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.!!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
