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.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
