Better Batter and Suggestions on store bought bread

First, I want to thank everyone who has posted information on this site. I was diagnosed with Celiac about 3 months ago. I find this page an indispensable source.

Over these first three months of adhering to a strict gluten free diet, I have now had the opportunity to experiment with a number of products and cooking methods.  Some were disasters....like trying to make dumplings with coconut flour.  Instead of dumpling soup, I ended up with something closer to oatmeal. Tasty, but I do not recommend coconut flour for dumplings or spaetzle.

One product that I found is both consistently safe to eat and good to cook with are two products from Better Batter. (Open Original Shared Link

So far, I have used its Gluten Free Flour and the Chocolate Cake Mix. I am not an expert at baking, but used the mix to make cupcakes.  I was amazed that they rivaled the flourless cake at Capital Grill for a fraction of the cost.  I have had no issues after eating meals in which I used either product.

So far, the Schar Multigrain Bread is the best store bought bread I have found. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions on good bread and buns.

Canyon Bakehouse multigrain bread is the best bread I have tasted. No difference as far as I'm concerned. Canyon bakehouse also has bagels that are very good. Their bread definitely has the texture and feel of real bread. They have a fake rye bread that does a pretty good job for replacing rye bread.

Hi Rob!

I love Better Batter!  I use it for all of my baking needs unless a recipe calls for gum free flour.  This weekend I made soft pretzels with it and they were great!  Glutenfreeonashoestring is a great recipe source for gluten free baking.  That is where I first heard about Better Batter.

Canyon Bakehouse bagels I am obsessed with...seriously.  Bread is tricky.  Most of the gluten free breads toasted are fine, but my family has been very picky about an untoasted bread for packed lunches.  Their favorite so far is the Vegan Oat bread from Outside the Breadbox.  I've never even tried it as I can't do oats.  Their hamburger buns are good as well.  We've also tried 3 Bakers buns which everyone liked.  No one liked the Udis buns and there was a definite split on the Canyon Bakehouse buns.

Hope that helps!

I personally use nut, bean, and oat based flours, I can not do starches very well and have a corn allergy. I will PM you a few recipe pages.  Currently working on a few paleo recipes for my bakery, I been sharing food alternatives here https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/117090-gluten-free-food-alternatives-list/ 

Feel free to add links and info on some of your favorites to that list and comment on what you like to help with others, I keep sharing that page to help people find products, flours, etc and make the gluten-free life easier.

Thank you icelandgirl for the recommendation on Canyon Bakehouse products.  While I like the bread a lot, I cannot say the same for the business ethics of the company as it relates to getting your private contact information.

What?  Are you trying to day that's if I buy their products, Whole Foods or Target gives them info about me?  Otherwise, I don't see how they would know who buys the bread.  If you ordered it directly from them, I guess they would need some info to get it to your house and get it paid for?

I tried to get a coupon.

To do so, the company gives you a selection to provide your name and email or mobile number. Fair enough. However, once you provide your name and email, it takes you to a page that requires you to provide your mobile number to get the coupon.  Why does it give you a choice if no choice exists? Why does it tell you only after you submit your information.

I dont know..  THe owners are very nice people.  Maybe you could email them and explain the problem?  Sounds like the system isn't working quite right. It doesn't sound like they are using your information for nefarious reasons.  Lol

I did contact it and have not heard back, other than the automatic reply.  It is entirely possible that Oakhouse does not know. If not, shame on it. 

It appears Oakhouse has contacted with a third party to manage its customer list. Anytime a third party is involved, especially google and apple through its app stores, the likelihood is that that party derives a financial gain from the information it collects, often through reselling it.  This would likely explain why Oakhouse is indifferent as to receiving a customer's email or phone number, but its third party service provider demands your mobile number. Ultimately, however, it is the Company's responsibility to know what it is doing with the information it collects.

I am sorry.  I thought you were referring to Canyon Bakehouse.   I have never heard of Oakhouse.

I'm sorry if you've had trouble.  I ordered a case of bagels directly from Canyon as my store kept running out....never had any issues.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
