not sure if this is the right section but my wife just started her gluten-free diet. We are having a really tough time finding a good bread. we have made our own and bought a few that didnt turn out well. Ive googled a few bakeries in my area (philadelphia) and there are some options but nothing real close. Before i make any trips i was hoping to get some info from some people who have been down this road. Thanks

Good luck with that! I've found that the zucchini bread recipe posted in the recipe section on this website turns out well every time. But I've had little luck at all in getting an edible bread otherwise. Daughter likes Ener-G but most people don't. Mostly though she prefers Teff Wraps for sandwiches.

Have you tried Udi's or Rudi's gluten-free breads? A lot of people like those brands. Be careful with Rudi's though as they also make non gluten-free breads, too. I prefer to bake my own bread and experiment with different recipes. I think of it as a challenge...and it is. :lol:

There are many many options in Philly & NJ for gluten-free, dining out & shopping... Plus there is a large group there... The NCFA usually puts on Appetite FOr Awareness every year, last year it was at the NavySHipyards... We drive over 6 hours to attend, terrific. But sadly this year they could not find a site to have this big venue.

Mike of Gluten Free Philly has all kinds of info so google that site. He can tell you evrything about Philly & NJ that is gluten-free......Heis very updated ...

Rudi's& Udi's are very popular breads.. Glutinowill be having Genius Bread in the very near future from across the pond. It is very popular over in the UK>

Plus Everybody Eats from NY haswonderful baguettes & italian dinner rolls plus more.

Joan's gluten-free great bakes makes some excellent NY style bagels, English muffins & much more...but sadly their building just burned down so it may be awhile before they will be back in business. You may find some of their goodies in speciality shoppes...

Celiac specialites has the best donuts.....

Conte's from Vineland, NJ hassome awesome pierogi's, ravioli, & frozen gluten-free dinners.....

thanks for the replies :) we went to christines gluten free bakery in kennett square. it took us 2 hours round trip but it was worth it. we bought baguettes and kaisers that are unlike any gluten-free bread we have tried. I am sure i will be posting lots more questions on the forum as we settle into going gluten-free....thanks again

Hi Sylvia and WifeWentGF - Just wanted to clarify on the comment above. Yes, along with our Gluten-Free breads we also have an Organic Bread (containing gluten) product line. Our Gluten-Free breads are very clearly marked 'Gluten-Free' in big letters across the front of the package, and they should be located in the freezer section.

You can feel assured our gluten free products never come into contact with something used to make a product containing gluten. As part of our manufacturing process and our gluten-free certification (GFCO), we also do the following:

(1)Our organic and gluten free equipment is color-coded for easy segregation. (2) Our gluten free breads are baked only after our facility has gone through an extensive, full day clean-up process. (3) All incoming ingredients are also tested and certified to be gluten free. (4) As part of our gluten free certification, every batch of our gluten free bread is tested and must test below <10 ppm of gluten for distribution. (5) We also send product to an outside lab to validate our test results and ensure we have less than 10 ppm of gluten.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks - Maggie, Rudi's Gluten-Free Bakery

I've heard of people here who have quickly grabbed a loaf of Rudi's bread and inadvertently picked up one that was not gluten-free. I'm assuming they were in a hurry or perhaps didn't know you made both kinds.

It's admirable that you are GFCO certified and test <10 ppm so that all but the most sensitive celiacs will be able to consume your gluten-free products. :)

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
