Gluten Free Sandwiches

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering wether or not anyone knows of anywhere that stocks, makes or sells ready made gluten free sandwiches? I'm sure there is a huge gap in the market for this, I'm trying to remedy that but I can't until I know the current availability.

I don't know about anyone else here but I'm forever faced with the dilema of eating rubbish or eating nothing if we stop in a service station...

I travel around alot & I have never seen any gluten-free sandwich bread in service plaza's or even Pamela's individual cookie pkg. I just carry my own with me. I sometimes but a slice of gluten-free turkey breast & add it to my bread in the car.

This topic makes me miss Uncrustables :(

I almost forgot about them. Someone needs to make a gluten-free version.

If your around Denver, CO, there is a place called Deby's Gluten Free Bakery. Not only do they make good bread, you can by pre-packaged sandwiches, even premade lunchs, meatloaf and potatoes and the like.

Amazing Thank You. I'm in the UK though :( The products on the site look tasty, how are the sandwiches?

Hmmm, seems better than the Uk... Are they any good?

Uncrustables? What are they? I'm in the Uk and not heard of them...

First of all - those of you in Denver are so lucky to have Deby's! I've been to CO before, way pre-Celiac, but now I really want to go there to visit Deby's! Is it weird that I want to plan a vacation around gluten-free food availability?? ;)

Second, Uncrustables are these round sandwiches (made with gluten bread) with peanut butter and jelly. They're called Uncrustables b/c (duh) they have no crust, and the edges are pinched closed. This probably explains it better than I can: Open Original Shared Link

Ener-G makes some of their gluten-free breads packaged two slices per bag. They are pretty expensive, but they do keep for a long time. I plan to take these along with us if we ever make another cross country move.

I think one reason why you don't see sandwiches made up ahead of time is that most of the gluten-free bread I've tried needs to be toasted or at least microwaved a bit to warm it up to be edible. Otherwise it is just mushy or crumbly and doesn't make for a good sandwich.

Things we keep with us "just in case" are raw pumpkinseed bars and Boomi (nut and fruit) bar. Both are small enough to tuck into a purse or cooler and will make a meal substitute if need be. Another option is a can of refried or other beans and some corn tortillas or chips.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
