Bread Crumbs?

I have tried two gluten-free coatings - Cornmeal and Cornflake crumbs - both are "yucky" according to my 6yo.

Has anybody found a coating mixture that tastes close to regular bread crumbs?

Thanks!

I've heard that rice flour works very well for many types of things that you might use bread crumbs for. You could also try crunched up rice cereal, or making your own out of gluten-free bread.

The Gluten Free Pantry has a really good rice crumb coating. It is like a "shake and bake" type thing. I use that to make chicken and pork chops.

When I make stuffing, I make cornbread and gluten-free bread and use those for the bread crumbs for that.

If your in the "expiremental" baking mode, use your not so good attempts to make crumbs. Or for any gluten-free bread, slice it up and set your oven to the lowest temperature. Lay slices flat and let them dry out, but try not to let them color. Cut off the dark crusts and pulse the remaing pieces in your food processor till they resemble kernels of rice. You can use these in any recipe calling for bread crumbs and they keep in the freezer for months.

I buy this millet bread from my health food store. It comes from Deland's bakery in florida. It's not a yeast bread, and there's no xanthan gum in it, so when it is toasted, it crumbles very nicely. Anyway, I toast it up, and crush it in a plastic ziploc bag. Then I like to add garlic powder, salt, a pinch of sugar, and italian seasoning and my family can't tell that it isnt progresso italian bread crumbs.

We did not like the taste of Gillians bread crums, we feel that Hol Grain are the best.

We've tried a couple of types - have liked EnerG brand the best. Have made chicken cutlets with them, couldn't tell the difference between them and regular bread crumbs. Also, I've put them in meat loaf/balls and they both came out fine.

Even before I suspected that I was gluten intolerant I sometimes used crushed Crisped Rice cereal for bread crumbs, although now that I think of it you should probably make sure that it doesn't have malt flavor added if you use it. I just put some in a plastic freezer bag and roll a glass over it to pulverize it. I use this for making meatloaf too!

I thought Panko was not gluten free? I'd check the label. Kim.

Panko is a Japanese bread crumb that is NOT gluten free. It looks like rice but is made with a light wheat bread, so stay away from it for your own health.

I have found that seasoned General Mills Rice Chex are a great breading for everything that I have breaded or topped with breadcrumbs. Plus they tend to be less expensive than purchasing a traditional gluten free bread crumb. I empty the box into my food processor and then mix in some spice. Delicious!

I just save the "heels" from the Pamela's bread I make and grind 'em up for fresh bread crumbs or toast 'em for toasted crumbs.

I'd kill for some gluten-free Panko... but know the general Panko available is NOT gluten-free.

similar to what justmel74 above, I make my own. I use Kinnickinnick white bread, "toaste" in the oven at a moderate heat (about 300) as I do like the slices to be lightly browned. I did cut off the darker parts of the crust, tore the slices into pieces and used my blender to pulverize them (don't have a food processor yet). Added some basil and a little oregano - and they came out tasting just like Progresso too!

I use Southern Homestyle Corn Flake Crumbs. They work pretty well.

I use Shabtai Gourmet's Pread Crumbs (Potato Starch-based Bread Crumb substitute). They work great in meatballs, meatloaf or even to coat chicken for frying.

I mostly use a combo of Chex rice and corn cereals, but if I have a few Chebe rolls left over or a square of cornbread, that gets thrown in as well. If I feel like making them "Progresso" style I just leave out any corn crumbs and add dried Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, s&p and nutritional yeast to taste. Toasting in the oven for a few minutes really intensifies the flavor and makes the whole house smell crazy delicious!

For chicken tenders we like plain mashed potato flakes mixed with parmesan cheese, paprika, salt and pepper. I fry them in a mix of olive and canola oil but haven't tried to bake them.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
