Low Fat Gluten Free Breads?

Hi Everyone,

 

I am wondering if anyone knows of any low fat gluten free pre-made breads or rolls?

My husband is willing to eat gluten free at home and likes to have bread with most meals. He is on a very low fat diet for health reasons, and I am having a hard time finding low fat gluten free breads or rolls for him. I am looking for breads under 1.5 grams of fat per serving of 2 slices, or per roll. Are there any low fat eaters out there who know of any very low fat bread products? I am surprised to find out that gluten free breads have so much more fat in them then gluten filled breads. I would really love to get those gluten filled bread crumbs out of the house for good though.

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the tip on Anna's Breads mamaw!

It looks like her original mix is fat free, I would just have to find a low fat substitute for oil and use egg beaters when I make it. I hadn't thought about making a mix - I'm not much of a baker as of yet, but could learn. I was kind of hoping for a quick fix, like something pre-made and frozen. It would be worth the extra work to get the gluten filled bread out of my house if I have to make the gluten free bread myself though. I could probably get myself a new bread maker out of this deal too :). Who knows, it could be fun to start baking breads.

Anna's  breads  can be made in a bread  machine  or  a pan.... We & even the kids  love  the  bread.... it  is not  hard  at  all... I  reduce  the  water  by  2-3  TBSP  &  it  doesn't   sink in the top  then.....

Her  banana  bread  & pumpkin bread  are  very good  as well....

If  you buy a bread  machine  make  sure  it has  a  heavy duty  motor... I  have  a  Zo...  & love  it  but  many have  the  breadmaker  one  & like it  too....

When  you make  homemade  bread  I  bake  , slice  & then freeze  putting  a piece  of  wax  paper between each slice  so  we  can take out  1 slice  or  several  & not  waste  the rest..

If  you check  out  the  Living  Without  site  they have  many bread recipes  that are  good... I just  make & eat it  & don't  look  at  carbs,  & such  ....

I'm not  sure  who  would  have  ready made  low  fat  bread.....

Thanks Mamaw!

I will look in to both of those pre-made breads for him, but I am really interested in baking my own now. The breads you mentioned sound really yummy and the husband really perked up when I mentioned I might bake him some bread.

Can you tell me more about your maker? I looked up Zo, and the brand Zojirushi came up. Is that the one you have? There are a few models on amazon right now. Do you know what model you have? Sorry for all of the questions, but they seem like a bit of an investment, so just I want to make sure I order the right thing.

Thanks again

Hi  ,  yes  that's  the  best  bread maker  in my  book..... I've  had  mine  for  years  & it is still  working.... many of the  less  expensive  brands  don't  hold up to the  gluten-free   dough  & the motor  burns  out.  So I  figured I'd  buy the Zo  &  not  need to  worry.....you  get  what  you pay for.....There are  at  least  two  newer  models  than  mine ... I like  the one  that  makes  the  regular loaf of  bread......

I love  to bake  & cook  but  for many  they  hate  it..... it is  time  consuming &  one  needs  lots  of  pre-planning  with the  gluten-free  lifestyle to keep  everything  moving  as planned... But the  rewards  are  terrific...

Thanks Mamaw!

I will be purchasing one of these soon. It sound like they are worth it in the long run. I don't hate to bake and cook, but honestly never have much. It could be a nice hobby to take up now that I am over 40 and life is slowing down a bit.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      By Russ H · Posted

      Do you have the standard range for the test results you received? A level of anti-tTG2 antibodies at least 10x the standard range is almost certainly (>98%) due to coeliac disease. Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.
