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".

      Fiber Supplement

      @Trish G, I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well. But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small...

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured...

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I'm not a big fan of prunes but did add them back after stopping the Benefiber. Hoping for the best while I wait to hear back from Nutritionist for a different fiber supplement. Thanks again

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      If you were wondering why milk protein bothers you with Celiac Disease. Commercial dairies supplement the cow feed with wheat, which becomes incorporated in the milk protein. Milk omega 6 to omega 3 ratio: Commercial Dairies: 5:1 Organic Milk: 3:1 Grass fed milk: 1:1

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      Fiber Supplement

      @Trish G,  I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well.  But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small intestines where our nutrients are absorbed.  If you have constipation, where your body is rather pushing your food away and not interacting with it, the nutrients in the food are not being released and absorbed.  You can develop deficiencies in all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the body to function properly.   The B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished daily.  Thiamine B 1 stores can run out in as little as three days.  Constipation (or diarrhea or alternating) is one of the first symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine needs magnesium, Pyridoxine B 6, and Riboflavin B 2 to make the intestinal tract function.  Thiamine and Niacin make digestive enzymes.  Thiamine provides the energy for nerve impulses to carry messages to the brain and back about digestion.  Thiamine provides the energy for the muscle contractions which move your food through the digestive tract. High calorie meals containing lots of starches and sugars can deplete thiamine stores quickly because more thiamine is required to turn them into energy.   Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements?  Correction of malnutrition is very important in Celiac disease.  Thiamine, the other B vitamins and magnesium will help with constipation better than adding more fiber.  What did your nutritionist recommend you take, besides just the fiber? The association between dietary vitamin B1 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11100033/ Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Association between dietary vitamin B6 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11584952/

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured in blood tests. If you had already gone gluten free or if you had lowered your consumption of gluten before testing, your results will be inaccurate and inconclusive.   See link below on gluten challenge guidelines. Have you had any genetic testing done to see if you carry genes for Celiac disease?  If you don't have genes for Celiac, look elsewhere for a diagnosis.  But if you have Celiac genes, you cannot rule out Celiac disease. You mentioned in another post that you are vegetarian.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  The best sources of the eight essential B vitamins are found in meats.  Do you supplement any of the B vitamins as a vegetarian? Deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is strongly associated with anemia which can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Fatigue, numbness or tingling in extremities, difficulty with coordination, headaches and anemia are strongly associated with thiamine deficiency.  Other B vitamins that contribute to those symptoms are Riboflavin B 2, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9 and B12 Cobalamine.  The eight B vitamins all work together with minerals like magnesium and iron.  So your symptoms are indicative of B vitamin deficiencies.  You can develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies just being a vegetarian and not eating good sources of B vitamins like meat.  B vitamin deficiencies are found in Celiac due to the malabsorption of nutrients because the lining of the intestines gets damaged by the antibodies produced in response to gluten.
