Solution To Dry Bread


Guest mvaught

The gluten-free bread bought from the store, I buy rice bread, (in the refrigerated section) is always soooo dry. I've seemed to find a solution for that - super easy. I just put a little water in a bowl and sort of prop the peice of bread on the rim of the bowl so that it hovers over the water - pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds at least (sometimes it takes longer/shorter depending on the microwave) and voila - much more tolerabe bread..nice and fluffy!

That is a really good idea! Thanks :) Some of those gluten free breads can be really dry.

I put a slice (or 2) in a small zip close plastic bag and nuke in the microwave for a few seconds, 10 to 15 seconds depending on the number of slices, thickness and if it's been frozen or not. All microwaves are a little different so you have to get used to your own model. I do this with ALL gluten-free baked goods.....homemade or commercial. Since bread is about 30% water there is no need to add any. I even do this if I'm packing a sandwich to go. I freshen the bread, make the sandwich, then wrap tightly in plastic cling wrap to stay fresh tasting. I'm never disappointed.

i used to work in a metabolic research lab and nuking plastic bags/wrap with your food means plastic reisdue in your food - so that method is not for me, thanks. i still like my water method - naturally if there is no water (and no bag to catch the water), the bread's water is evaported out of it during the nuke - this way it is added back. veggies are full of water and i still steam them.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
