Ok, I am sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it. I really miss bread!!! So does anyone have a good recipe or a brand I can pick up at a store? Love to have any help on this.

Thanks

I am not much of a bread eater and haven't tried any gluten free bread yet, but the general conclusion that I have read on here is that Udi's is one of the best. Not sure where to find it, and do not know from personal experience, just sharing what I have read so far.

Good Luck!

`Udi's bread is wonderful. If you have a whole foods near by they have several breads in the bakery. We like this bread for grilled sandwiches. Some people like Schar breads. For mixes: a popular bread mix is Anna's Bread Mixes, Sisters three ( a new kid on the block) Has a good white gluten-free bread.

Do you get Living Without? They have a very good bread recipe & another is Lorka's bread found in the recipe section of this site. (Laurie Crater) she also has a cookbook.

Two good cookbooks with breads recipes that are excellent are: Baking Classics by Annalise Roberts, she also has a bread machine cookbook as well. Elizabeth Barbone's cookbook as well.

I live in north Dallas, and the Udi brand is fantastic. I can buy it frozen at Sprouts or fresh at Whole Foods. Their bagels are wonderful - just like real bagels. Unfortunately they are having some issues with the bagel packaging and have discontinued them, but promise they will be back.

My husband who loves white bread gave in and tasted my Usi white bread toated with some peanut butter and said it was delicious...

Thank you all for your replies! I went this weekend to look at our Nature's Pantry (Kansas City) and found Udi's bread and Blueberry muffins. I had the BB muffins this monring, WOW, that was better than regulat BB muffins! I was so surprised! I look forward to trying the bread tonight. Thank you so much.

mamaw thanks for all that info. That was very helpful. I plan to try to make my own bread again sometime. I have failed in the past so I am nervous about "wasting" ingredients again.

Glutino makes some good breads and I believe english muffins. I can get them here in Canada at our local grocery stores in the freezer section. Have also found a great pizza crust - kinnikinnick

I like Gluton's bagels, and pizza. My favorite bread so far is Wunder Bread by Liberty Baker. They are local for me (Central Florida), my Whole Foods carries them and they are on-line as well.

I absolutey LOVE "Bob's Red Mill: Homemade Wonderful Bread" It comes in a mix and its easy to add a few ingredients then toss it in the bread machine(or oven would work) It comes out NORMAL sized, plus its suuuper soft and has awesome texture! I looove it its like white wheat bread. Yum!:) Plus we add flax, walnuts, gluten-free oats and quinoa flakes to make it more whole-wheat like(my old fave)

Here in KC, we have an bakery Olivias Oven. I know they sell in Hyvees. They make the best donut holes. Look them up & it tells you the days they deliver so you can get it fresh.

I have recently discovered the Grainless Baker. They make French baguettes that are very much like the real thing. I use them to make garlic toast. My available gluten-free foods are very limited, but I do order Grainless Baker from the Gluten Free Mall.

In addition to Udi's white bread (on sale through today at Whole Foods), their pizza crust is awesome. I used to buy kinnikinnik crust until I found udi's. Even my dh and kids will eat Udi's food. I love Udi's cinnamon rolls - slightly warm with cream cheese on top.

My favorite gluten free bread is Kinnikinnick white bread. When toasted, it tastes like "real" bread. I buy it in Kroger and it is from a company in Canada.

I absolutely LOVE Bobs Red Mill gluten free corn bread- i am a bread LOVER, i used to live off toast and cheezits so this gluten free thing is hard lol

I love Pamela's! I may send her a love letter. I bought the mix at Whole Foods and used my bread machine which I just got at Amazon for $50 (+ free shipping). I have eaten more bread in the past few weeks than I have in my entire life! I like the Bob's Red Mill mixes and I also love this recipe (love this blog in general): Open Original Shared Link

I have never been a baker. I hate to bake. However the bread machine is a godsend. You just plop everything in and 3 hours later you have amazing bread. I freeze slices of bread, crumbs and croutons for those weeks I don't feel like baking anything.

Love the frozen Kinnikinnik (sp?) pizza dough. We even use them to make garlic bread. Haven't had Udi's but will see if my Whole Foods carries them.

For crackers I like the Glutino crackers and Veggie Chips (a potato based chip).

*Oh and you don't need a bread machine for the mixes I posted above. They each have non machine instructions.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
