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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
