I know I have mentioned this bread before, but I really think it's worth mentioning again.

I just had a pastrami sandwich on mock rye bread and it was the most incredible sandwich ever!! I didn't even have to toast the bread. I got the bread at the Gluten Free Bread Basket in Chester, NY (I know they definately ship).

You seriously won't be able to believe you are eating gluten free bread. I'm not sure if I can possibly describe how good this bread is. I also tried their country sandwich bread... equally as good.

My dad actually went there today and got me a ton of stuff (the breads, muffins, cake, croutons and hot dog buns). I'll report back as I try things.

I just got my shipment today from the gluten-free Bread Basket!! Last time I got the Country Sandwich (White) and this time I got the Mock Rye, Cinnamon Raision and the white.

They are EXCELLENT!!

They taste like real bread - even more so if toasted.

The Rye even SMELLS like rye bread (I think the smell we associate with Rye is the Caraway Seeds and this bread has Caraway in it).

The Cinnamon Raisin is yummy and smells great. They all hold together too.

GOOD STUFF.

Also good is the Ener-G stuff. Open Original Shared Link

On the site is the story of the business which is quite interesting. Makes you realize how dedicated they are. (Same for gluten-free Br. Bskt).

Wow, those look good. How much do they charge for shipping? I looked on their website and couldn't find shipping charges listed. Also, do their breads freeze well? Do you thaw them in the fridge or in the microwave?

(I'm starting to get tired of making EVERYTHING from scratch!)

Not sure about shipping cost, but I put everything in the freezer so hopefully it will freeze well.

As for thawing, I just took out a couple slices and left them on a paper towel for about 10/15 minutes until it thawed and then made my sandwich. :)

And yeah the Rye definately even smells like rye. I don't know how these women do it, but this bread is truly amazing!

Bread, real bread?? :D

The EnerG granola bars are wonderful, but a little too much sugar for me.

This sounds like a great topic for a thread.....Jmunchkin, ok if we hop on????

No, I just had the best sandwich ever ....

Avocado and Tomato on Jalepeno/Cheese Bread

For starters, I made some homemade jalapeno cheese bread. I just followed the recipe for cheese bread on the side of Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix and added the optional jalapenos. The rest was easy. Sliced bread, tomato, and jalapenos, a smidgen of mayo. Oh my gosh! That was a very divine sandwich. (Homegrown tomato is a MUST. The jalapenos were, too) Ummmmmmm!

I am an EXTREMELY picky eater! I had a gluten-free bun early on in the gluten-free diet. It was AWFUL. Gagging awful.

So I was REALLY REALLY skeptical when someone on here said that the Gluten Free Breadbasket breads were really good. I had just about resigned myself to never having bread, rolls, pasta, pancakes, etc ever again in my life.

BUT, I TRIED the "Gluten Free Breadbasket" breads.. And LOW AND BEHOLD they are GOOD. REALLY good texture. I even ate the Cinnamon Raisin WITHOUT toasting!! And WITHOUT butter or jam!

Seriously, the texture is good. I don't know about the buns. Haven't tried them yet (got to get brave).

And my husband just sent for the samplers (2, one for breads only and one for snacks & breads) from Ener-G. Their pretzels are great. REALLY. Will let you know about the bread and rolls when I get them.

Two years ago, I would have called a 9 dollar shipping charge highway robbery, but with gas prices these days, it's not so bad, is it?

Sorry, been MIA for a few days.

But the texture is great!!! I actually took a couple plain slices of the country sandwich bread with me to work this morning and ate them (GASP) PLAIN and UNTOASTED!!!!

I truly can't believe how close this is to real bread.

I'd be shocked if anyone said the didn't like it.

Oh and haven't tried the rolls yet, but I did get some of the hot dog rolls so I will let you know when I try them.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
