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!

Karen

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.

Anna's is our favorite bread mix. Also buying Annalise Roberts cookbook will be a great help to you. She has recipes for some amazing goodies , like the real deal...... It has become my fav. c.book......

there is some pretty tasty recipes posted on this site. We love Carriefaith's soft breadsticks.......

Everybody Eats has wonderful crusty rolls & baguettes, you can go to their site & they have stores listed when you can find their products or order directly from them. TO us they are pricey but worth every penny.

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
