I Just Had The Best Sandwich Ever!

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.

      Medication

      By trents · Posted

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
