Grilled Cheese And Tomato Soup

I have been gluten-free for two months now and I haven't had any bread. Really, I'm not craving it at all. So that's good. But I could totally go for a grilled cheese with some tomato soup. MmmMmm good.

So. what's everyone's favorite gluten-free bread out there?

And tomato soup? Are there any gluten-free premade brands that I can just pop open the can, add some milk, and go?

That would be so super.

thanks!

Kinnikkinick is perfect for grilled cheese. Annie's makes a gluten free tomato soup that's pretty good. I had to do the same thing about a month in. :)

I like Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix. Smells, tastes and acts very much like wheat bread. I use it to make BLTs, PB&J, toast, really anything. Doesn't crumble or anything. It should work just fine.

I haven't tried making Grilled Cheese with it, but it should work out just fine. Might have to try that out.

I do the same thing as Elonwy. The kinnikinnick makes great grilled cheese, my son loves it. I was feeding him that almost everyday for a bit, as it was the only thing he would eat.

I also used the Amys Tomato soup. I think someone on here also posted a recipe on here too. If I remember correctly is was relatively easy.

oh yeah, I made the Gluten Free Pantrys Sandwich Mix too. That worked well too, not as good as the Kinnikinnick though.

I've made grilled cheese with Ener-G Brown Rice loaf and Light Tapioca. Spread with butter and grilled with cheese, they really aren't bad.

For soup, my favorite is Imagine Foods Tomato Soup in the quart sized aseptic package. It's supposed to be served "as is", but we all like to add a little water - I'm sure milk would be good too.

I also vote for the Kinnikinnick or Gluten Free Panty's French Bread mix.

I haven't had it in a while but Heinz makes a great gluten-free tomato soup. This is imported from ENGLAND and I used to find it in the import food at my grocery store. I had 3 cans the week I found it but now am avoiding nightshades and haven't had it in a while. It tasted just like campbells soup. If you find it call and make certain it is still gluten-free.

when I make grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup I dip Kinnickinick bread in egg (one side only, grill the side dipped in egg put cheese in middle... and I use Amy's Creamy Tomato soup, you don't have to add anything, it's yummy the way it is.

Amy's tomato soup is AWESOME!

I was a big grilled cheese and Campbell's tomato soup girl pre-diagnosis, but I think I've come to like Amy's soup better :P

The BEST bread I have ever eaten is from Whole Foods !! It doesn't taste anything like gluten free bread at all. It tastes like the normal white bread I ate before being diagnosed.

The kind I get is called "White Sandwich bread"

I must have tried every gluten free bread it seems and this one is hands down the best.

I personally love the pacific tomato soup in the original or the roasted red pepper i do believe is the other.. the soup comes in like a carton type thing and you refrigrate the rest. You can get it at kroger and wild oats that I know of.

For Bread I love the gluten free pantry favorite sandwhich bread mix its great I have made some fabulous grilled cheeses with it! I hope this is helpful

I've had the Imagine brand creamy tomato soup - it's pretty good and comes in a carton style which is convenient for taking to work.

I like Food for Life brand bread. My favorites are red rice, black rice and millet. The millet makes a great gilled cheese.

Where do you find gluten-free challah bread or do you make it yourself?

DS just asked for this today and I got the Amy's Creamy Tomato soup and we have the Gluten-Free Pantry French Bread.

I can't wait to try it, too!

Thanks, y'all. You totally made me blow my diet <_<

My grilled cheese made with the gluten-free pantry bread and the Amy's tomato soup was quite tasty, thought!

Hey thanks for the suggestion! It sounded so good I had grilled cheese and tom soup for supper :P

I had Pacific brand roasted red pepper and tomato soup (also in a carton like Imagine brand), with Foods By George english muffin. I zap the muffin (microwave) for 20 seconds each side, then cut in half, flip the ends over (sliced sides out), butter, stick cheese on the inside, and grill.

soooo yummy!

THANKS! :D

Because I teach and my school is freezing, (they love air conditioning!) I love a warm lunch.........hard to keep gluten-free grilled cheese edible that way, though.......

SO I buy pacific's creamy tomato soup (So yummy), zap it in the microwave and crumble Dr. Schar's Pizzirilli crackers on top........then a few slices of cheddar on the side.

YUM! It's my favorite lunch to pack for school

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
