You're a brave woman, to handle not only the disappointment, but the defeat as well.....

I simply cannot be bothered with making the styrofoam myself......too busy cooking up other disastrous gluten-free concoctions (well not entirely disastrous but I am just feeling very taxed by all of it today and would REALLY like a Pop Tart! :angry:

What I've found that is tasty is warm up the "bread" in the microwave for a few seconds, then drown it in pure maple syrup. It's about the only way I can eat the stuff.

I've been using corn tortillas to make roll ups for lunch - I never was a sandwich eater, but I can't eat in the cafeteria at work anymore so what is a girl to do?

It's definitely not squishy white bread, but I really like Glutino flax seed bread. Toasted, it really holds together enough to do a sandwich, which is so convenient. And I like the nutty taste from the flax. I haven't tried their other breads, in part because I looked at the nutrition information for their fiber bread and it had significantly more calories for the same size slice.

To be honest, I've pretty much given up on bread. I've tried about 3 kinds of Kinnickinnik, and except for stuffing a chicken/turkey, I can't palate them. I tried the english muffins too and thought they were gross. I was pretty sure I was giving myself a heart attack too, because the margarine kept disappearing and I had to keep adding more in order to choke the stuff down. I'd probably be more willing to try other brands if it weren't so darn expensive, but really, how much can you do with rice flour and xanthan gum??? My weekly grocery budget has not changed since my Dx, since unfortunately the news "hey, you have celiac disease" did not come along with a pay increase. I have decided to stick to my memories of what bread tastes like and call it quits.

Sterk's is my favorite, but they have cornstarch :( and not all are casein free.

I'm with ChelsE. At first I really missed bread--particularly when they delivered hot rolls to a table at a restaurant and I watched my boyfriend, friends, or family members devour it, but I've tried enough breads to know that it's just not worth it for me, and I have neither the time nor the patience to invest in a breadmaker and make my own. I've found lots of ways around eating bread-- hello quesadillas, tostadas, enchiladas, corn tortilla roll-ups, etc...one package of Goya corn tortillas is less than $2.00 and can last for a month. I tried Bette Hagman's 'supposed' french bread--it was half way between a rice cake and silly putty. No thanks! I also really don't like the Food for Life bread--it crumbles even when I toast it, and it's just not that great. I kinda liked the Sundried Tomatoes Bread from Whole Paycheck, but I only got to eat half of the loaf before it started to taste like corkboard (and in Philadelphia it was $7.99). Personally, I don't like the taste of office products or children's toys, so I'm happy to give up bread for naturally gluten free foods.

Am I the only one that doesn't miss bread :huh:

I've tried some for the hell of it, but I find that I didn't really eat it anyway. I hate sandwiches! :blink:

And I'm pretty, erm, cheap :P

Five bucks for a loaf of bread I could build a house with isn't really something that helps me seperate my money from my wallet...

The first couple months I endlessly searched for good gluten free bread. It became normal to drive 45 minutes to some tiny health food store because I heard they had Sterk's which was supposed to be one of the best.

Needless to say I'm with ChelsE now. I still like my glutino bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter. Or the breadsticks at Risotteria. But other than that I've basically resigned to the fact that I am just not meant to eat bread - real or imitation.

I have tried Kinnickinik and Energy Pre-Made bread but haven't found them to be excellent. I'm looking for a white squishy bread like Wonder or Aunt Millie's potatoe bread. Has anyone tried a gluten-free bread that is outstanding? I'm very picky and would rather do without than settle. I'm also allergic to corn and soy.

A friend just gave me a loaf of Ener-G Light Tapioca - - I toasted two of them last night w/ butter and honey and they were, to me, very much like white bread fluff.....prett good, actually. (sorry if someone has already mentioned this - didn't see it on the thread)

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
