What's Your Favorite Brand Of....

So far I have found some things I really like a lot but I still haven't found/tried several things I need.

I heard Progresso cream of mush. soup is gluten free but I haven't called them to verify so I haven't tried it. I know EnerG makes one soup but it cost an arm and a leg. I don't really like the EnerG tapioca bread so I'm getting the reg. sandwich bread tomorrow as I have a tea party to attend and need to take my own food. Does anyone know what the difference in taste is for the EnerG tap. loaf and reg. sandwich loaf is?

I heard Glutano's has some fantastic gluten free pizza....has anyone here tried it yet? I heard that kinickkinick had the best hamburger buns....I didn't like them either and husband thought they tasted like foam (too spongy). Is there something we can do so they taste better? We toasted them in the oven after they thawed out in the fridge. Cereal....tried four types now...still don't have one I like. Ehwron gluten-free rice brand is the best so far but I'm not crazy about it. I used to eat cereal five times a week...so this is a tough one for me.

For those of you who haven't tried the following I highly recommend them:

kinickkinick brownies (pre made)

EnerG Sesame pretzels

Nature's Path frozen waffles

Pamela's pancake mix

123 Gluten free pan bar and muffin mixes

Larabars (apple pie and pecan pie)

Thanks in advance if anyone can share their favorite brands of a few things.

Tiffany--We really liked the Gluten Free Pantry Pancake Mix. Actually, all of the things I've tried from them, I've liked. And, I know what you mean about the Lara Pecan Pie bars--they are my new favorite thing. The hamburger buns I liked the very best were from Grandma Ferndons. They were so good--the only thing is the shipping is like 20.00!

kinickkinick has the best mix for pancakes, they are way better then the ones i ate before my DX

We love the Gluten Free Pantry pancake mix too. My kids that can have gluten fight over them. I havent' found a bread that makes me really do backflips. I kinda liked the Gluten Free Pantry Fav. Sandwich Bread Mix. It is a bit heavy but tastes good. I like it more like a cinn. bread I think. We weren't impressed with Energ Tap. bread either. Oh well, live and learn. My kids all fight over Enjoy LIfe products too like their cookies. And I like the Glutino Crakers. Almost like a Ritz. Not bad at all. And we all like Energ Pretzels.

The gluten-free age group in this house is slightly young so if you want a list of cookies, cereal and snacks that make a kid happy....let me know. ;) I am guessing you are looking for a slightly more "adult" taste!! LOL!

I can't wait to hear about the hotdog/hamburger buns. We haven't bought those yet.

Nature's Path Cornflakes. I got them in a big plastic bag with a green and black label. I'm sure it's Nature's Path or maybe Nature Valley. I haven't bought them in a while, because my son is sticking to Puffed Rice rice now. I'd say the Nature's Path are better than Kellogg's, and NOT just because they're gluten-free.

I did not care for the Ener-G bread (not sure which kind), but I remember thinking it was styrofoam with a label on it :P

I *love* kinickkinick bread, Celaic Specialties is good too, and Glutino shortbread cookies are yummy. Yesterday I was at Trader Joe's and got the Truffle Bites (frozen desert section) a flourless chocolate cake bitesize yummy.... FABULOUS!!

Wow thanks for all the info everyone...haven't heard of about several of these so I'll look for them. As of three hours ago I'm not the only Celiac in my family. My mother has it too...but her doc put her on a very restrictive diet to start as she's pretty sick. Her doc is a pcp and admits to knowing little about Celiac so she's been reading up on it (yea!). Is it common for people to be told to start off on a really bland, natural foods diet at first if their bloodwork is pretty bad and they have the more severe GI symptoms? I didn't have those so I was just told not to eat gluten and that was all. I'll post this elsewhere...it's really getting off my own topic.

Tiffany--Good that your mom got an answer and can now begin to heal. You will be a big help to her. The day of my biopsy, the doctor told me to begin the gluten free/dairy free diet that day. He didn't mention any other restrictions.

