Just recently diagnosed. I don't have any symptoms but my son did and was diagnosed first. He is only 6 and hasn't had the year of experiance with the good food. Any suggestions on the bread???

Yes! The absolute best gluten-free bread we've had is a homemade recipe found here: Open Original Shared Link

The recipe above is versatile- I make hamburger rolls out of it, and dinner rolls as well. My son takes a PB&J sandwich on the hamburger roll to school every day. It's also forgiving- people make all kinds of substitutions, and it pretty much always works. The only substitution I make is, I use sorghum flour instead of garfava. The ingredient list may look intimidating, but trust me it's WORTH it. I keep the dry ingredients mixed in ziploc bags in the fridge, to pull out when I need it.

The best premade bread in MY opinion is Kinnikkinick, which is in the frozen section at Whole Foods.

What other things are you looking for? I have a really good pizza crust recipe I'll post if you want it. I also have a good chocolate cake/cupcake recipe- much cheaper than buying a mix.

I have two boys- both on a gluten-free diet. One is 4 1/2, the other will be 7 in a month.

IMHO the best premade bread is Kinnikinnick's cheese tapioca bread. It has to be toasted lightly though to taste good. You can get it shipped to you from www.kinnikinnick.com. Their donuts and bagels are also amazing, so stock up.

You may also want to try the Gluten Free Pantry's favorite sandwich bread. Its really good and its super easy to make.

I agree about the above bread recipe--it really is the best.

But a very close second (and a WAY faster and easier recipe!!!) is this (and start to finish, it is really 30 minutes or less!!!!!):

gluten-free--Flaxmeal Skillet Bread

This is adapted from The Wheat-Free Cook - Gluten-Free Recipes for Everyone

I have to also vote for Kinnickinick. My favorites are the Italian white bread and the Pizza shells. I use the pizza shells with hummous as well as pizza toppings. Be sure not to forget that almost all of our breads need to be nuked or toasted for the best texture. I didn't realize that the first year and my poor DD got to take sandwiches to school that fell to pieces with the first bite.

Our best luck with bread has been Chebe. We use the kind you add cheese to. Even the non-gluten-free eaters we know love the stuff!

We haven't had much luck with sandwich bread, but my daughter does like the white sandwich bread by kinnickinnick for toast.

The best bread I have had is Against the Grain. It comes in baguettes, bagels and roll. Whole Foods has it, at least the Boston ones do. It is made in Vermont. I believe the have a website. If not I can get you there info. It contains, tapioca starch, eggs, mozzerella and salt. Incredible. My son who is not gluten free won't eat any other bread excpect this one.!!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
