    I've only tried two on that list, but definitely concur with Three Baker's. Everything I've tried from their line is 5 star. I have a trick with any gluten-free bun: spray both sides with cooking spray and lightly grill both sides just until golden and let cool. It makes them texture wise more like a wheat-based bun. I think the reason for this is that since gluten-free flours are "thirstier," as you bite into them they absorb more saliva, making them potentially have a drier texture and by doing this you prevent that by a light coating of cooking spray baked onto the surface. So, when you bite into it, it mitigates the potential for a dry mouth feel. At least that's what seems to be at work. I do this with all gluten-free buns including Three Baker's Hoagie Buns which are excellent as well (before making a gluten-free vegetarian hoagie) .

    This isn't really a 'taste test' it's more an ad for these companies or it's their description about their product. Put up a real comparison after really putting each of these breads to the test, not just taking their word for it. There are a couple on this list we ALL know shouldn't be that gave it away.

    The problem with your suggestion, Doug, is that not two people will agree on which are good and which are not. In my experience in recommending gluten-free sliced bread for people just starting on the gluten-free journey, what I think is the best, they hate. And what they find they like, I don't. It such an individual thing.

    But if you want my input on buns, I have not found any that I like, mostly because they fall apart when you try to handle and eat them. So, I just use my favorite gluten-free sliced bread for burgers, which is made by Franz, a west coast bakery.

    Gluten-free Baking Wiz Wins $10K in Entrepreneur Finale
    Celiac.com 01/20/2016 - The East Lansing woman's pitch for Sweet Encounter won her $11,000 dollars during the Hatching finale business pitch competition at the University Club of Michigan State University.
    Frazier's motivation for participating in the pitch was simple. Her two children suffer from seven different food allergies between them. "There's a lack of safe food options in Lansing. I made all my food from scratch so I figured other moms could benefit from this,"said Frazier, 38.
    Thompson's winnings include the $10,000 grand prize from the juried competition, which pitted 12 monthly Hatching winners against each other, along with the crowd favorite award worth $1,000 and a free one-year membership to the University Club.

    Julia Roberts Dishes Gluten-free Secrets on Instagram
    Celiac.com 12/20/2016 - Actress Julia Roberts is taking to Instagram to show off how she is learning about vegan food and gluten-free recipes.
    While many celebrities bounce from one extreme health and diet trend to the next, Roberts herself does not follow a strict diet or exercise plan. Instead, the 48-year old actress recommends a healthy balance of fitness and diet, and aims to create balance in her life.
    Roberts hits the gym for 90 minutes a day, about five days a week, doing a mix of aerobics and strength training. For more ten years, Roberts has worked with celebrity trainer Kathy Kaehler, who puts her through total body workouts including Pilates and yoga along with arm and core-centric workouts.

    Is Gluten-free Still a Smart Bet for Food Retailers?
    Celiac.com 05/09/2017 - For years, industry observers, health experts and even food companies have questioned the staying power of gluten-free food.
    With more people than ever embracing gluten-free products and gluten-free diets, including a majority of folks who do not have celiac disease, gluten-free food has never been more popular. There have also never been more gluten-free products hitting store shelves.
    Couple that with the fact that U.S. sales of gluten-free products are projected to exceed $2 billion by 2019, and the market for gluten-free products looks as solid as ever.
    But, do hidden caveats await potential investors, especially on the retail end? Maybe.

    What Happened to the Great Gluten-Free Companies of Yesterday?
    Celiac.com 11/10/2017 - Gluten-free foods are more popular than ever, and the range of choices and the availability of gluten-free products continues to expand.
    One of the more significant changes in the last few years has been the entry of major players in a market once dominated by small companies. General Mills has taken their ubiquitous Cheerios line gluten-free, and is now one of the largest manufacturers of gluten-free food in the U.S. Udi's has grown from a once small company into a gluten-free bread giant.
    Major retailers like Amazon have taken a bite out of numerous smaller businesses. The gluten-free graveyard is piled high with the bones of once great companies that gave up the ghost.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster. I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs...

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
