Anna's Breads.... Out Of This World Delicious (and I've Tried Them All)!

Ever since going gluten free... the one thing I have not been able to find a worthy replacement for is bread... I've tried so many different brands... and they all taste like drywall... IMHO... I even bought bread from th gluten free breadbasket specialty bakery... and I'd all but given up hope... but I picked up an Anna's bread mix from my local health food store and figured... well... I gotta keep trying...

I had my mom bake up a couple of loaves (I can't bake bread worth a darn).... and all I can say is WOW... perfect bread texture... doesn't fall apart.... moist like bread should be... tasty... I mean it just tasted like really good homemade bread to me... so tonight I got to have my day after thanksgiving turkey sandwich... and I was soooooo happy... hubby even tried it and liked it... I had to limit him to two slices bc he was going for more when I reminded him that I needed it for me... lol...

So if you are new to this whole gluten-free thing... don't bother wasting your money on any breads... go get an Anna's mix and make up your own...

Do you know if you need a big mixer for Anna's breads or can you just use beaters or knead it by hand? THanks in advance!

I couldn't agree more. I just tried the pumpkin and banana breads the other day and they are incredible!!

You don't need a mixer for the speciality breads (such as the pumpkin and banana), but she does reccomend a mixer for the regular sandwich type of breads. So I'm asking for a bread machine for Chanukah. :)

That's how good this is, worthy of buying a bread machine!

Another kind of bread that i've found is kinnikinnick bread mix. I also have given up on buying bread loves so now i make my own. The kinnikinnick mix is very good (the best so far!) It's not a good sandwich bread...but more of a sweet bread if you add some sugar to the mix. Its also cheaper than other mixes.

And you can mix it by hand

I love Anna's mixes. You know it's cheaper to order from her by the case & it keeps for a year or two in a cool dry space.....it also makes a good pizza crust. Anna is coming out with new mixes soon. Her site is Gluten Evolution

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
