Does anyone know of a good bread that I can use for sandwiches? I feel I've tried every brand going (perhaps I've missed someone's though) and I really miss having a sandwich. Every bread I try has this synthetic, dry taste to it like it's been sitting out for a day or two and if I try toasting it, it's just as bad. Even my dog refused to eat it! :blink:

Pitta breads are okay, I guess, but they're not bread and they're covered in this dusty layer that gets on my nerves <_<

Has anyone tried the brown breads? Seed or multigrain breads? Are they better? I've not bothered to waste my money in case they're just as bad.

Please help!

I gave up three years ago and now roll my sandwich meat, cheese, mayo, etc in corn tortillas or lettuce. Mostly I just eat other things.

Breads by Anna (www.glutenevolution.com) are very good from what I hear but you need to buy the mix and make them - in bread machine or food processor). I tasted a lot of breads from Whole Foods and none of them were good. Raisin was best but their reg. bread was like cardboard. I'm so glad I got to try if free at a gluten-free seminar so I knew not to waste my money - yuck!

I use Kinnikinnick's italian white tapicoa bread for my sandwiches. I keep it frozen, then thaw and or toast for sandwiches. They have great english muffins I use too. My dh and I like to toast them on the grill and use them for buns. Manna from Anna's is good too--nice texture.

In total agreement that Kinninick (spelling???) is really good. It works in a sandwich. I like the Italian also. It is good also grilled, toasted or as french toast. I keep mine in the refrigerator and it keeps well for some time. Energy Bread is dreadful as a sandwich, the texture is like sawdust!!!!!!!! You can get by with that toasted or grilled, though. My health food store stocks the Kinninick for me and I think now that they are selling quite a bit of it. They also have another one of theirs, something with seeds in it. Barbara

I use the Kinnickinick Italian White Tapioca Rice Bread. I keep it in the fridge and then microwave two slices on a paper towel for 35 seconds. Makes a most satisfactory sandwich. Just today I had Ham and Cheese with mustard on it, quite yumm. My daughter just ate Turkey Bologna and Cheese on it without any mayo or mustard and just ate it all. I also make awesome French Toast with it and Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Also, use it for cheese toast. Very versatile bread that is yummm. But you have to store it in the freezer until you are ready to use it on a regular basis, then keep it in the fridge. If you keep it in the fridge it just requires a quick zap in the microwave!

I buy the Sandwich Bread from Whole Foods. I keep it in the freezer and take it out as needed. Its good toasted (for BLT's :P ) or just thawed out. BTW, their Cinnamon Raisin Bread is good, also.

I have tried Gillian's French Rolls. I have found then in Farm Fresh Freezer section as they have no preservatives. Pretty good toasted with sandwich meat and cheese.

I don't like Kinnikinnick's bread, but their pizza dough is great.

i have finally found a bread that you dont have to toast or heat up. it is the food for life white rice bread. it is soft and moist and the closest thing i have found to regular bread. it does crumble apart, but it tastes so good i dont care.

kinnikinik english muffins are my second choice for bread. you do have to heat them but they taste soooo good. the health food store i buy them from cant even get them right now because the company is out of stock!! thats how good they are!

I agree that you have to heat everything, but i find the Food4LIfe stuff inedible. My new Fav is the Kinnikinick Brown Rice Bread, I never ate white bread before, feels wierd to do it now. When making a sandwich to go I throw it in the toaster oven on low, then make a sammich. It holds together, has good texture and flavor. Expensive though. The whole foods bread, while good, is a little thick and crumbly for sammiches.

I always toasted my sandwich bread before gluten-free though, so it doesn't bug me. Best is when you make the lunchmeat sammich, lunchmeat, cheese, mayo, mustard and lettuce, then toast it in the toaster oven for about a minute, then put the tomato on. mmmm. Tasty.

That way everything is warm, not just the bread, so don't get a weird difference. And everything gets all melty, kinda like quiznos, but better.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
