Anyone Find A Great Hamburger Bun?

Hello. Being new, I'm looking to make this transition as easy as possible for myself. We love to eat out at Red Robin, and I see that they have some potentially safe foods. Anybody want to chime in on what the Best bun would be that's gluten-free? I would have a tough time eating a hamburger without a bun, and thought maybe I could bring my own with me. :D But, I'm big into tastes, too. So, which tastes the most like a "real" hamburger bun??

Thanks!

I'm not sure about Red Robin, hopefully someone with some experience with them will chime in to confirm things on that.

Hamburger buns - Kinnikinnick English Muffins (not the hamburger buns) make nice, soft, squishy buns if you know the trick). The trick is that you have to put them in the microwave for a bit. Then they get soft and squishy. Kind of on the chewy side, but it works really well. www.kinnikinnick.com

Whole Foods just started making gluten-free hamburger buns. It may not be at every location yet, but if they have them near you, it will probably be in the freezer section with some other gluten-free stuff (pizza crusts, breads, cornbread). When you get them, you'll notice that they're hard as a rock and twice as heavy, but use the microwave trick and they'll get soft. These reminded me of really good hamburger buns. Makes me want to go buy some more.

We like the Glutino buns. They are made from corn flour, and are a bit tougher in texture than the wheat flour ones that I once ate. But they are very good, especially if lightly toasted. Visit Open Original Shared Link to learn more.

I have taken the Gluten-Free Pantry Sandwich Bread mix and the French Bread mix, prepared it for conventional oven but poured a small amount into a small round baking dish. I used a corningware bowl that we had but if you plan to do this a lot I have seen mini-springform pans that might work better.

You have to experiment a little to get the right thickness (but you can cut a middle layer out if it is too big). As with most of these bread mixes, it is better the first day or so after baking.

Can you tell me how many calories are in the Glutino burger buns?

I recently went to Whole Foods to buy theirs to find they had 360 calories each. Yikes! That changed my mind pretty quickly and I went without.

No, it is a recipe I have at home. It is not dairy free, it has butter and heavy cream in it. I am not sure how you could convert heavy cream into dairy free. I can post the recipe anyways if you want?

I've used the gluten-free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread in 4 inch springform pans to make buns and they turned out really good. The downside is you end up making a bunch of buns at one time and it takes time for yeast bread to rise.

I recently tried Fast and Fresh Hamburger Buns and I'm impressed. You mix and make one bun at a time, spoon it into a plastic bun shaped mold, microwave for one minute and then toast it to brown it. It turns out a bun with good texture that holds together in a burger with all the good stuff on it and it takes less than 5 minutes. The downside is you're trading time for money. The starter kit is $8.99 and the refill kit is $5.49, each kit makes 4 buns.

To me the trade-off is worth it because it allows me to go have a burger on the spur of the moment without having a 2 hour baking session before hand but I don't do it that often. If burger runs are a frequent event, you may prefer to bake a bunch and freeze them. If you toast a frozen bun, they still taste pretty good.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax. Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch. Increase the NeuroMag as well. You can add in another Benfotiamine, too.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
