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

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
