Hi everyone.

I went to Tesco's last night and from their "free from" range I made an amazing discovery.

"Genius" Gluten Free Bread.

I cooked it tonight for the first time and I was left SPEECHLESS!!!

It was amazing, beautiful and in my opinion, better than any normal bread I have ever eaten.

It cut perfectly to form slices and toasted a dream!!! Topped with some strawberry jam, I was in heaven!! Amazing how something like this has made me write this.

The website is Open Original Shared Link and there is a competition on there to win a years supply!! It has a 4 day "use by" period, but in my opinion, its worth it. It was

I saw this bread on-line recently and am glad you mentioned them. I am traveling to the UK this Fall for a 2 week vacation and hope they have this in the Whole Foods in London! Sounds excellent!

You don't even need t go to whole foods-they have it in the regular grocery stores (sansburys too). London is the absolute best for gluten-free :)

..in fact Genius is now available in all the major supermarkets..

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda's and now Morrison's.

Another one to look out for is Marks & Spencers new gluten-free range including their own bread.

Thumbs up in our house! :D

I live in Boston, Massachusetts and we have incredible gluten-free options here. Lots of restaurants do gluten-free menu's and most of the large chain grocery stores have gluten-free sections now.

This will be my 8th trip to London and that's one of the major reasons I come back.....aside from the fact I love that city! I have never had any problems finding good food to eat and no one has looked at me cross-eyed when I say gluten free. You gotta love that!

I have heard that UK Starbucks are going to be carrying Genius bread for their gluten-free sandwiches.

You mean I could get a sandwich in the UK at Starbuck's and all I can get here in the US are some Kind bars or cookies that are just OK? :blink: I am so mad that Starbuck's got rid of the orange almond cake....that was really good. I also think that Americans tendency to complain and sue may be at the root cause of the problem here. In the UK, if you sue someone and lose, you have to pay the legal costs of the person you are suing. That dramatically cuts down on frivolous lawsuits. We know there are too many of those in the States and I really think that is what is keeping many items out of stores.

I will have to hit Bucky's in London and see what they have to offer.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
