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?

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
