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,

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

Roo,

You took the words right out of my mouth..... Kinnickinnick (sp?) tapioca english muffins are to die for and are excellent as hamburger buns also. They are awesome toasted with jam and peanut butter on them!!!

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Hello fellow coeliacs and a Happy New Year I'd appreciate some advice. In December I gave up junk food and ate a new healthy diet, which had a lot of gluten-free oats, nuts, oranges in it, and a quite a lot of black coffee, rather than my usual lattes etc. After a week or so I felt awful bubbling and bloating in the area which I would say is the...

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK. Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs. If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello fellow coeliacs and a Happy New Year I'd appreciate some advice. In December I gave up junk food and ate a new healthy diet, which had a lot of gluten-free oats, nuts, oranges in it, and a quite a lot of black coffee, rather than my usual lattes etc.  After a week or so I felt awful bubbling and bloating in the area which I would say is the ascending and transverse colon.  Earlier in the day it might start with stabbing pain, maybe just two or three 'stabs', or a bit of an ache in my pelvis area, and then by the evening replaced with this awful bloated feeling.   I can still fit into all my clothes, there isn't any visible bloating but a feeling of bloating builds from early afternoon onwards.  The pain and bloating has always gone by the morning.  BMs normal.   I went back to my normal diet over Christmas, for a couple of days things improved, but the bubbling and bloating then came back with a vengeance.  I'm having an ultrasound in a couple of weeks to check my pelvic area and if that is clear I suspect may have to have a colonoscopy, but is there anything anyone can recommend to calm this bloating down.  I have been given an additional diagnosis of IBS in the past but it has never been this severe.   I have to confess that I might have had some gluten over Christmas, I ate a lot of Belgium chocolates which were meant to be gluten free but the small print reveals that they were made in a shared facility, so I have probably brought this all on myself!

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