Food for life's China Black rice bread is yummy. They also make awesome brown rice wraps.

Kinnikinnick Brown Rice Bread was my favorite but then Wild Oats in Memphis stopped carrying it. Gluten Free Pantry sandwich bread mix was my new favorite bread. As of yesterday, I have a new favorite, Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread mix. Yummy, yummy, really yummy.

Oh I didn't know about Pamela's bread mix. I made the Breads from Anna bread but it's too heavy/hard to slice for tea sandwiches I have to make this weekend. I'll get something frozen for them...kinikkinnik seems very popular. Then I'll make Pamela's bread next time I bake.

Has anyone tried the frozen Glutano pizza crusts and if so are they good? I found them locally but had never heard of them before. The store clerk said they and the Kinnikinnik brand of pizza crusts sell about the same.

Also, can anyone offer tips for keeping my tea sandwiches as fresh as possible before eating them? I have to make the sandwiches Sat. morning and go to the party at 3 pm. They will be kept in the fridge and should be served cold (I'm the only one eating these). So are there any tricks that I should know in order to keep them from being stale tasting since.....I don't know how I'd heat them up since that would ruin the stuff that's inside the sandwiches. Thoughts anyone?

Kinnikkinik bagels, toasted - YUM! Tastes real close to the real thing!

For those of you who need a canned cream of mushroom soup Progresso has a gluten free version...well it's their reg. soup but it's gluten free. Also, they are owned by Betty Crocker and they say that if any of their products have gluten it will be listed clearly as wheat, rye, barley or oats. Green bean casserole here I come....well as soon as I figure out which gluten-free crackers to use in place of fried onions. B)

I just found the Glutino mac-n-cheese and duo cheese pizza. The mac-n-cheese doesn't look great, but my kids prefer it to Amy's- after just one bite. The pizza is 6.2 ounces, and should be eaten immediately, it has been the best frozen complete pizza we have tried.

Amy's whole meal cheese enchilada is our favorite frozen meal.

My favorite bread is the french loaf recipe from Gluten-free gourmet cooks fast and healthy and it is fat free, eat immediately, do not wait for it to cool.

Chebe bread mixes have been great and I think I like it better after it has been frozen and thawed.

Laura - where did you find the Glutino whole pizza and is it a rice crust? And do you need a bread machine for the Gluten Free Gourmet bread mix? I unlike others, am not crazy about Breads from Anna bread. I don't have a bread machine but most say it would take the same in the oven or bread machine. I just found out about the Williams and Sonoma bread machine with the gluten free setting so I may have to treat myself (it's $100).

I like the Celi Mix pancake mix, the Kinnickinnik bagels and rice/tapioca cheese bread.

use funyuns (sp?)...the junk food onion flavored things...those are gluten free and will give you the crunch and the onion flavor :D

Thanks Angie! What a great idea....would never have thought of it.

I ordered the Glutino pizza from the united buying clubs co-op. They put the new products on sale. They are 25% off this month, 6 packages for 20.39 or 3.40 per box. (sorry someone spilled coffee on the keyboard and the dollar sign won't work)

I used a plain kitchen aid mixer for the bread dough - because it is more like a thick cake batter consistency. The baking temp. gets changed during baking so I think a bread machine would not work at all.

Laura

Here is the ingredient label....

Mozzarella-brick cheese blend(pasteurized milk, cheese cluture, bacterial culture, salt, calcium chloride, microbial enzyme, cellulose), water, corn starch, tapioca starch, green peppers, tomatoes [tomato paste, tomato in juice ( tomatoes, tomato juice, calcium chloride, citric acid)], safflower oil, evaporated cane juice, onions, dried egg whites, salt, guar gum, yeast, glucono-delta-lactone, canola oil, modified corn starch, sugar, pectin, sodium bicarbonate, parmesan cheese (pasteurized milk, cheese culture, bacterial culture, salt, rennet, lipase, calcium chloride, cellulose, sorbic acid), sodium alginate, modified cellulose, spices, garlic.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.
    • Scott Adams
      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.
