Against The Grain's Baguettes

I was shopping at Wegmans recently and picked up some baguettes for $7.99. At first, I thought, "why am I wasting $7.99 on gluten free bread that will lead to yet more disappointment." Well, I stand corrected. Wow, just wow! These baguettes were by far the closest thing I've had to real, flaky, chewy bread since my diagnosis. I highly recommend. I was so excited, I must have eaten three sandwiches for dinner that night. The ingredients include: tapioca flour, mozzarella cheese, eggs, water. Nothing fancy, but whatever ever they are doing, it's great. I forgot to mention the big, chewy air pockets like real bread!

Has anyone else had this product?

I found them at Wegman's and had the same reaction as you did - I can't believe how wonderful they are. Same with the bagels. Absolutely wonderful!

Against the Grain also makes bagels and rolls and can be found in the freezer case. They remind me of croissants in texture. I have used only that brand of rolls since I found them at my local health food store about a year ago. They are also available at Whole Foods Markets in the New England area.

I've noticed recently that the rolls I have been buying do not have the huge air pockets, but are rather fluffy and bread like. Do you think they are using Expandex in their products?

Anyone know if Whole Foods or TJ's carries this? I have tried so many different kinds of breads and don't really like any of them. I miss good bread!

AtG is wonderful. No expandex. They are truly the best available for rolls... To get them in your area ask your favorite store to carry this line. They do not ship themselves , only through United Natural Foods Distributors.They have just been approved for Ohio, Ky , Indiana & I think Il. This bun will hold up to a juciy burger, sloppy joes, ham bb'q & much more.

The baguette makes great french toast, garlic bread, we like Italian deli meats, cheeses & put under the broiler... yum.

Also the newest roll is the pumpernickel , oh my extremely delic.

They will stay in the freezer for a year (if you can keep them that long) . Just bring to room temp. & your are ready to dig in... Be sure not to over heat them in the micro, just a few seconds to take the chill off & thaw.......

You can make reubens also by adding some caraway seeds to your other ingredients.....

I used to drive four hours just to buy these gems.....

ENJOY!!!!!

That is great to know. I just saw them for the first time but chickened out on buying them. I guess I will have to make a trip back to buy them.

They now carry them at Lilit Cafe in Bethesda, MD, for anyone in the Maryland/DC area.

They are about $2 more at Lilit as compared to Wegman's, FYI.

Here is a great tip: Against the grain products are basically chebe bread mix. Google it or better yet find it on Amazon for 17.00- you'll receive 8 packages of this stuff. 1 mix will feed a family for one night or one person for several days.

I tried posting the link, but the mod wouldn't let me.

Good luck

All they're doing is using mozz. instead of the suggested cheddar. This stuff is much cheaper and totally AWESOME.

I don't think they are like Chebe....... our taste must be different. I think they have more of a popover taste.

The buns taste even better than gluten buns. I like the baguettes also. The only thing is there are 15 grams of fat in each bun and the baquettes are high also. I am guessing it is because of the mozzarella cheese. When I tried the buns the first time I ate three without stopping lol, they were so good. Now I watch and limit when I eat them but they are so tempting! BTW, mine were available at a store called Bunn's on Street Road in Feasterville, PA.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By trents · Posted

      Here is an article that gives an overview of all tests that can be used to detect celiac disease:    As you can see, the different tests vary in their degree of specificity and sensitivity. So, it is to be expected that if someone has celiac disease, not all the tests will be positive. Also notice that the tests break down into two large groups, IGA-based tests and IGG-based tests. There is also the EMA (Endomysial Antibodies) which is an older test and has largely been supplanted by he tTG-IGA which is less expensive to administer. So, when you report that the TTG score from your daughter's bloodwork is 22ku/l, we assume you are referring to the tTG-IGA test, which is the most popular test ordered by physicians when checking for celiac disease and considered to be the centerpiece test. However, you do not mention if there was a "total IGA" test run. Whenever the tTG-IGA is ordered, a total IGA should also be ordered to check for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency will result in other IGA test scores, such as the tTG-IGA being artificially low, even falsely negative. This is especially true for young children. This is discussed in the article I linked. If your physician did not order total IGA test, this should have been done. Do you have a recourse for requesting such? I should also mention that you must not withdraw gluten from your toddler's diet until all testing for celiac disease is completed. Doing so would invalidate the testing.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry to hear about your toddler’s recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and I understand how overwhelming it must feel to now be navigating possible celiac disease as well. The slightly elevated TTG antibodies (22 ku/L) with normal endomysial antibodies could indicate a few things—sometimes, mild elevations can occur due to factors other than celiac disease, such as recent infections or even Type 1 diabetes itself. However, the symptoms you’ve noticed (changes in stools, itching, and hair thinning) could potentially align with celiac disease, so it’s understandable why you’re concerned. Since the consultant wants to retest in 3–6 months, it may be because they’re assessing whether the antibody levels persist or increase, which would strengthen the case for further investigation (like a biopsy). In the meantime, if your daughter’s symptoms worsen or you feel uneasy waiting, it’s completely reasonable to ask for an earlier review or a referral to a pediatric gastroenterologist for further advice. Keeping a symptom diary until the next test might also help track any patterns. You’re doing a great job advocating for your little one—trust your instincts and don’t hesitate to push for more clarity if needed. Sending you lots of support.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By mytype1diabetes · Posted

      Hi all, Posting from the UK.  My 2 year old was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. In the UK they routinely screen for coeliac disease. The test showed slightly elevated levels of TTG antibodies. The consultant wants to repeat these antibodies in 3-6 months time to determine clinical significance. In our letter it said "marginally elevated TTG antibodies (22ku/l), normal endomysial antibodies". I'm not exactly sure what this means, especially given one of the tests were within the normal range, and if we should be worried about the numbers. It is difficult to know if she has any "symptoms" but at the time she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes I noticed that her stools had changed. They are now probably a Type 6 on the Bristol stool chart. She seems to be quite itchy which is a recent thing and over the past week I have noticed some hair loss/thinning. I feel very worried and I'm not sure I can wait for her to be retested in 3-6 months time.  I'd appreciate any wisdom, advice or information you have. Thanks 🙏🏼

      Glutened from hair conditioner- check your body products and makeup !

      By slkrav · Posted

      I was feeling really sick last week, for several days I kept thinking I was getting cross contamination. Typical symptoms like not sleeping well at night and waking up with widespread inflammation in all of my joints, foggy head and of course bowel issues. I had read the article recently that was talking about body products. I was starting to get depressed. I was showering and decided to read the ingredients in the products I've been using. It turns out that two of the ingredients in my conditioning hair mask contain GLUTEN. I felt really stupid for not checking before and I threw that away and also checked the ingredients of everything else I've been using. I've heard of skin issues from gluten containing body products, but this opens up a whole new way if being proactive.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I haven't taken blood test for deficiencies yet since self diagnosed but I started a Multi vitamin from reading consumerlabs Nature Made Multivitamin For Her 50+ with No Iron, Womens Multivitamin for Daily Nutritional Support, Multivitamin is actually good for men compared to the mens version since im 47 I figured this should be ok. I also just started taking Kirkland Signature Super B-Complex with Electrolytes which consumerlabs which is an independent lab that tests what is actually in it states this is a good balanced B complex vitamin where its not too much of any vitamin for you to take.  I was thinking of taking the Gluten test after the summer  ut I think if I reintroduce gluten for this test I will be so sick and make things worse. I heard there is a blood test coming in a year that they add gluten to the blood to test which would be nice but prob in a year or 2.
