You could try Chebe bread. Most gluten-free bread just doesn't do it for me. If you toast it or grill it you can barely tell the difference.

If you are up for baking with a mix, the Gluten-Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread is very good and reminds me of my Grandmother's homemade bread.

when you use the mix, do you use a bread machine? I've never made bread myself before. I've only been gluten free for 2 weeks and am REALLY missing my bread!

I do use a bread machine, but you don't have to. I bought a bread machine soon after I went gluten-free b/c it was just easier for me. There are plenty of people here that have posted about this bread that don't use a bread machine.

Good luck! :)

I use The Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix. I mix it up in my Kitchenaid, and bake it in a loaf pan in the oven. It is really good! I slice it after it cools, and then keep it wrapped in the fridge.

I just wanted to reiterate the "toast the bread" advice. My daughter (now 16 yrs. old) has been on a gluten-free diet (Celiac Disease) for 4 years now and we've tried nearly every gluten-free bread made. Her favorite is Kinnikinnick BROWN sandwich bread. (Their White sandwich bread is her 2nd choice.) Whatever gluten-free bread she eats she says that they all taste MUCH better toasted. She loves pizza too (what teenager doesn't?) and her favorite is Kinnik's pizza crust. I've tried it and it is very good. We have a local owned Italian restaurant that will fix her a real "Pizza Oven" baked gluten-free pizza if we bring the crust; needless to say, it's her favorite restaurant! They've been well educated about gluten-free and risks of cross contamination over the past 4 years and are very careful about keeping her pizza gluten-free.

Best Wishes!

If you can find a Whole Foods Store, their sandwich bread is great. Also their cinnamon raisen bread. These are the best I have tasted yet. I like a sandwich now and then and don't want to have to toast the bread all the time and you sure don't have to with this sandwich bread. Barbara

I was dx'd this year with DH and I really miss good bread. I have tried Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful gluten-free Bread Mix. I mix it in my Kitchenaid and bake in loaf pan and I find that I do like the flavor and texture. To me, the problem with most gluten-free breads is the texture (because of the rice flours) but Bob's bread texture is okay. I want burger buns and cannot find muffin rings to make my own. Any suggestions of good pre-baked buns? :rolleyes:

Hi and welcome! :)

Another good bread--The Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix. I also mix it up in my Kitchenaid, and bake it in a loaf pan in the oven. The absolute best gluten-free hamburger buns I've had are fron Grandma Ferndons. The only drawback is the high shipping fees. (it's like $20!) I really don't buy enough from them to justify it normally. I will probably break down one of these days, though, and place another order! :ph34r:

I really like glutino corn bread. It's the best of the gluten free bread i've tried yet.

I agreet though that if you toast your bread it's much better, whatever the kind you choose.

You know, I had seen that recipe and it looks good. What's a good replacement for the pecan flour? I'm allergic to them. Would almond flour work?

Try using aluminum foil with your bread mix in the oven. That should enable you to make hamburger or hotdog buns in any shape or length without buying a special pan.

Yes you can use your favorite nut flour here. I use Pecan, but almond is my other main staple in baking. Sometimes hazlenut (although I think it has a stronger flavor) and same goes for Brazil nuts...stronger flavor!

Almond should work well. This loaf turns out really yummy and lovely looking, but it is a bit tricky to cut. I find it works well to cool it in the fridge before cutting (but usually we eat half the loaf when it's fresh and warm....then it just sits around ! We're not huge bread eaters, but who can resist fresh baked bread?)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
