Better Bread

I went to Whole Foods recently (ours isn't way out of the way, actually in the heart of town, which is probably just as bad) and they only had one type of sandwhich bread, it's very heavy, about the weight of a brick and the slices were a weird constitecy, and not the greatest. Are there any more like regualr bread types, or will I have to make it?

I guess it doesn't help if the only type of bread allowed in the house before was all wheat.

I am also fairly new to the diet, but from all that I have read, you will have to make bread if you want a better taste. I have only tried 2 recipes from scratch and 1 mix. I didn't like the mix, and the last recipe I tried turned out pretty good. I can give you the recipe if you want it!

That wold be great. I'm trying to make lost bread and sandwhiches (my dad's a truck driver and can't bring stuff that needs to be heated up.) and the bread i bought is horrible for sandwhiches, not to bad toasted and smothered (when i say smothered i mean it) in preserves.

I'm waiting on my blood results, but even then I'll have to wait on my endo (don't really want to do that again) but I'm trying to get prepared because I think no matter what I am going gluten free. It won't hurt to try.

Alot like Gluten free pantry mix & I love Anna's mix. If you were a towntalk bread person then you probably wouldn't like Anna's. Also Kinnickkinnick is good.... Some even say Energ ligth tapicoa bread is good but I can't bring myself to eat it because it has a shelf life of a couple of years.................I made stuffing out of Whole Foods Sandwich Bread with a couple other brands & it was very good.

Shelf life of a couple years? Um ew. That just does not sound healthy.

Try Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix. It is so close to wheat bread that you'll be shocked. It even smells like wheat bread. It's soft, tender, and it even bends.

It also doesn't have a weird taste, like some of them do. We go through 2-3 loaves of it a week.

It is packaged in really thick plastic with air in the package. It does keep for a long time so long as it is not opened. Once opened, it spoils very quickly.

So far my favorite is the GFP french bread mix (it doesn't make a french bread - it says on the package to bake in a regular loaf pan which I did and it turned out like regular home made bread - even my glutenoid husband was impressed!). I have a package of Anna's mix but haven't tried it yet. I just ordered the EnerG foods Tapioca light (make sure it's the light) on amazon, and it was a pack of 6 loaves that are good (unopened) through Aug. '07. I opened one loaf and ate about half (still toasted - was just like normal white bread toasted) then stuck it in the fridge and it was still good one week later (toasted of course - I haven't brought myself to try it untoasted). I think if you don't want to toast the bread that you will have to make your own.

With the Whole Foods, was it their store brand Gluten-Free Bakehouse? Stock might vary from store to store but the local one for me carries several varietys of this brand. I like the one that is just labeled "sandwich bread". If you like stuff like sunflower seeds, etc in your bread, try the Prarie Bread.

The closest thing I have found to traditional sandwich bread is Glutino "Corn Bread". It is not made from corn meal but rather corn starch and is light in weight and texture. I think it resembles sour dough when toasted. It is the only sandwich bread I have bought recently. It is frozen because it comes from Canada. Until something else comes out better I will continue to eat this. It does not give me the feeling of swallowing a "brick".

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
