Can any one tell me of a good store bought bread that isn't a crumbly mess when I toast it and put butter on it?

oh, you are so going to be inundated with responses! But that's a good thing. :D I find that glutino bread toasts really well, as does the Kinnikinnick. You say you are in Cali - any chance southern cali in the LA area? There is a FANTASTIC gluten free bakery in culver city called "the sensitive baker." Gluten AND casein free. Totally, totally worth it, even if you have to drive to stock up. The "food for life" bread is a disaster.

Udi's for sure!

Whole Foods has gluten-free bread in the bakery section, we use it for french toast,stuffing , toast & great for grilled cheese.

Pamela's has a good gluten-free bread mix

Sisters Three ( new kid on the block) has a good white bread mix.

Some like the Schaar bread

Sandwich: Udi's, hands down winner. Katz is also a good brand

French Bread: Against the Grain (excellent products; rolls, pizza crust and Baguettes)

Both the above are good eaten cold or warmed.

All found in the frozen section or order online.

Best to talk your local health food store into carry these products to save on shipping.

Today I found an incredibly good loaf of bread (frozen) at my local health food store in Greencastle, PA. It's made by The Grainless Baker and is called Flax Seed Bread. It was expensive at $7.99 a loaf but it is sooo good. I toasted a piece when I got home and just slathered butter on it. Yummy! Open Original Shared Link

I figured worse case scenario that I would make bread crumbs out of it if I found it to be inedible. It's possible that Martin's/Giant may carry it as they have a lot of gluten-free products and the company is located in PA. I don't eat a lot of bread but sometimes I just want it. I love whole grain breads and didn't want the plain ol' sandwich breads.

Anyone out there from Vancouver, B.C. who can answer this same question (lol - I hate my bread/toast going all crumbly, too!)

When I went to the gluten-free store for the first time I was led straight to the Udi's. I miss real bread, but Udi's is as close as it gets. I was surprised at how well it toasted. A bit of peanut butter and I almost (almost) forgot that it was gluten free.

You can buy udi's online or ask your local health store to order it and save on shipping. It is GREAT, I don't miss bread at all because of Udi's!!!

ok guys, I am going to have to order some of this Udi's bread because everyone is raving. But I have one question. I saw on their website that they have granola. I couldn't tell easily if this granola was gluten free too? I am particularly interested in the granola nuggets. Thanks!!

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @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.
