Help Picking Gluten Free Bread Mix


kotsu

Recommended Posts

I've been looking for a good gluten free bread mix but have not been able to find a good one. Can someone recommend a good gluten-free mix?

My body's pretty picky. Here are some of the things I'm looking for in a gluten-free bread mix:

  • No inulin / chicory root extract: Gives me tons of gas for days (usually used to add fiber to the bread)
  • No evaporated cane sugar: This gives me tons of gas as well. Sends the candida out of control. I'd prefer to find a mix where I have to add the sugar.
  • Decent amount of fiber: At least 4% Dailly Value. I hate brands with 0% fiber.
  • Easily/moderately digestible: This kind of goes with fiber. I hate brands that give you a hard loaf at the end. I prefer soft, moist bread.
  • Decent taste: Of course, I'd like the bread to taste good.
  • Yeast Free (optional): Would be nice if it was yeast free but it isn't a deal breaker.

I've only tried two bread mixes...Bob's Red Mill Wonderful Homemade Bread, which I found not to be so wonderful and their Cinnamon Raisin Bread, also not wonderful (for my taste at least).

Have you thought of starting from scratch? I'm still searching for a "go to" recipe but at least you get to control the ingredients if you find out that avoids the ingredients you don't want to use.

Have you checked out any of the Gluten Free Pantry mixes? Udi's ready made is free of all that you name if you want a ready made bread. Pamela's Baking mix is also a possiblity at least for biscuits and such. I also like Tom Sawyer flour mix but you would add your own rising agent.

I gave up on the store bought bread and bread mixes. I visited this link Open Original Shared Linkand made the Multi Grain Sandwich Bread. I have tweaked the recipe in many ways, but the recipe is pretty good just as it is. She also has lots of suggestions about making a successful loaf. One tip. Always make sure the bread is baked to 205 degrees or it will be gummy inside.

I make several batches of the dry ingredients (my own "mix") at one time so all I have to do is gather the wet ingredients when I want to make a loaf. It keeps well in the fridge for a full week. When it is first baked it is good without toasting, then starting the next day I always toast it.

Ditto for the inulin and chicory. Owwwww!!!!

cellulose gum, salt. Makes 6 loaves. Bread maker recipe on package.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
