Hi

Here in norway there is no real glutenfree bread, most of the bread contains wheat starch.

I have found out that I can order bread from Ener-G.

Ener-G High Fibre White Loaf

Ener-G Flax Loaf

Ener-G Raisin Loaf

Ener-G Rice Loaf (Yeast Free)

Ener-G Six Flour Loaf

Ener-g Tapioca Bread gluten Free

Does some if this bread taste good? Or ar they very "dry" and fall apart?

I like the tapioca bread out of all of those. It does tend to be a bit dry, but I find that toasting it or microwaving it slightly helps with that. Then I add lots of butter or other condiments. The good news is, it travels very well.

Ugh, Ener-G bread is pretty awful, unless you like sawdust and bricks :P

You might look into Enjoy Life bread or even Glutino. They are marginally better.

On the Karina's Kitchen weblog, she has a recipe for bread that is very easy - it is one of the latest blogs on her site. (Sorry I don't have the link - blogs are blocked here at work). I made it the other day, subbed flax, buckwheat, and amaranth for the millet flour (which I didn't have). It made a nice ciabbata style bread in an 8-inch cake pan. It tasted great and has stayed nice and moist for three days. I used it for a sandwich on the second day and it was very good!

I also like Chebe products if you can find them. They make a nice chewy bread.

Other than that, I have lost most of my taste for bread products which amazes me because I loved bread in the past. I really don't miss it now, but do like the occasional treat.

They make some that my daughter prefers but they're not on that list. Of those listed, she does like the tapioca. To serve it, she likes it put in the microwave until it is very hot to the touch. Makes it much softer.

Tapicoca Bread is the best, but it must be toasted.

If you're going to mail-order something from the states, I'd strongly recommend a bread mix rather than a loaf of bread. Or a recipe, if you don't want to order mixes.

Gluten-free bread is actually EASIER to make than gluten bread. It's not any harder than making a cake, or cookies. All you really need is a good sturdy mixer. I use a Bosch, which I'm sure you can get over there. It's made in Germany, I believe. I love-love-love it.

I've been relying pretty heavily on the Bob's Red Mill Wonderful Homemade Bread Mix. I have some in the oven right now, in fact.

I have yet to find a store-bought bread that's worth eating, let alone spending $4+ per loaf for.

The Bob's Red Mill mix costs between $4 and $5, and it makes me 2 loaves of bread (my bread pans are slightly smaller than the one recommended on the package, so if I try to make one loaf it comes out pretty weird).

I want to try the Gluten Free Pantry bread mix, too. After that, I think I'll start experimenting with recipes.

gluten-free bread is not easier to make and gluten bread.

I do not work as a baker but I make a lot of Gluten-free Casein-free bread for my friends. I get orders off 10 bread at a time so I bake a lot off them.

But I don't agree that its easyer.. I have found a good recipes that usuly works but it havent been easy. The bread want rise, its raw inside ++ We dont have so much flour mixes in my country as you have in the US.

I visited US last year and went to a small healthstore. And it felt like I was in heaven. I have never seen so much gluten-free food at one place. So many bread, coocikes, flour mixes, pasta ++ It took me over 1 hour before I drew back to the hotell. I bought som rice bread that tasted very good.

The reason I ask off the ener-G bread is that its a bit easyer to take travel with. Beacuse its wrapped in plastic and hold much longer. My bread fall apart if they ar older then 4 days, and it not always easy to find gluten-free bread. Specilly not in europe because they use wheat starch in it and calls it glutenfree :angry:

I am on SCD diet so I can not eat the bread but Im asking beacause of my friends with autistic kids on Gluten-free Casein-free diet.

Maybe I will order som of the bread so the kids can try them. If they like them it good but I dont now.

My kids like the raisin bread if it's toasted and they like the tapioca bread made into grilled sandwiches.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
