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.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
