:lol::lol::lol: Oops, you didn't get that memo?

I don't eat a lot a bread, but I have found that Kinnikinnick Foods make the best loaf bread and english muffins. You can find them at www.kinnikinnick.com

If you microwave it you might be able to choke it down. My DS actually likes the stuff. I vote for the Kinnikinnick myself.

:lol: :lol: :lol: It's not the best, I agree. But my son likes it, and eats it every day. So I buy it by the case from Amazon. I think it's actually really good for grilled sandwiches. I think Kinnikinnick is the best pre-made bread.

Ah, thanks for the tip. I'll have to look into this Kinikin stuff. Perhaps I can make this into some french toast?

My daughter likes it okay but prefers the rice starch loaf. She hasn't much choice given her food allergies. She likes the bread toasted and topped with faux butter (allergic to the real stuff), cinnamon and sugar.

Just think of it as a rite of initiation. Now you are one of us. :lol:

You may want to go to that thread where people list wretched gluten-free products. I think the worst is Holgrain rice crackers. At least the animals ate the EnerG bread when I put it out. The crackers (which have the consistency and taste of styrofoam) just sat there for weeks. Animals have some standards, I guess. Those crackers didn't even biodegrade. I just buried them under the mulch. Next spring I'll look and see if they are still there in their pristine glory ...

:D:D:D When you do be sure to take a picture. I have no doubt they will be sitting there in all their glory. I tried those once and would rather have eaten the box they came in, at least that would have tasted a bit better.

Ah man, I may have to buy some of those crackers just to try them out. :lol:

I have to agree that stuff is awful. Another good one is the whole foods brand sandwich bread. Haven't actually tried making a sandwich with it but it makes pretty good toast. First time I tried it I didn't like it but it grows on you. I actually kind of look forward to having toast now.

And ridgewalker, great name for your four year old son. :D

The only thing worse than Holgrain cracker is NUworld amaranth cereal. Tastes like pure dirt!!

too true :D

what i did with mine is made it into a turkey meatball dish. actually turned out really good, after soaking the bread in milk. i've got the rest of the loaf freezing until i find another good recipe to use it in.

My aunt actually bought me a loaf of EnerG bread when I went to visit her. I opened it up and took one bite - just couldn't get any more down. My aunt commented that the bread smelled awful and was making her sick. I took it outside and crumbled it up for the birds. They wouldn't even eat it. :D

Yep, not the best bread. Before I found the grainless baker, it was the bread I tolerated....I would toast it which would disguise some of the foul strange taste.

Now I use the grainless baker sandwich bread.

Call me crazy but I don't mind the Tapioca Lite Loaf. Of course, like all of them, I toast it to make it more palletable. My son takes it in school lunches and likes it as well as any - it holds up anyway.

Haha.. I saw the name of this post and I had to check it out..and when I read 'wow this stuff is FOUL' I could not help but laugh. I was SOO excited to try my first gluten free bread (I must have been high on some left over gluten in my system) and that is what I bought. Needless to say, I thought it 'wasn't that bad...maybe' but Im pretty sure I was trying to think reallly positive. I tried it a second time, and I couldnt keep it down! Very disappointing...I have however discovered some glutino english muffins that I find to be soo delicious! They are soft and squishy and taste actually good when toasted! Im still on a search for excellent bread though...

Well - They say one person's trash is another person's treasure. ;)

I hate that bread too. But don't throw it out. You can use it as breadcrumbs or cubes to stuff the holiday turkey with. It works well for that.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?
    • trents
      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
