gluten-free Bread

A common complaint I notice from time to time is the lack of a bread you can buy which comes close to the same flavor/texture as traditional bread. Recently my wife brought home some bread by "Glutino". It is made in Quebec, Canada. The reason I don't think we bought it before was because of the name on the package. It said Corn Bread. The only thing in it that relates to corn is corn starch. It looks like white sandwich bread and has the texture and flavor of sourdough when toasted. It is light in weight. I think the name is what throws some people off. I called them and mentioned how much it tastes like regular bread. Their response is that they have been working on the product for a long time. They also make a flax seed bread which is also good. I have been looking at maybe buying a case (12 loaves) and freezing. I have tried the main gluten-free breads available and will not mention names because I appreciate any company who tries to make a gluten-free product. The light weight and texture of this product make it far superior in my opinion. Has anyone else tried this product and what was your response. The phone number for Glutino is 1-800-363-3438. Any questions about the ingredients could be answered. The label does mention that traces of soy may be in the bread.

I haven't had their bread yet. I can't find it locally(out here in the sticks), and I'm afraid to order a case from the co-op that I order from. I have had their bagels(plain and cinnamon raisin), and they are first rate. The are a bit denser than a "normal" bagel, but the texture is pretty close to those toxic bagels I used to enjoy so much. They are normal sized too, not like the mini-bagels that Enjoy Life turns out. I would be interested in getting ahold of a loaf to try.

Yes, Glutino is a great product. Everything Ive tried was excellent. They even make gluten-free ice cream cones. :P

Im in the middle of healing so Im passing on the bread only because I think I react to the yeast. Ill have to wait a while to try that. Wholefoods market and mostly all health food stores carry Glutino products.

Glutino and Gluten Free Pantry merged, so now I've been seeing more Glutino products locally. I think that is helping to get Glutino out with the distribution GFP has. I haven't bought anything yet, but it looks like I should!

The ice cream cones were wonderful :)

Thanks for the heads up on the "corn" bread AND the ice cream cones. I've only tried a couple of Glutino's products, just the chocolate breakfast bars which tasted like prunes to me, and the bread sticks, which were just okay. I just hadn't thought to try their bread yet. And I never would have thought to try their cornbread while looking for a sandwich or toast type bread.

Thanks again!

Gotta go place an order now!

I've not tried the bread yet, but I definitely will! I love everything I've ever had from both Glutino and GFP, so I'm glad they've merged. I'll have to find more ways to get ahold of the stuff!

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.
