On a recent post someone mentioned Chebe rolls. I have looked at their web site and am interested in trying their products But I need the mix ASAP. No one local to me carries them so I will have to drive a distance. Are the products worth the drive?

I think it is worth it. Everyone else that's tried it at our Celiac group (typically over 100 people at each meeting) and the guys at my office like it. But, I know one person that says she hates the taste of tapioca flour and therefore, didn't like Chebe.

I know I've mentioned this before but the worst thing I hear about Chebe is that it was gummy. Usually, gluten-free breads have rice flour in them and the challenge is to keep them moist. So you pop it in plastic wrap ASAP. Chebe has to breathe and lose the moisture. So you need to wrap it in a coton tea towel and let it sit in a basket or colander for 12-24 hours. After that, you can put it in a ziploc and leave it on the counter a couple more days before it starts going stale.

Our favorite variation is with parmesan and adding the baking powder. But I've used cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella and even discovered once when I forgot to add cheese that it's good without it even.

Have you used any of the frozen products?

I haven't. Because I have limited freezer space, I use the dry mix. But I know people in my local Celiac group that have bought the frozen products and they love it.

I did try something in the freezer case of the international section at Kroger called "pan de yucca" that was made with tapioca and cheese and it was really good. A brown and serve roll kind of thing.

I noticed that pan de yucca didn't taste cheesy like the chebe rolls I make but that's probably the type of cheese they use. I use parmesan which is strongly flavored. A softer cheese like a ricotta or a queso fresca might not have a cheese taste at all. I know fat free cream cheese produces a white bread type of roll (the xantham gum in the fat-free version helps the texture of the roll).

I LOVE them!!!! You can order them online too! But they are worth the drive. I drive an hour for my gluten-free specialty stuff!

I use them for hamburger buns. You add anywhere from 1-3 tsp of baking powder to the mix. and then divide the dough into four and bake. YUM!!!!!

So worth it.

I personally can't stand the Chebe stuff. I've never tried the frozen ones.

You found pan de yucca!!!!???!! I had it in Colombia when I was a foreign exchange student in the '70's and I loved it and I hadn't had it since then--it's a staple there--yucca is. I had it boiled, fried, mashed, but my fave was yucca bread (pan de yucca). I'm def going to look for it at Krogers. Thanks!

Oh, BTW, I love Chebe mixes. Yum-O!

I hope your Kroger's carries it. None of the ones on our side of town do and I pick it up on the other side of town (about an hour away). First time I fixed it surprised me because the frozen bread is the size of a biscuit, maybe 2 inches across. It baked up to the size of a burger bun! I found it in the freezer section that carries frozen Mexican food (food actually from Mexico) and other international items.

      Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the lining typically caused by celiac disease. This second step is used as confirmation of the blood work when the antibody testing turns up some positives. Occasionally, positive antibody tests scores can be caused by things besides celiac disease. Which of these were done or did you have both done before the doc declared you to have celiac disease?

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!
