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.

      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.

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?
