Hi everyone...I was recently (in the past month) diagnosed with Celiac's disease and I have now been gluten free...i think....for about a week and a half or so. I've tried some of the breads I can find in the health food stores and I've even tried to make my own. I've also tried some of the cookies out there. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for bread that tastes like normal bread, that isn't so dry and any suggestions for normal tasting chocolate chip cookies....all the ones i've tried taste like cardboard diet cookies...yuck! Thanks so much and any other suggestions on good tasting items would be great! Thanks!!

Kinnikinick makes some great cookies and sandwich breads. Even donuts and muffins and pizza crusts.

Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free Bread Mix is my absolute favorite bread. I slice it and store it in the fridge in a ziplock bag and when I want a sandwich I microwave it for about 45 seconds or so until warm... I also love it with melted butter and honey on it for breakfast.

My daughter prefers Kinnikinicks Italian White Tapioca Rice Bread, it comes frozen and I keep it in the fridge and again microwave it for 30 seconds or so until warm and make sandwiches with it. She loves this bread.

I just discovered EnerG's hot dog buns and these are really good sliced and toasted. (not exactly like a regular gluten containing hot dog bun, but they are good)

Hi -

Do you have a bread machine? I couldn't find any premade bread that my daughter liked so I invested in a bread machine and now we make our own and it's so much better. The Pamela's amazing wheat free bread mix is our current favorite. She especially likes to make cinnamon raisin bread out of it. As for cookies, I most often just use a "normal" recipe and replace the wheat flour with Gluten Free Pantry's all purpose flour mix. I replace it cup for cup and it's works great. In Danna Korn's Living Gluten Free for Dummies book, she lists the following recipe and it's wonderful.

PB Cookies

2 eggs

1 c. peanut butter

1 c. sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs. Stir peanut butter and sugar into eggs. Drop dollops of dough onto cookie sheet. Press flat. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.

I make these a lot and they are really, really good.

Our favorite chocolate cake mix is from Namaste and our favorite pizza crust is from Kinnickinnick (in the frozen section). I hope that gives you some ideas!

Try the Chebe bread mixes. You could try the Kinnicknik breads, but toast or grill it!

If you can find Pamela's baking and pancake mix follow the recipe for chocolate chip cookies or a lot of people like using gluten-free flour replacement and using the original tollhouse recipe.

The gluten free pantry has a lot of nice mixes.

Glutino has a lot of good tasting pre-made foods. (bagels)

My favorite rice noodles are Tinkyada. If you use the penne shape with spaghetti sauce and shredded mozzarella it is like a baked ziti.

My favourite is Kinnickinnick. Their Tapioca English Muffins are amazing! What you need to do is microwave them for 50 seconds, take it out, turn it over, let it sit for about 2 minutes, then slice it, then toast it. Comes out wonderfully moist.

Have you downloaded the delphi list yet? It is a list that is an absolute essential. You would be amazed at how many mainstream items from the supermarket we can have.

If you go to www.delphiforums.com, (you need to register, but it is free), click on the left where it says "Health and Wellness". Around the second or third forum that comes up is the "Celiac Disease Support Group" forum, click on that. Scroll down to where it says "Gluten Free Products Lists" and click on there. The list will come up and it is categorized to make it alot easier. There is also a section you can click on to download the whole list. It is wonderful to have when you are in the supermarket.

Hope this helps, and any questions you have, don't hesitate to ask! Our motto is no question is too stupid to ask!

Welcome!

Try the yeast bread and soft batch cookies recipes from www.eatingglutenfree.com. I was just telling another poster that I donated some of those cookies to a funeral luncheon last week and had people asking for the recipe afterwards. They really are very good.

      mystery gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower, I have Hashimoto's, too. I've learned some things that have helped with mine. This study says it's common to find anti gluten antibodies in Hashimoto's. So antibodies aren't necessarily due to gluten ingestion. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31149170/ Take a B Complex supplement and Benfotiamine...

      @Rejoicephd, Would you consider adding a B Complex to your supplements? I was taking a multivitamin and still became deficient. There's a question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive system.

      @kopiq, Your case is not hopeless. Doctors are not required to learn much about nutrition. Celiac Disease causes damage to the lining of the small intestines resulting in malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals. The eight essential B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are chemical compounds that our bodies...

