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!

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      Question about biopsy

      By somethinglikeolivia · Posted

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?
