Im thinking of trying one of the four vegan gluten free breads. The kinds are white rice bread,

whole grain brown rice bread, multi grain bread and fruit and seed medley bread. The fruit and seed one sounds great with some jelly on it. Im also looking for recommendations if anyone has one for the other breads that are more of a sandwich flavor. Thanks so much :)

My daughter loves the one with the fruit and seeds in it. The only problem I have is that the slices tend to stick together. I am lucky to get 1/2 of the loaf in intact slices.

What I do is thaw it out just enough to get as many slices apart as I can, then I put them in 2 slice packets in sandwich bags, back into the same bag it came out of and refreeze it.

Thanks Julie :) Does it do it with all kinds or just the fruit sticking together? I dont mind partially thawing and refreezing though. I miss stollen bread so this sounds like a great alternative.

I'm sorry--I don't like ANY of them. No matter what I do (nuke, toast, bake), they crumble as soon as I try to get them out of the package. The taste isn't bad, but the texture is awful--coarse, dry, and crumbly. They also gave me stomach-aches, and I always felt like I'd swallowed a brick after one slice. :(

I finally decided that, even though there are other reasonably acceptable premade breads out there, homemade is SO much better, it's worth missing an hour or two of sleep to make them occasionally.

Sorry! :(

I have to agree with Fiddle-faddle. I do not care for any of their breads. Much to heavy and dense, IMO. It is nice that they are easy to find in most health food stores around me, but I really do not like the flavor and texture.

Their brown rice flour tortillas, however, are delicious.

I hope you find a variety of bread that works for you.

They have more than these four. I happen to have China black rice & rice pecan bread in my fridge right now. I see more types on their web site.

I haven't had the crumbling problem, myself. I buy them frozen, but then put them in the regular section of the fridge. I haven't noticed them going stale. I don't find the need to toast, nuke, etc., just eat as is. Could this be why mine don't fall apart?

Anyway, obviously taste is a personal thing. But I haven't found a homemade vegan recipe that I like any better. Not that I've searched that hard :lol: I don't eat that much bread. I'm more inclined to use the brown rice tortillas to make wraps -- they can hold more.

I don't mind the red rice, black rice and pecan kind. I buy mine frozen, too, so I have to toast them. They are a very dense bread. Some loaves crumble and some are just fine.

I rarely eat bread, but if I were going to eat it frequently I'd make my own.

Thanks :) Im going to try it. I miss bread and I just don't have the time to make it. I make so many other things and my life just doesnt give me enough time right now.

Are the brown rice tortillas better than the corn tortillas? I cant stand the corn tortillas unless I bake them a bit since they fall apart on me. Should I bake these too?

All of their breads that we've tried have stick together. I think it's because they are sweetned with fruit juice. I'm not sure that this would be anything like stollen. But I've never had it, so I can't say for sure.

The only one my daughter didn't like was some kind of almond bread. She said it was just horrid. My mom then tried a bite of it, spit it out and threw the whole loaf in the trash.

I think perhaps many of the loaves I've bought are really old. That might be why they crumble so easily. I don't think they are very hot sellers here. I buy some from my health food store. They're a small store and don't necessarily get a lot of traffic. I bought a couple of loaves that were marked down to next to nothing at one of the local groceries. Could be they were just very old. I don't know.

The brown rice tortillas are sooooo much better than corn tortilas. I personally hate the texture of corn tortillas. If you nuke the brown rice tortillas for 30 seconds or so, they are very pliable, and can be used to make a wrap or burrito. I also like to eat them cold with hummus or sunflower seed buter. Mmmm - yummy!

My husband and I like the Rice Pecan bread by FFL. However I LOVE the brown rice tortillas by FFL. Those are much better than most corn (white or yellow) tortillas for wraps. My favorite wraps are refried beans with guacamole and peanut butter and sliced peaches. YUM!

