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.

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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @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. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