      Thank you @cristiana. Its really helpful to hear your experience, thanks for sharing. 8 years is a long time! And its also good to know that others have experienced worsening before it gets better. I've just started doing the food diary recently, and I'll keep that going. It's at least helping me try to get a handle on this, and also helps increase my...

      Yes, the development of additional food intolerances is a common spinoff of celiac disease. To ensure valid testing after beginning a "gluten challenge" you would need to be consuming at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Many cannot follow through with this regimen, however, as their intolerance...

      mystery gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower, I have Hashimoto's, too.  I've learned some things that have helped with mine. This study says it's common to find anti gluten antibodies in Hashimoto's.  So antibodies aren't necessarily due to gluten ingestion.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31149170/   Take a B Complex supplement and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and Vitamin C.  This study found a higher rate of thiamine and Vitamin C deficiencies in people with Hashimoto's.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37278003/   Try cutting back on the amount of iodine in your diet.  Iodine, even in small amounts, can stimulate the thyroid which in turn stimulates the immune system which increases antibody production.   Dairy and eggs are high in iodine.  Switch from iodized salt to Pink Himalayan salt.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9703374/   Supplement with Selenium, a mineral that helps the thyroid function and calms the immune response in the thyroid.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37033262/ Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Rejoicephd, Would you consider adding a B Complex to your supplements?   I was taking a multivitamin and still became deficient.  There's a question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive system.   I found taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, very beneficial in my recovery.   Some B Complex supplements use Thiamine Mononitrate which is not well absorbed nor utilized by the body.  Thiamine Hydrochloride is better.  Benfotiamine is easily absorbed.  If not needed, the B vitamins are easily excreted. High B12 out of the blue could be masking a lack of other vitamins that work with B12, like Folate B 9, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1. Meats and liver are great sources of B vitamins.  B vitamins are needed to make digestive enzymes that digest protein, fats, and carbohydrates.   Do keep in mind that most gluten free processed facsimile foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like their gluten containing counterparts.  The more carbohydrates you eat, the more Thiamine is needed to process them into energy instead of storing them as fat.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      @kopiq,  Your case is not hopeless.  Doctors are not required to learn much about nutrition.  Celiac Disease causes damage to the lining of the small intestines resulting in malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  The eight essential B vitamins  and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from what we eat.  If we're not absorbing sufficient amounts from our food, then supplementing with vitamins and minerals help boost our ability to absorb them.  The B vitamins are safe and water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed or not absorbed.  Essential minerals are important, too.  Magnesium and Thiamine make life sustaining enzymes together.   Blood tests for the B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  By the time a deficiency shows up in the blood, you've been deficient for a few years. The best way to tell is to try taking a  B Complex and looking for health improvements. Taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, helped me immensely.  I also took Vitamin D and Magnesium Glycinate and others. Did your doctor offer any treatment to correct your critically low Vitamin D level?   Mine was lower than yours.  My doctor prescribed the less bioavailable form D2.  Our bodies utilize the D3 form better.  I bought over the counter Vitamin D3 supplements (1000 IU) and took several with each meal.  Taking high doses of Vitamin D to correct a deficiency is safe and very effective at improving health.  I started feeling better quickly.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and lower inflammation, as well as makes hormones. Laying out in the sun cannot correct a Vitamin D deficiency unless you're below the 33rd parallel (on a tropical island with abundant exposed skin for several months).  Ultraviolet rays from the sun destroy the thiamine in the body.  That feeling of lethargy is because the sun exposure broke down thiamine into unusable pieces.  Thiamine and the B vitamins make ATP, the energy currency the body requires to function, to make digestive enzymes, to regulate body temperature, to think, to heal itself.  We need more Thiamine when we're outdoors in hot weather, working or exercising.  Thiamine deficiency doesn't cause heat stroke, but thiamine deficiency can make heat stroke symptoms worse.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically ill or injured or undergoing medical procedures.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or traumatized.  Anxiety and depression are very early symptoms of thiamine and other nutritional deficiencies.   Rashes can be caused by deficiencies in Niacin B3, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C.  Some rashes can become worse with exposure to sunlight.   The B vitamins are needed to make digestive enzymes that will help you digest fat and proteins better.  Meats are an excellent source of B vitamins.  Sweet potato and plantain are high in carbohydrates.  The more carbohydrates one eats, there is a greater metabolic need for thiamine to turn them into energy, ATP. Can your doctor refer you to a dietician or nutritionist?

I will also message my GI doc in the meantime too.  Thanks, it's really helpful to talk through this.
