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".

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
