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!

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      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--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