Thanks so much :) I bought the rice pecan bread, loved it :D Before celiac I use to buy Koepplinger's whole grain bread. It was a very dense and heavy bread before so its really nice since it was similar to this bread. I couldnt order the fruit bread since they didnt have it in the catalog to order from the local food store so I'm going to have to make a trip out of town to pick it up. If I get the bar code I should be able to order it locally the next time. Im anxious to try the brown rice tortillas, I usually use lettuce wraps so it will be a nice change.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies, besides iron?   Celiac disease causes inflammation which results in nutritional deficiencies.   Iron needs Thiamine and the other B vitamins to make new red blood cells.   Iodine and thiamine deficiencies affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is one organ that uses lots of thiamine.   Vitamin D deficiency leads to hormonal problems, including menstrual problems.  Vitamin D needs Thiamine to activate it.   Heart palpitations and chest pain after gluten exposure can be evidence of poor digestion and a drop in available thiamine.  Consumption of any  foods high in carbohydrates can cause a drop in thiamine.  This is called high calorie malnutrition. Anxiety, numbness, tingling, acne, and brain fog are symptoms of Thiamine and the other B vitamin deficiencies.  There's eight B vitamins that all work together in concert.  They are water soluble.  They can be hard to absorb by inflamed intestines.  Vitamin A can improve acne. I suffered from all the same symptoms which only resolved with B Complex and Thiamine (in the forms TTFD and Benfotiamine) supplements, Vitamins D, A and C.  Magnesium, Thiamine and B6 Pyridoxine will get rid of the nightmares. Replenishing your vitamin and mineral stores will help heal and feel better faster.  Talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing. Think about adopting the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help with SIBO and MCAS to reduce bloating and heal the intestines. @Alibu and I were just discussing diagnosis without obvious villus damage here.   This study followed people who showed no or little villi damage at first....they accrued more damage over time. Outcomes of Seropositive Patients with Marsh 1 Histology in Clinical Practice https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4980207/ There's a move to be less reliant on endoscopy for diagnosis.

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Okay, Thank you!! I already have thyroid problems and my total iron binding capacity is high which usually means low iron but everything else was normal, lower end but “normal” my hair falls out and my nails won’t grow without breaking but nothing is being treated iron wise.  I have started having palpitations and chest pain,  both of which seem to be attributed to exposure to gluten. I’ve also been having a lot of nightmares, anxiety, numbness and tingling, brain fog, spotting between cycles and acne. Idk if all those are relatable to gluten / celiac but I’m concerned  I’ve finally tipped my body/ immune system into a bad place. Is there anyway to detox and heal faster or treat these symptoms if related to gluten ?

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, Start with this study... High-dose thiamine supplementation improves glucose tolerance in hyperglycemic individuals: a randomized, double-blind cross-over trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23715873/ "Conclusion/interpretation: Supplementation with high-dose thiamine may prevent deterioration in fasting glucose and insulin, and improve glucose tolerance in patients with hyperglycemia. High-dose thiamine supplementation may prevent or slow the progression of hyperglycemia toward diabetes mellitus in individuals with impaired glucose regulation." They used 100 mg of thiamine three times a day.  They don't say which kind of thiamine was used.  Benfotiamine is my recommendation because it has been shown to promote intestinal health and helps with leaky gut and SIBO.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine and TTFD are safe and nontoxic even in higher doses.   The old "gold standard" diagnosis is changing.  It must be confusing for doctors as well.  I went through all this myself, so I understand the frustration of the vagueness, but set your course and watch as your health improves. Keep us posted on your progress!   P.S. here's another link.... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39642136/

      @knitty kitty I see, thank you!!  Yes, basically the biopsy just said "normal villous architecture."  It didn't give any kind of Marsh score at all, but it sounds like it would be a 0 based on the biopsy report, which is why he's saying it's Latent or Potential celiac.  It's just weird because I know in Europe if I was a child, they wouldn't even do the biopsy, so how does this system make any sense?? I have had an A1c and it's normal.  I do know that I have insulin resistance, however, so there's that. Wow, thank you for all this information!!!  I have a lot of reading to do!

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      That is one issue but the bigger issue may be the human tendency to rationalize it all away without an official diagnosis such that you keep falling off the gluten free bandwagon. But there is the option of going for the gluten challenge in a more robust way and getting retested.
