I do have to agree about the Katz Gluten Free Challah, that is the first gluten-free bread that I have purchased and eaten. I haven't tried Udi's, but everyone raves about how good it is, glad to know that someone else shares my thoughts on Katz's!!

I tried Kinickkinick gluten-free bread recently and like it. It is soy free unlike a lot of others (Udi's etc). I used to like Glutino fiber bread but they say on the label may contain traces of soy. So not doing that now. There is a thread on microwave bread or buns that you can search on started by Lonewolf. If you just want a quick bun it is easy to make.

And look, I didn't even mention the wheat paste on wooden barrels thing once...

I really haven't liked any of the store bought breads I have tried. So I have gotten into baking my own gluten free bread and am having a lot of success. Unlike the store bought breads my bread is delicious, rises really high, is light and can be eaten untoasted.

Baking your own bread is a bit time consuming - so when i measure out the ingredients I do four of five batches of the combined dry ingredients (except the yeast) and store them in zip lock bags. Then all I have to do is add the yeast and wet ingredients, mix, rise and bake.

I don't have a bread machine, but apparently they make the process a lot easier.

Baking is very therapeutic and relaxing and being able to eat decent bread makes it totally worthwhile.

I would love to know your recipe (as I'm sure many on here would), please share it with us!

I'm lucky enough to have a gluten free bakery near my home, so I can't comment on the bread, although sometimes in a pinch I do buckle down and use the TJ's rice bread. I also eat rice cakes a lot. It's a bit cheaper than buying from the gluten-free bakery. I'm also considering getting a breadmaker and making my own.

As for the wine. I don't have any problems at all with any wine. I will say this, though, I've been gluten free for about 8 months now and the first couple months my stomach was in horrible shape from all the damage. It took a long time before I could tolerate anything remotely acidic. The sulfites also add to headaches. I persoannly love wine, so I'm glad I can tolerate it. I'd say give it some time. Hope this helps.

      My celiac symptoms are extra-digestive; if I had to classify them, I’d say they are predominantly neurological: extreme fatigue that prevents me from making physical or intellectual effort, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, clumsy movements, pain… When I’m at my worst, I notice that some people behave hostilely toward me: they speak to me rudely, become authoritarian, belittle me, look at me and treat me with contempt… This made me question many aspects of my life and how others perceived me: What was it about me that seemed to bother others so much? What could I do to fix it? Paying closer attention, when I was sicker, others saw me as cold, distant, as not talking too much, less engaged, apathetic, sad… All of this, far from being intentional, was just how my symptoms—and my attempt to cope with them—manifested to others. But objectively, was my behavior harmful or detrimental to anyone? Did I deserve the treatment some people were giving me? No, my behavior doesn’t harm anyone, and if someone feels uncomfortable, the solution would be to walk away, not to treat me like s$#&. And here are the unanswered questions: What leads a person to interpret illness symptoms as something offensive? What kind of issues do these people have? How are people with degenerative or other types of illnesses who are in a situation of dependency treated? Am I the only one these things happen to?

      I was wondering if your shakes and off balance went away after stopping gluten?

      Thanks, yall! The tough part now is figuring out if I’m actually feeling better or is it some form of placebo effect. I do actually feel better but I’m not positive if I may just be gaslighting myself lol

      @drjay in addition to what @trents wrote, I wanted to comment on your statement, "Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02 but negative for DQ8" You don't need DQ2 >and< DQ8 in order to be susceptible to getting celiac. Either one is good enough. DQB1*02 is a specific genetic allele that encodes part of the DQ2 protein. "Homozygous" means two copies of the same allele (the opposite is "heterozygous", where the two copies are different alleles). If you are homozygous for DQB1*02, you couldn't have DQ8. In other words, your genetic test tells you that you definitely have the potential to get celiac.

      @drjay, your mixed test results experience is exceedingly common for someone having been consuming reduced amounts of gluten. A Marsh scale score of 3 indicates "significant villous atrophy" according to a quick google search I did and the biopsy is the gold standard diagnostic test anyway, not the blood antibody testing. It doesn't look like a "total IGA" blood test was ordered and without that we cannot tell if you are IGA deficient. If IGA deficient, other celiac IGA antibody scores, such as the tTG-IGA, cannot be trusted. They will likely be artificially low. And given the fact that there is significant improvement in your symptoms once you went on a strict gluten free diet, there is no doubt in my mind that your doctor's diagnosis of celiac disease is the correct one. By the way, welcome to celiac.com.!
