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!!!!

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
