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

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
