Is There Something About Gluten Free Bread Etc... ?

Just a quick query....

Is there something about the gluten free breads/pastas etc that makes it impossible to eat alot of it?

My son seems able to stomach alot of rice but when it comes to eating gluten-free pasta he seems to get full much quicker & he will only eat small amounts of gluten-free bread too... just wondered if its something in the make up of it, or does he simply not really like it? He hasnt ever had 'normal' bread/pasta so it cant really be that hes longing for something else!

Thanks in advance :)

Interesting question.

If I were to venture a guess, I'd say perhaps it's fiber content, or simply the fact that these foods are typically more nutritious than the gluten-filled counterparts. I've always eaten whole grains, even as a kid, so perhaps that's why I myself haven't noticed any difference.

Don't know if it has anything to do w/ anything... but the rice pastas are much higher on the glycemic index that regular pasta. That's important for diabetics, but don't know how it affects us. I do know they recommend foods lower on the glycemic index when you're trying to lose weight.

I've noticed the bread often seems to be a compact version of the wheat loaves, so it would seem though a sandwich may be made with smaller, thinner slices of bread, it turns out to be as filling as a "full sized" sandwich. You guys might have found better bread than I have though, so I'm not sure that applies. I like the bread, but I stopped buying it a few years ago because $5/loaf .. the price just wasn't worth it any more. And now, I'm still watching the price go up gradually whenever I see it at the store. Anyway, I'm not up to date on "modern" gluten-free bread :D Actually, I stopped buying it when it hit $4/loaf.

Pasta used to be one of my favourite food, I would always make an excuse to have it, but now that I am gluten-free I make excuses not to have it, because I don't feel like it. Bread, I used to eat by the loaf, well maybe not in one sitting, but I would have my fair share, but now, I am lucky if I eat a gluten-free loaf in a month.

For me, it is because the pasta is just seems too heavy now, I don't think it has anything to do with the flavour. The reason I don't eat the bread much is because it is so expensive, even if I make my own, and I really don't think it is any more healthy than plain white bread.

Yep, that sounds like the bread I remember! I still eat pasta once or twice each year (my birthday and one of the holidays) because I really love lasagne :wub: .. but it too has gotten much too expensive .. and I did notice how heavy it was on my stomach last time I had it, but I just figured my stomach must be shrinking, lol, but you're probably right, it could very well be the pasta itself!

Gluten free flours are heavier than wheat flours. They hit my tummy like lead. They are higher in calories too, so it's good he doesn't eat as much of it.

I've experienced the same thing with all the gluten-free breads/muffins and pasta I've eaten, and it's definitely not for lack of liking it! There were times I ate disgusting amounts of gluteny equivalents, but I just get filled right up with the gluten-free stuff. I share things I bake with my non-gluten-free mom and she has noticed also that she fills up much more quickly. It's kinda nice...sort of like a diet without feeling deprived. ;)

Dear Julie,

I wonder. Might one have an innate sense for "bad", even having never experienced "good"?

best regards, lm

p.s., BTW, what's a buttonburger?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
