I live in Rhode Island so I’ve been having a problem with the bread issue too . I just bought a gluten-free white sliced bread not bad it’s pretty good big slices compared to others it’s called Live F

I like Canyon Bakehouse - Ancient Grain is my favorite.  Most gluten free bread tastes like yeast too much for me, but this one doesn't.  You can order it online.

Schar, Artisan Baker 10 Grain & Seed Bread is my favorite bread.  It is great for sandwiches, toast, french toast, grilled cheese.  It is the best one that I have found in my search!

I will certainly give this one a try.  Certainly more War&Peace than standard recipe but if its remotely accurate...tasty! Thank you Scott!

Dear friends, I need your help. I have tried every bread I can find (admittedly limited, as I live in the wilds of Mississippi). Each one seems like it will be okay, then I make a sandwich and it turns into glue in my mouth at first bite. What breads have you found to be at least acceptable, if not actually good? Bread is my ONLY problem. I am a good cook and I have been able to convert almost all our favorite foods to gluten-free. Bread is the only problem. 

Bread is the thing I was going to miss and so figured it out quickly. All the brands mentioned here were too dry, crumbly and just plain expensive. I finally found Sam's Gluten Free breads at Walmart. These are denser than gluten bread but hold up to a sandwich without falling apart. If they are getting a little stale, pop it in the toaster and it softens up.  It is also less expensive than the brands listed.  It is what I use in a pinch if I do not have time to make bread.

Franz is not dry and crumbly. It is denser than gluten bread and expensive, however, unless, as Scott pointed out, you get the Costco twin pack. But if you don't live in the west you may not have access to it.

I paid almost $9 for a loaf of Canyon Bakehouse last week (because I wasn't paying attention). It's good but not that good. I'm tired of being gouged. I understand that it needs to cost more than wheat bread, but that's ridiculous.

I've been buying Kroger's house brand multi-grain for as long as they've been offering it. It's acceptable for sandwiches and costs less than the specialty brands. It has been unavailable for a few weeks now, presumably to try and fix the propensity for molding (I've returned a few loafs). 

I'm about ready to start making my own bread due to cost, quality, and availablity. There was a little bake shop in my town that made gluten-free bread, but they quit making it, probably just not enough demand. It was far better and less expensive that any I've ever bought in the grocery stores. I need to find an authoritative source for a recipe and possibly a bread maker.

I had my first Canyon Bakehouse last week..bought bagels…they were eh..so far Trader Joe’s has the best bagels!

My bread options are not endless. My go-to was Canyon, but their price is now about $1.50 more than Udi's, so now I have to eat Udi's.

But - has anyone checked out the size of their pieces of bread lately? Man, are they getting stingier.

We may need a law passed to restrict the minimum size of sliced bread!

Speaking of laws, at one time there was a movement afoot to get Celiac people covered under the ADA law. Did anything ever come of that?

I just had to get FMLA for work and my HR person also sent the ADA paperwork so I’m thinking it must be listed on there now!

I like Schar multigrain bread.  It's also expensive, but more bread-like.  I've found it to be least expensive at Walmart.  Another brand I like is Three Bakers, which I find in the freezer at Albertson's / Von's.

Making your own bread is a better option for me. I have several ones I make but my favorite and frequently used is Scott Adams soft white bread. I do however use 1/2 brown rice flour and 1/2 white rice flour. I use this for bread, hamberger buns and pizza dough. Vitacost has super fine flours and amazon has decent priced yeast and milk powder.If you never made home made it will take some practice

I can't access the article, Plumbago, without taking out a subscription. Have you seen the pizza commercial about this with Shaquil O'Neil and "Shaqflation"?

I have recently discovered Dr Scharr,s deli style sour dough bread. I love it. My problem all along has not been taste (many taste very good) but texture. As soon as it hit my mouth it turned to glue. Dr Scharr's has a texture very close to regular bread. It is a bit expensive, so I limit my sandwiches. With new crop tomatoes coming is, I am loving it!!!!

Little Northern Bakehouse is great...they are also a site sponsor.

 

I just arrived Canada and find this product in grocery store. It tastes very good, but the price is still expensive for students. My roommate can't believe that one would cost so much to buy a bag of bread.

I’m the same about bread . I live in Rhode Island I’ve found white gluten-free bread at Aldi’s grocery store big slices and pretty good . And like you a lot of breads are pricey .

This one I have always liked as wel. My complaint with all gluten free breads aside from taste, texture and cost , is the once opened you have like 5 days to use it. Also the gluten free diet has skyrocketed me into full blown diabetes, which isn’t well controlled and my diabetes does not like gluten free anything , spikes my sugar terribly 😔

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
