I have to brag just a bit because I'm fortunate enough to have a three year old that's not a very picky eater. He'll eat just about anything - broccoli, salads, cauliflower....all the stuff many three year olds turn their nose up at. I was shopping yesterday and came across some gluten-free, yeast-free bread by Ener-G. I wasn't real confident it would taste good, but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. When I brought it home Ryan asked what it was, and I said "bread." He knows he isn't normally allowed to eat bread (and I don't normally even keep it in the house), so he was pretty excited and wanted to try it. He took one bite and said "I don't like it." and then handed me the piece that was in his mouth. I thought he was just being picky, so I took a bite....and immediately spit it into the sink ! :lol: It was HORRIBLE !! It had the most bizarre flavor I've ever tasted...and yet it was devoid of flavor at the same time. It was very much like trying to eat a sponge ! :ph34r: DH, Ryan and I had a good laugh - and then I tossed out the rest of the loaf.

I'm finding that because maneuvering around the gluten-free foods can be a little daunting sometimes, it really helps if you keep a sense of humor about it. :P

Not an option for us, unfortunately....my son is allergic to cow's milk & eggs as well. :( Otherwise I would have tried that.

I make breadcrumbs out of icky bread. I bought a loaf of Ener-G Tapioca bread just because I wanted to try it, which actually isn't that bad. But it ended up not being eaten. I found a trick for the breadcrumbs, which I posted on a new thread.

Oh, too bad you hadn't been warned about Ener-G breads. They are inedible unless toasted. Then they are edible with butter/margarine and jam.

The other way to make it palatable is to pan-fry it with margarine/butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder. I don't know what this does to the bread, but it's the only way I can get my 11 year old to eat it. It really doesn't taste bad at all. I serve it with tomato soup since he and I can't have dairy.

Do you know that kinkinnik breads have a gluten free, soy free, egg free, dairy free bread. He might like that. Otherwise, corn bread homemade is a delicious option.

No, I didn't know that. Thanks for that tip. I haven't seen that bread, I'll have to look more closely and see if I come across it.

If it's called "Robin's" something, please don't waste your money. It's just as bad, if not worse, than the Ener-G. I think they substitute powdered rubber for the gluten and eggs.

Have you tried the Ener-G english muffins (I think they are tapioca starch something or other)? My sister bought me those and I have not tried them yet.

Thanks!

I suggest Kinnikinnick breads or anything else they make. They bread looks like regular loaf, and once you toast it or even microwave it for a couple minutes its amazingly good, it dont break apart or nothing--stays soft. I live on their products. I'm probably one of their top customers already :lol:

They are a Canadian company but I know they do ship to US (not sure what the price difference is in products since i'm from canada..)

Hope this helps!!

Ener-G breads are disgusting! I like the Cybros rice rolls and there is a millet bread at a local store that I get that tastes like regular bread too. It was hard to find the good breads with all the disgusting gluten free breads that taste like cardboard.

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Gluten Allergy

      Yes, I know.   Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels.  High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms.  High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease.  Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels. Impact of supplementation with vitamins B6 , B12 , and/or folic acid on the reduction of homocysteine levels in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34058062/ Homocysteine, Pyridoxine, Folate and Vitamin B12 Levels in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30267523/ Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/ Prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia in adult gluten-sensitive enteropathy at diagnosis: role of B12, folate, and genetics https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15952099/ Homocysteine, Vitamins B6 and Folic Acid in Experimental Models of Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure-How Strong Is That Link? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35454125/

      You called it @knitty kitty.  I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold).  I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections.  So it seems that I am possibly dealing that issue in my gut as well. I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.
