Hello everyone, i was wondering how you all keep your hm breads fresh? I just made bobs red mill cinnamon raisin bread, and i got the hearty whole grain, and i have made the gluten free pantry my fravotite bread mix.. a few times, a few diff way how they say on the box. i have yet to really come to like the bread... i feel like i can still taste that left out ingredient. but the last one i made we put it in a real bread bag, but it was hard the next day. i know most cookies you can freeze and some breads to.. is this the case.? i mean i really hate the idea of my bread frozen, but it lasts longer. any ideas? what do you do for your breads? thanks, and i hope you all are doing well! :D

Hello Melly

How can you taste that left out ingredient? Lol. I usually think there is something missing.

Keeping it fresh is a hard one. I think our home made breads, whether gluten free or not go harder quicker because there are no bread conditioners in them. Less preservatives. I think any type of bread will freeze. I usually slice it then freeze it. I have to have my first two slices then and there. The worst that happens is that the pieces stick together, so I try to seperate them while they are freezing down. I no longer eat bread like I used to. Usually my frozen bread gets toasted with honey on top. Never for work lunches.

Freeze it. I also slice it and freeze them individually, I also dont eat bread like I used to. that is my only solution so far

I have good luck double-wrapping: I wrap very tightly in plastic wrap, then put in a ziploc bag and suck the air out with a straw.

I also wrap my bread in plastic wrap, and then in a plastic ziplock bag and put in the frig. Sometimes my dd goes through the bread rather quickly if she's in a "sandwich" phase. Otherwise, it lasts a bit longer. I plan on making bread once/week though.

Despite the wide variety of gluten-free breads available--Im guessing that most Celiacs and gluten-free family memebers ismply dont eat all that much bread--particularlly after bing gluten-free for a while..of all things Ive had to learn to substitute I have never really learnid to enjoy gluten-free bread...just sort of doing with out seems to come naturally after a while...i suppose famiies with children use bread a bit more frequently becausse of school lunches..CP

We eat sandwiches practically every day when we're in a sandwich phase. We enjoy the Kinnikinnick breads. They're very good toasted lightly on a sandwich. I actually enjoy them. The Kinnikinnick sandwich bread and the cheese tapioca bread are my favorites. The italian bread is also very good.

Hi, my name is David from Ireland, I make my own gluten-free bread from scratch,

i don't use any pre-pack mixes at all.

My bread stays fresh in an air-tight container longer than 3 days, not sure

how long as bread is always consumed in about 3 days.

I post recipes on the Irish Coeliac (Celiac) Web Site.

Here's the link to that bread recipe, please note suppliers/sources in brackets

are required in Ireland to prove that all the ingredients are vetted and are free from cross-contamination.

Best Regards,

David Harris

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
