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".

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
