regardless of other stuff. Hope this helps.
Maybe you should try a different recipe?
