Gluten Free, Tapioca Free, And Potato Free

Our church has a dilemma. My husband has Celiac Disease, and there is another guy there that is allergic to the cassava plant (tapioca) and potato. He is trying to eat gluten free too, anyway. But that poses a HUGE problem. Most gluten free goods have either tapioca and/or potato. I found a brand at our local Sobeys (I forget the brand of the bread, but it was the Italian version of it) and we were using that for communion for the last year. But recently, they just discontinued the bread. Our deacon only has another loaf in the freezer, and that's it. They're trying to make it so that there is only one loaf for communion, and not splitting it up into different kinds.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for a gluten free bread that is also tapioca free and potato free? So far, I know of a bunch of brands that are *not.* Any ideas on brands?

 

P.S. - Potato and Tapioca are the huge problem in gluten free breads, so that is why I mentioned them. But the other guy also can't have tree nuts or peanuts. So the label can't say "may contain" either for the nuts thing. :(

I make a really good communion type bread/cracker with just gluten free oat flour, olive oil, warm water and all purpose flour blend. If you could find a tapioca and potato free flour blend, that would probably work. :)

boy, that's tough!  i have, literally, 8 different brands of bread in the freezer and all of them contain tapioca starch...  :(

 

i guess you could make your own - even if you aren't much of a baker, people aren't going to make a sandwich with it, just have to eat a little bit for each person, right?  

 

(i think all my bread recipes have tap starch in them, too!   :o  )

Yeah... we have been having to make it. But I hate anyone having to rely on me for the bread. Sometimes I get behind. And then I need to deliver it to them beforehand so they can get it ready. It's a huge pain. Ugh.

Well man, I was searching for one out of products I know, and can't track one down.  Will look more tomorrow to try and hunt something down!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
