Move over Udi's, I've just made my first batch of Chebe. I made the regular rolls, the little round ones. omg... {faint} -- they're crusty and chewy and soft in the middle, just what I've missed in bread. I had to keep myself from eating them all at once because I want to save some for lunch. I'm going to put some butter and cheese on them, one of my favorite things. Yeah, not overly healthy. But I don't care! lol..

And, I'm thinking that this will make a good communion bread. I tried dunking it in my coffee and it did NOT fall apart!

It's the little things that make it easier to cope with all that celiac entails. I've been feeling sorry for myself lately and this has cheered me up. (this, plus all the yummy grits recipes you all provided! :) ) B)

Chebe is so heavenly! I made the cheesy little rolls for Thanksgiving dinner and they got wiped out in no time! Their pizza crust is amazing too. I bake it in a 12 inch cast iron skillet and it's perfect!

Rachel, I had to order it on Amazon since there was no where near me that sold it. And, by ordering it like that I had to order a case -- eight packs of mix, I think. I hated to order that many without ever tasting it ahead of time, but based on all the rave reviews I decided I'd try it. SO glad I did. :)

I haven't tried Chebe, but I had the WORLDS BEST GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SANWICH for supper tonight. I found Rudi's gluten-free bread. (I have loved Udi's but OMG-Rudi!!) I toasted a piece the other day and it was reallly good. Then, I tried to make a sandwich and I was disappointed. But tonight, I got home late, had to grocery shop and was starving. I pulled out the ham and cheese I just bought and decided to try a grilled sandwich. It was OUT of this WORLD! Soft, perfect for grilled cheese!! HMMMM...I'm drooling even now! :lol:

Chebe is my favorite gluten-free food BY FAR. My husband and I go through so many packages a month we buy it in bulk now. I took it for Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family and they like it too. I would have loved it before I went gluten-free, I think.

My favorite way to eat it is with tacos. Just split it open and put a little bit of taco meat in there. Yummmm so good. I am going to try making it as hamburger buns soon.

Here is a link to another topic to a recipe that you can make these from scratch. I buy Ener G brand tapioca starch in a case of 12 now because my family has me make these so much.

The Chebe bread stick mix is great! I made it for Xmas dinner and the gluten eaters gobbled them up. We used shredded Asiago instead of grated parm. Halfway thru the baking, we brushed them with olive oil and sprinkled garlic salt & garlic powder. They would be good with pizza sauce to dip.

Also, fun for kids to make. You roll them in your hands like a play dough snake. Paint on the olive oil & sprinkle.

No, That's the cost for a case, eight packs. It's slightly cheaper on Amazon. :)

Isn't it great? I recently figured out how to duplicate the pizza crust mix using tapioca flour. I use a food scale, put about a teaspoon of dried oregano, half a teaspoon of garlic powder, half a teaspoon of onion powder, and a teaspoon of kosher salt in the bowl on the scale. Then I add tapioca flour until it weighs the weight on the Chebe bag (I think it's 7 oz?). Then I add the other ingredients (eggs, parm, oil, almond milk) and make it like the package. I save so much money doing this because I can get a 1 lb bag of tapioca flour at the international foods store for under $2. Chebe was costing me $6-7 per 7 oz bag. I haven't tried to make their bread and other products like this, but it works for the pizza crust for sure. Tastes just like the Chebe pizza crust mix. Yum!

That's a good tip, I'll remember that. I bought my Chebe online so it comes out to about $2.50 per package which isn't bad. I have yet to venture into any of the Asian or other international markets we have around here, but I really need to do that! :)

$2.50 is a really good price! I may have to check out that site that starts with A for other things. I bought my first couple bags of Chebe from my local Allergy friendly store. I really do want to keep supporting them, but the mark-up is so high it kills me to buy everything there. I will keep making my tapioca pizza crust from scratch however because I can't tell the difference between it and Chebe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
