Which Premade Gf Bread


deb

I am going to be going to Colorado Springs Next Tuesday and want to know if anyone buys from "Outside The Bread Box" bakery they are a gluten-free bakery only. They have several breads to choose from and I'm not sure which ones I should get. Their web site is www.outsidethebreadbox.com. some of the products I was looking at are the sandwich breads one is Rice-garfava bread, Rice bread, & Montina bread. Has anyone bought from them? what are you experinces as to the three types of bread I wrote above? If you go to their web site you can see the ingerdients listed when you click on the product. You do have to order 48 hours in advance if you are picking up anything from them so any help ASAP would really be appreciated.

The only sliced bread I have tried since going gluten-free a little over a week ago is Millet bread. It's OK I guess, but I didn't like is for a sandwich. I can't buy much of anything in my town. We do have a health food store but all the carry is the millet bread. I tried to make some using Bette Hagman's "Tender Buttermilk Bread" recipe. It turned out terrible. My bread machine died so that may have been most of it. I can't even buy a new machine where I live. The local wal-mart doesn't carry them anymore. Any help of suggestions?

Thanks,

Deb :rolleyes:

I've heard a number of people on this board note that they get great results just doing it by hand (and with gluten-free bread not needing the same kneading, it's easier) and using a loaf pan in the oven.

I don't have any good recommendations on the bread, as I just don't bother to eat it. ;-)

I live in parker and I just bought some of their stuff at the water to go store in Castle Pines. I tried the pizza crusts (which I did not cook first when I tried so it came out kinda yucky so I will have to try again) and some snickerdoodle cookies. The cookies although not cheap are to die for (I know I can make them but I just like to have some in the freezer for those times). I LOVE these cookies, they are better than regular. I am going to top one with pumpkin ice cream for desseert tonight! ANYWAY, you asked about bread and I did not try their bread. I tried the knickinick rice bread and it is pretty good (better even if toasted). Please let me know how the bread is, I would like to try it next time.

Also, on a side note, I took some of my bread with me to someones house and by the time I took it out it it was nothing but crumbs, but hey it made a great meatloaf the next night. NEVER waste $6.00 bread! :P

Stephanie,

It's great to know that their snickerdoodle cookies at that good. I ordered some of them before I read your post. How was the Pumpkin ice cream with them?? Sound like a pumpkin pie. mmmmm!! I also ordered the hamburger buns - Rice-Garfava, sandwich bread - Rice, dinner rolls - Montina , The Pizza crust, & saltine crackers. It seems like quite a lot of different types to me but I just need to see which one I like.

I live in Lamar so its not that close to Springs, Denver etc. It is a whole day trip to go up. If their stuff is really good I'm sure I will be going more often or just ordering for delivery. I will be sure to let you know what I think after eating some. Also thanks for the tip on meatloaf. That was one of the reasons I was buying the crackers. Now I will remember to use bread, maybe the millet I didn't like for sandwhiches. You are right not to waste any. :D

Deb, the cookie/ice cream combo was YUMMY! Another FYI, I found some bars called Lara bars. They are made by someone in Denver and have no gluten (the apple pie one was apples, dates, nuts, cinnamin) they actually have the little no wheat symbol on them. I found them at King Soopers with the nutritional bars and they are really good and filling. at $1.99 each, not for every day but those times when you need something fast - really good!

I had a Lara bar once, after checking the ingredients, and deciding to ignore the "processed on equipment that processes wheat" warning. I definitely had a reaction. Of course, this could vary by batch, and they may have mostly resolved this problem, just wanted to give you a heads up. (I also had the apple pie one - it was very tasty, aside from the "side effects" ;-) )

kaysol Rookie

Oh, bummer! I will have to see if I react, I ate it this morning and feelokay so far..crossing fingers because I liked it! thansk for the warning!

Be careful with the Millet bread -- if it's Deland Bakery, they've got contamination issues.

Stephanie - What brand of pumpkin ice cream was it?? I will look for the Lara bars when I go to the store next. I probably can

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
