Anyone Else Have Trouble With gluten-free Breads?

I was terrified too, of getting a colonoscopy. I told my doctor to mske sure I was completely out, not just mildly sedated. As soon as I woke up I got the heck out of there! Now that it's over, it doesn't seem that dramatic, but beforehand I thought I was going to die from nerves and well, yes, embarrassment. So, you'll survive - it wont be that bad.

In regards to the bread - everyone here has a good point - it could be any one of the ingredients causing the issue. I am sensitive to fructose, so too much of that in a bread can give me DH, and I'm allergic to dairy and eggs and soy, so I have to find breads without those ingredients. I know there are some mixes out there made of fava, garbanzo bean, and/or mesquite flour - you may have to do some searching, but those might be alternatives.

I have had problems with brown rice breads, with fruit juice. I can't remember the name of it. I ate some yesterday and it burned my throat. Kind of a wierd experience.

My fave so far is the 4-flour bread in Bette Hagman's The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread, using the sesame variation & replacing all sugar with molasses. It isn't all sorghum, just one of the ingredients, but it seems to make a big difference.

I looked at this recipe and it has tapioca flour in it. In fact ALL of Bette's recipes for bread do that I have ever seen. Does anyone know of a good replacement for tapioca?

Sorry, I'd forgotten that this thread was supposed to be tapioca-free too. I'm not sure about the tapioca substitute, but I did find this sorghum bread with no tapioca. Haven't tried it myself but you might want to give it a go. Meanwhile I'll do some research on the tapioca.

I use cornstarch to replace the tapioca starch in flour blends, and so far it works just fine :)

Annalise Roberts reccommended to use arrowroot starch in place of tapioca.

I knew I remembered seeing a substitute somewhere, but couldn't remember what it was! Thanks, Chelsea!

That's funny, I was just mixing up the four flour blend yesterday - using arrowroot instead of cornstarch. So if I was sensitive to tapioca, then I'd be using a lot of arrowroot! I thought the arrowroot was interesting, has a scent to it which I've never noticed before as I've only used small amounts of it in recipes. I'm looking forward to making bread with this mix - I haven't had a good gluten free bread since Manna from Anna which I had to stop eating because of the corn (yeah, there are corn-free versions, too, but they have potato, which I can't have).

The only time I miss bread is also the hamburger/hot dog thing. My favorite bread product is Whole Foods pizza crusts - I don't think they have tapioca in them, but I could be wrong. Hard to believe I found something with no corn or potato! Mmmmmm....

Thanks for the suggestion.

I was so bummed, I was really excited to make Bette's egg noodles for some comfort food-chicken noodle soup, and bought ALL the flours ($23 worth), then found out I could eat the tapioca :(

Hi:

I've been wanting to post my experiences here with Whole Foods Bread and Pizza Crust products. They taste fantastic, but every time I ate them I got D immediately after--not a major gluten reaction but very annoying nonetheless.

I wrote to Whole Foods and told them how disappointed I was with their product--that they must have some gluten in these products somewhere because I am not sensitive to anything on the label. They sent me a very thoughtful reply and I think the information is something everyone here should know. Apparently the US standard for "gluten-free" is 5 parts per million gluten and that the Whole Foods products adhere to this standard. In Canada it is zero parts per million. They suggested to me that I am perhaps very sensitive to gluten, thus reacting to the "5 parts per million". They also tried to suggest that it is something else within the bread. I don't think so because I make my own bread using most of the ingredients listed and have never had a reaction to the home-baked bread.

Thanks for that info cjjolly. I suspect that is the case with me as well. Some products immediately give me a reaction and other products with the same ingredients, no problems. Maybe it is the difference in

government allowances. I wish it were internationally standardized.

yes, I cannot eat any of that stuff. It gives me a stomach ache & from there the symptoms are varied and last from a day or two to a week. So it was not hard to not eat them. I think all those grains are cross contaminated.

If I really want something like a banana bread I make it using almond flour.

That sounds yummy, do you have a recipe?

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?

      Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.

      I'm 63  Thank you for the article. I have worked with Dietitian at Mayo and also had breath testing done. They felt I was following a strict gluten-free diet along with eliminating sugar alcohol and chicory root. Also don't eat a lot meat, eggs and peppers. Because I get so sick I use only gluten-free products for my skin food medicine my pet food is gluten-free and I live alone so all my cooking stuff is all brand new prior to being diagnosed.  I buy only organic certified gluten free products and if not sure  look up or just don't eat or use. The Dermatologist at Mayo gave me a list of gluten-free products that I can use. ( personal products,  laundry detergent, I use vinegar and baking soda for cleaning ) . I ask family and friends to not bring  anything  in to my home that has gluten in it. I have tried  everything and my numbers still off the charts.   So as for the pneumonia vaccine I question if it has anything in it that will react negative in me?

      Dawn, yes, once the genes that give the potential for the development of celiac disease are "turned on" so to speak, they will be on for the rest of your life. It is not something that is cured or comes and goes but something that must be managed. Eliminating major sources of gluten from one's diet is pretty straight forward but many don't realize the multitude of places and ways gluten is hidden in the food supply and sneaks its way into our eats. So, eating "lower gluten' is easy but attaining a consistently and truly gluten free state is much harder and requires diligence. I am linking this article that might be of help to you in that regard:
