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!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
