Need Help For A Picky Eater

Can anyone suggest good brands of gluten-free bread, pasta, and/or frozen waffles? I am ridiculously picky - always have been - and haven't been able to find any that I like at all. Plenty of other things I can eat, but it would sure be nice to find some bread-type products to have.

Thanks!

Hi zoogirl.

We like Udi's bread and baked goods, Tinkyada pasta and Van's waffles (they also make regular waffles so make sure to read the package). I have had good luck with gluten-free Bisquick for pancakes, garlic cheese biscuits and peach cobbler.

I second Udi's plus Grainless Baker for premade. Gluten Free Pantry makes a French Bread Mix that is really good for pizza crusts but I usually use Kinnickinnick premade pizza crusts as they come 4 to a package for about $9. For crackers I like Glutino and the Snyders new gluten-free pretzels are good and a little less pricey than some of the other brands.

I love Udi's bread. The cinnamon and raisin bread is really good for french toast. I am on a long break from pasta since I was just glutened by some so called gluten free. I bought a 10 dollar waffle maker at Target and make my own waffles out of the gluten free bisquick. They are really good.

Thanks for all the suggestions! :) I have some Udi's bread in my freezer that I've been afraid to try after my last few purchases and I finally found gluten-free Bisquick at the grocery store just now. So, I'm excited to try out some of their recipes. Yea! I miss my Eggo waffles in the worst way - a couple of those with some peanut butter was my go to breakfast. I'll have to give the Bisquick version a try.

Hmmm... tried the gluten-free Bisquick pizza crust tonight. :( Not too crazy about it. Everything just seems to have this same funky aftertaste to it that I can't get past. I'm going to try your idea of cutting it in half for a thinner crust though. It was really thick - maybe that will help.

I made a pizza once using gluten-free Bisquick...and didn't like it at all. The sauce soaked into the crust. I didn't notice an aftertaste but the crust tasted more like a biscuit, not a pizza crust. That may be due to the fact that it lacked yeast. On the other hand, I think the pancakes were really good.

If you have Gluten Free Pantry mixes where you are try their French Bread mix, the pizza crust recipe is on the box. I like thick crusts so I use one box for one crust although they do say to split the 'dough' onto two pans. It took a bit for me to get used to having to use a spatula to spread the dough, I oil the spatula to get it to spread easier.

I haven't tried Bisquick for pizza crust but the first time I made bisquits all I could taste was egg. Someone here suggested just using the egg whites instead of the whole egg and that worked much better.

We eat the Bisquick pizza crust once a week and it's delicious! Try this, add twice as much italian seasoning and 1 cup of grated parm cheese (Kraft in the shaker) It makes a huge difference.

I'll definitely try that! It wan't horrible, but just not quite right. Maybe these tweaks will make it just right. Thanks!

I'll look for that mix. I think I've seen it at one of our stores around here. Thanks!

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
