I'm really missing regular wheat bread and I just wanted to know if anyone knows of any really yummy gluten-free breads/pastas. Some of the ones I've tried have been not so appetizing. Help!

Kinnikinnik breads and other goodies are great. Wholefoods Bakery brand breakds and goodies are also real good.

I like DeBoles pastas!

Manna from Anna has a wonderful bread mix. It is the closest thing to "real bread" that I have found. It actually TOASTS for a grilled cheese!! Awesome stuff. :D

Took the advice from this message board and ordered from Kinnikinnick.com and ordered the sandwich bread and donuts. The bread is better than any I have had so far, actually had sandwiches for the first time since going gluten-free. The donuts are very heavy, one is all you can eat at a time. I got the maple glazed and chocolate glazed. Not quite like going to a donut store, but better than not having donuts at all. I also ordered hamburger buns. They are quite good too. First time I have had a real burger too. It is very expensive, however. For two half loaves of sandwich bread, 8 hamburger buns and 12 donuts, it came to $30 and $10 shipping. I doubt I will order the donuts again, but I do think I will order the bread again sometime.

I like the doughnuts. They ARE heavy, can double as a paperweight is what I always say. However, I think they taste really good!! If you were a doughnut lover before I think you would like them.

I also like the Ener-G doughnuts holes. They aren't bad.

in my opinion...

Best Bread - Sterk's, then Kinnikinnick (I've never tried Manna from Anna) Sterk's is good because it is vaccum packed, no freezing! and it tastes great! umm

Best Pasta - Tinyada

I love Kinnikinnick brand of bread. The Doughnuts are good in my opinion...I like the chocolate glazed.

I love Foods By George English muffins. They come in plain and cinnamon. I like to toast them and but cream cheese or butter and cinnamon on them and they are delicious. I eat them almost every day.

Tinkyada is by far the best pasta that they make. When my mom cooks she uses that and the rest of the family doesnt even know!!! Also not sure if you are on Long Island but a really great Italian Restaruant uses it! :D

Medaka- Thank you for the links, i will definitely check them out!

I love Tinkyada pasta, when I cook with it, no one else realizes it's gluten free! I made a chicken pasta dish for dinner tonight and my hubby who is not gluten-free, ate two huge helpings of it!

for bread I really like Kinnikinick breads and Whole Foods gluten-free bakehouse breads and goodies.

for pizza I get Amy's Organics Rice Crust Cheese Pizza, top it with extra mozzerella cheese, garlic powder, Gluten Free Pantry's Italian seasoning blend, and whatever other toppings I'm in the mood for like Hormel Pepperoni, or sliced mushrooms, black olives, cooked hamburger meat, green peppers, red peppers, onions, pineapples, whatever! After it's done baking, my daughter laughs when I ring the doorbell, pretend it's delivery and yell "Pizza's Here"!!!!! :D:D:D

NINI- that is so cute ringing the doorbell!! ha! I love amy's organics they are wonderful, I love her enchiladas!

Thanks for the tips, I am going to try those soon!

I have had Tinkyada pasta, i went to my cupboard to see what kind of pasta i had and that's what it was. I made cheesy mac and cheese with the little elbows. It was great!! Better than Kraft ;)

yeah, I think Tinkyada pasta is the bestest! When I make mac and cheese I use the small elbows or shells, and after it's cooked and drained I add milk, butter, and slices of Kraft Deli Select American Cheese... YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!! That's another dish that my non gluten-free hubby will scarf down!

My son really likes Original White Bread the mix from The Great Tasting Food Company it is sooo easy to make, we made it with sandwiches, toasted with butter and french toast, all were great it seems to be very versitile. We have also made their brownies and last night I made their lemon poppy cake mix into muffins they were really light and so good my whole family ate them.

Also Foods by George makes really great individual pizzas. They are small but really good.

Their english muffins are really good and very soft. If you like rice cakes, my son uses plain ones or lightly salted and puts sause and melts mozz. cheese on it in the toaster oven and has a little pizza snack.

We have used the Knicknick (sp)? english muffins as hamburger buns and I also made them into garlic bread the other day very yummy.

We are also new to this, not quite 3 weeks and I have gotten so many ideas from this board. Everyone is so helpful....I guess we all know what it's like to be new and have no idea what to eat.

Keep reading, I've found helpful things in each of the topics.

If money is a real issue (it is in our household) and you like breads, try milling your own grains and making your own breads. It is significantly cheaper in the long run. I answered some extensive questions in another post on the milling topic. You should be able to find it by doing a search.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
