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!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
