Gluten Free Sandwich Bread

I would consider this to be one of the biggest drags about being Celiac - bread.  I am trying to find a gluten-free bread for my son that does not need to be toasted that he can eat his peanut butter and jelly on at school that tastes most like gluten bread.  I myself have tried so many and have just given up and eat salads - but for my son that is not an option.  So I keep searching... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Costco has a brand that my son loves! I'm not sure the name, but you could inquire when there. I also like the Udi's (not to be confused with Rudi's). I try not to eat too much because even gluten free breads have a lot of added sugar is seems. I don't think the Costco one does.

Thank you so much.  Is it the Energi bread?  If so would you know if it is the brown rice or tapioca type? I also look in my Costco but can't find it.  Is it in the cold case?  Sorry for so many questions. Thanks for your help!

I like Udi's bread for sandwiches. I take PB&J almost everyday for lunch untoasted. It holds together and has a texture like white bread. They also make a multigrain variety and individual pizzas that are not too bad (In case they have 'pizza day' at at school).

About the Ener-g bread. It may have changed over the years but when I was first diagnosed it was the only bread we could find.  It did have to be toasted or zapped to hold together at all. My poor DD got it in her school lunches straight out of the package and didn't let me know for the longest time that it crumbled with the first bite. Some folks do like though so it might be worth your families trying. 

You would find Ener-g on a shelf and Schars is also shelf stable. Udi's would be in the freezer section of your store along with Grainless Baker. GB makes a nice French bread. I like it with pasta or just a big hunk of a nice cheese.

The only one I have found that doesn't fall apart is Canyon Bakehouse.  It's in the frozen section.

I love the Canyon Bakehouse 7-grain gluten-free bread. It is the only bread I've found that makes me feel like I'm eating bread.

I just made a post about this, but in case you don't see it, go to Aldi!  They just started selling fresh gluten free bread that is just amazing. No toasting, doesn't fall apart, dare I say a gluten-eater wouldn't know the difference?  I actually find it much better than the average grocery store sandwich bread.  I tried the whole grain but they also have a plain white.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
