I have recently been diagnosed with celiac disease. I am wondering what you would recommend as "the best" gluten-free hamburger buns and white bread (pre-made) and where I can find them. I like soft, white bread (use to eat Soft-N-Good bread). Thanks.

You can't find a perfect gluten-free bread, but the best two are Kinnickinick and the Ener-G tapioca loaf.

yeah there is really no perfect gluten-free bread but there are some pretty good ones out there. I personally like Kinnikinnick and Foods by George which taste normal to me.

1. Kinnikinnick (Easily the best)

2. Glutino

Personally, I think Ener-G's products are comparable to dry cardboard...JMO

The bread problem has haunted me from the beginning of being gluten-free free :(2 years). Last week my order arrived from Outside The Breadbox. What a pleasure! The jalapeno was out standing. Their bagels are also perfect and I have heard their hamburger buns are the best but no personal experience on that product. If you do order from them, include the snickedoodle cookies. Another piece of information should be added here. They use only pure butter and order their flours from all over the world assuring the best available. The bakery is located in Colorado Springs.

Don't mean to be a downer, but I've never particularly cared for any gluten-free bread. IMO, the Kinnickinnick (sp?) is too greasy. Maybe it's better toasted? I've never tried it that way. And it is so expensive to ship ($10!) that you have to order a lot to make it worthwhile, and stale frozen bread is not very appealing to me. Maybe I"ll try the Outside the Breadbox for a change. Oh, but I do like EnerG tapioca loaf, but ONLY toasted! I freeze it too, despite it telling me not to on the package. It lasts longer. Otherwise it sweats and gets a mushy coating on it - yuck!

I like kinnikinnick flavor, but the hamburger buns are SOO thick, can hardly get your mouth around them with a burger inside of them. I have heard of people who slice them into 2 buns (4 pieces) and it works much better. I haven't tried that yet. I kinda gave up on the prepared bread issue. I do sandwich wraps with lettuce or just roll up the lunchmeat.

There is also a recipe called peanut butter and jelly bread. It is good for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but that's about it. It is more like a quick bread than a yeast bread (no yeast in it). I can't remember who posted it on this site. I can repost it if anyone wants it.

I do like Manna from Anna (it is a mix). You can actually toast the bread and make a grilled cheese out if it without it being soggy or cardboardey.

Whole Foods Market does make some really delicious gluten-free baked goods. I got some biscuits at one in NJ last week. They were wonderful!

As far as hamburger buns go, I haven't really had a lot of experience with those, I usually just wrap my burger in Romaine or Green leaf lettuce, which is actually a really good way to eat them. I did buy some carmalized onion rolls made by Gillian's Foods that are great heated up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. I used one today for a bun on a turkey sandwich. They are probably the perfect size for a hamburger bun.

WE love the Kinnickinnick breads (and other stuff!), but it is better toasted. It is very moist if you don't toast it, I never thought of it as greasy...If you toast it just slightly then you can still use it for sandwiches and it is not so moist. I love grilled sandwiches with it!! And the white sandwich bread is GREAT as french toast! I am buying for 6 people who are gluten-free, so we order over $100 worth each month, of breads, pizza crust, bagels, english muffins, rolls, muffins and donuts. For me $10 is a bargain!

I do plan to try the Whole Foods baked items when they get to the West Coast. Until then I am happy with Kinnickinnick. It is so much better than the cardboard we have eaten from other brands!

God bless,

Mariann

I was also looking for the best breads, english muffins and hamburger buns. Well in my search for the perfect english muffin I found a gread hamburger bun. I bought the Kinnikinnick english muffin and it is perfect for a hamburger bun! I will stick to my foods by George english muffins which are good but thick, sometimes we just slice them in thirds, but they are good and soft, now the other will be my hamburger bun just improvising :rolleyes:

Hope this helps.

Roo,

I totally agree with you! The Kinnikinnick english muffins would make a perfect hamburger bun! They are so light and fluffy and when toasted are perfect for this! I was just thinking the same thing, when I read your post. I just wish there were more than 4 in the pack!!

God bless,

Mariann

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!
