Gluten Free, Tapioca Free, And Potato Free

Our church has a dilemma. My husband has Celiac Disease, and there is another guy there that is allergic to the cassava plant (tapioca) and potato. He is trying to eat gluten free too, anyway. But that poses a HUGE problem. Most gluten free goods have either tapioca and/or potato. I found a brand at our local Sobeys (I forget the brand of the bread, but it was the Italian version of it) and we were using that for communion for the last year. But recently, they just discontinued the bread. Our deacon only has another loaf in the freezer, and that's it. They're trying to make it so that there is only one loaf for communion, and not splitting it up into different kinds.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for a gluten free bread that is also tapioca free and potato free? So far, I know of a bunch of brands that are *not.* Any ideas on brands?

 

P.S. - Potato and Tapioca are the huge problem in gluten free breads, so that is why I mentioned them. But the other guy also can't have tree nuts or peanuts. So the label can't say "may contain" either for the nuts thing. :(

I make a really good communion type bread/cracker with just gluten free oat flour, olive oil, warm water and all purpose flour blend. If you could find a tapioca and potato free flour blend, that would probably work. :)

boy, that's tough!  i have, literally, 8 different brands of bread in the freezer and all of them contain tapioca starch...  :(

 

i guess you could make your own - even if you aren't much of a baker, people aren't going to make a sandwich with it, just have to eat a little bit for each person, right?  

 

(i think all my bread recipes have tap starch in them, too!   :o  )

Yeah... we have been having to make it. But I hate anyone having to rely on me for the bread. Sometimes I get behind. And then I need to deliver it to them beforehand so they can get it ready. It's a huge pain. Ugh.

Well man, I was searching for one out of products I know, and can't track one down.  Will look more tomorrow to try and hunt something down!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
