I am new to eating Gluten Free, how do I choose between buying fresh bread and packet mixes? I would love to know how others manage this as I don't want to waste it. Thank you

When I had more than just myself eating gluten free I used a dedicated bread maker or made quick loaves. Now that it is just me I buy a bread that is frozen (Canyon Bakehouse or Grainless Baker) and I can either thaw the whole loaf or just what I need.  There are some breads that are shelf stable like Schar that are pretty good also. Schar also makes the closest to a saltine cracker that comes with multi packages that are nice as I don't end up with half a package going stale.

>.> They say to avoid bread for awhile til you forget the taste/texture of gluten bread.

I started off buying some from the store...hated them (this was 6 years ago and they all tasted like dry cardboard), started making my own after that. TONS of issues and mistakes before I learned of my other foods issues. (I reacted to yeast in yeast breads, xantham gum, oats, became allergic to corn and dairy and issues with carbs, but everyone is different) I eventually fell to Julian Bakery grain free breads then started making my own.....I still do and even sell them at farmers markets.

I am in the US.  I know in Europe Schar has some really hearty breads with seeds in them I love.  But in the US. I think Canyon Bakehouse is about the best.  And the least amount of junk.  I love the bread a local bakery makes ( more expensive but nice to support local and its different).  I put a small piece of parchment paper between every 2 slices and put the whole loaf in the freezer in a freezer zip lock. Then, depending on the bread, I lightly toast or let thaw and microwave briefly or toast the heck out of it ( if I want toast).  A trick with a lot of gluten-free bread is to briefly heat it , even if “ fresh” . A few seconds in a microwave or a warm up in a toaster or oven.  This helps the oils soften and makes the bread less crumbly

 

other brands people really seem to like - Julian & Franz

      The inactive ingredients list you provided includes pregelatinized starch, which can sometimes be derived from wheat, meaning it may contain gluten. It's best to call them to verify this. https://www.pepcid.com/our-products/max-strength-pepcid-ac-cool-mint

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! This might be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/27-gluten-free-recipes-cooking-tips/ Also, just "google" for the gluten free version of something you like and want to try. For instance, google "gluten free recipe for meatloaf" or "gluten free recipe for tuna casserole".  There are also gluten free cookbooks available. There are a bunch of them offered on Amazon. The most important thing is to get a good handle on what gluten is and where and how it is hidden in food products. Many things you already eat are naturally gluten free but many things you would never expect to find gluten in will have it. For examples of the latter, Campbell's tomato soup and most soy sauces. Many canned soups contain gluten because wheat flour is used as a thickener and a texturing agent. You must get in the habit of reading ingredient labels, especially the allergen section.

      Hi, is Pepsid safe for those with celiac? If not ( and I belive it is not gluten-free) what are other alternatives? I was not able to find anything but gluten-free tums in CVS. But I really need famotidine. Thank you
