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?

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
