I really really miss buttered toast with jelly, Bread and butter, biscuits and PB & J sandwiches. Does anyone have any suggestions for any of these??

I like either Canyon Bakehouse or Udi'd for already made white bread. Both do have multigrain varities also but I grew up in the pasty white bread era. Canyon Bakehouse also makes a good cinnamon raisen bread that I like for breakfast.  I think most jellies and jams are gluten free but I use either Wegmans or Smuckers. Pamelas Baking mix makes pretty good biscuits, muffins and cookies but check and make sure there isn't any ingredients you need to avoid as it is almond flour with others and has a leavening agent. I like all these brands because they don't have soy. Although that may not be an issue for you. You may also want to check out Grainless Baker. They use tapioca flour and I think I have become addicted to their rolls. They make a french bread style bagutte (sp?) that is great for sub style sandwiches.

So did you like the breads first try or did you have to acquire a taste for them? It seems I've tried lots of gluten-free breads and none I have just been like wow that's good and worth $6 a loaf or that I can eat within 5 days if opening 🙄 i  will have to try the biscuits and the other you mentioned, thanks!

I use Fritz Gluten Free bread which is available here at Costco in 2 loaf packages. It's whole grain and tastes great.

Fratz  (west coast) has great bread. 
Canyon House bread and bagels are delicious too!  Guess it depends on tastes and textures you like.  
Chick-Fil-A  has an awesome hamburger bun too!

I think you mistyped. It’s Franz, not Fratz. It’s my favorite. Canyon House is good too but their loaf bread slices are diminuitive.

My problem with most gluten-free bread is texture. They tend to turn to glue. Could some company slice the bread thin, sort of like half thick as usual? I would love that.

I have been gluten-free for 15 years, and I still don't like a lot of the stuff they feed us. You just have to find what you can live with.

The problem with that is that gluten-free bread doesn't hold together well enough to permit thin slicing. But try Canyon House Bakery's gluten-free bread products. They are smaller and thinner than most.

Agree, Cannon House is good.  Bagels are great too!  If you live on West coast, you have some other brands that are great also.

Refrigerate both and they will last longer.  I freeze bagels and pull out the night before.

I am seeing that as I go along … some things like crackers don’t seem to ever be in my future again

Did you mean "Canyon House?" You typed "Cannon House." Or, maybe there is a Cannon House?

Canyon House Heritage Style Honey White is my favorite for a sandwich. Keep it in the freezer and defrost only the slices you need. About 15 minutes to defrost a slice on the counter or nuke it for 30 seconds if your Lithium is low and you are impatient.  Toasted the texture reminds me of rye bread.

Unfortunately, Lance is not making the gluten free originals right now due to an employee shortage.  Or at least that is what they told me.🥲 Wish Ritz would make them too!

I enjoy Glutino's crackers. They remind me of matza.

The crackers I really like, as opposed to tolerate, are the Schaar ones. The Table Crackers are like real plain crackers and the Entertainment Crackers are like slightly smaller Ritz crackers. I order them. We don't have much available here, either.

Yes I have tried those. I don’t care for the entertainment crackers other than to bake with … they taste weird to me idk why. The table crackers I use for tuna and soup but they crumble so not good for much else lol. Ordering gets expensive and it’s almost always in bulk 🤦🏼‍♀️

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ? 
    • Zuma888
      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?
    • knitty kitty
      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!
