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.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.)

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
