You can order them direct from the manufacturer for $5.50-$6.50 per mix. I don't know how much shipping will cost you, but if you buy a bunch it will probably still be cheaper than $9.

Which mix of Manna from Anna is the best? Anyone have a favorite? Thanks!

I get the yeast reg one but my daughter uses the no yeast one. Depends what other allergies you are trying to avoid. Anna does go to conferences & sells her mixes. Other then that I would say order directly from her website. That is how I've been doing it .... ...All of her stuff is very good.

Yes - this is the only bread I've made that tastes like bread to me. It is out of this world great! I pay $10 for the bag but get it locally and that makes two loafs so I don't think it's that bad, as far as gluten free prices go anyway. I'm going to make the pie crust as soon as we get some cooler weather here. Need to practice for my famous pecan pies I always make for the holidays.

I also use the reg. gluten free version but there is a corn free version as well as the yeast free one. I froze some of this for over three months and it was still great. I forgot it was in there but now I have a system so that won't happen again. This stuff is really so good I don't think it's a good idea to have around all the time. It's just empty calories but man it is great!

Can somebody tell me what sets this stuff apart from other gluten-free bread (texture/flavor/special anti-crumble ingredients?/All of the above)? Everybody raves about it, but I have yet to track it down locally. I would love to try it if it is as good as everyone says. Just curious about what makes it so much better. That's all. (here's your chance to relate your Yummy Manna stories) :)

I've contemplated getting this a few times as I've heard it's really good. Do you need a bread machine for it though or can I just make it in the oven in a regular pan?

I don't have a bread machine - one bag makes two loaves of bread. And regarding what makes it different well.......it tastes like really good bread. Not like that spongy stuff that I had with every other type - Pamela's, Authentic, every other one I tried was not like bread to me, or good bread anyway. Breads from Anna (new name) is just fantastic! It's not like gluten free bread at all.

Is it really not healthy?

I have to come in for Anna's defense here... if you order directly from her the mix is not $ 10.00 it is more like $ 6.50 & others are less. It is the stores that jack up the prices. I bought Namaste stuff for around $ 6.00 the I went someplace else & it was $3.00 more for the same item I just paid less for.....

I like Anna's mix because in my prior gluten world I ate hearty breads , ryes, wheats ect. - you know the staff of life wheat stuff!!!!!I never liked towntalk soft white bread... and if you are a towntalk white bread lover you probably will not like the taste or texture of Anna's mixes. The mix is a hearty mix & it is about the only one I eat ecept for baguettes & crusty rolls from Everybody Eats. And once in awhile I eat black china rice bread toasted with cream cheese on it....plus it doesn't fall apart when slice & it is just as good after freezing ........it is hard to find a good bread that is gluten-free. Plus you can make it by hand or in the machine..

One other thing I like about Anna is she will answer any ????'s you may have & she is a wonderful person...

If you are not sure about her mixes PLEASE send her an e- mail & ask your ???

I just checked out the website for this place Everybody Eats, and I want some baguettes! Does it really taste like french bread? Do they do mail order or online orders? It didn't look like it on their site, but what I wouldn't give for some gluten-free french bread!!! It is almost worth a trip to NY just to eat there...

They DO ship overnight with FedEX, I am going to have to place an order!

Their french baquettes are incredible!!! I'm pretty sure they do mail order / Fed Ex. I actually live in NY and have it messengered over because they are in Brooklyn, not Manhattan. If you are going to order I'd also suggest the pizza. It is amazing! Even DH who is picky NY'er about his pizza likes it.

Oh and if you need proof how good the bread is. I have a friend who's best friend just moved to L.A. who also has celiac, and we had to order her a whole bunch of the baquettes and overnight them to her. LOL!!

Everybody Eats will ship anywhere. If you look at their site they have some places that now carry their stuff. Some may be cheaper than ordering directly from them if they will ship . I'm not sure about shipping but I do know one of the places sells their stuff cheaper than they do. It doesn't make sense to me but I was told they can sell it for less because they are not in the BIG city.......I freeze alot of it ...... We just made garlic bread out of the bagutte --- Yummmmmmy.

You can e- mail them Bruce is very nice & will relpy back to you..... Tell him I suggested that you e-mail him-- Sande from Pa. I don't get anything for that but I told him I would put out the word about his stuff since I love it sooooo much.......

Dear Skinny,

I agree, Anna's bread is so good! I get mine at Nutri Foods in Royal Oak, Michigan for $7.59. I am sorry, but don't know how much it is at stores across the country. A hint to make it moister: before you make your sandwich, zap slices in the microwave for just a few seconds.

Good luck.

Sharon

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.
    • Scott Adams
      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
