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. :)

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      By knightayres · Posted

      I was wondering if your shakes and off balance went away after stopping gluten?

      Thanks, yall! The tough part now is figuring out if I’m actually feeling better or is it some form of placebo effect. I do actually feel better but I’m not positive if I may just be gaslighting myself lol

      @drjay in addition to what @trents wrote, I wanted to comment on your statement, "Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02 but negative for DQ8" You don't need DQ2 >and< DQ8 in order to be susceptible to getting celiac. Either one is good enough. DQB1*02 is a specific genetic allele that encodes part of the DQ2 protein. "Homozygous" means two copies of the same allele (the opposite is "heterozygous", where the two copies are different alleles). If you are homozygous for DQB1*02, you couldn't have DQ8. In other words, your genetic test tells you that you definitely have the potential to get celiac.

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      @drjay, your mixed test results experience is exceedingly common for someone having been consuming reduced amounts of gluten. A Marsh scale score of 3 indicates "significant villous atrophy" according to a quick google search I did and the biopsy is the gold standard diagnostic test anyway, not the blood antibody testing. It doesn't look like a "total IGA" blood test was ordered and without that we cannot tell if you are IGA deficient. If IGA deficient, other celiac IGA antibody scores, such as the tTG-IGA, cannot be trusted. They will likely be artificially low. And given the fact that there is significant improvement in your symptoms once you went on a strict gluten free diet, there is no doubt in my mind that your doctor's diagnosis of celiac disease is the correct one. By the way, welcome to celiac.com.!

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By drjay · Posted

      About 2 years ago I got a referral to a GI because I was experiencing gut pain, bloating, and some other not so fun symptoms. He scheduled a colonoscopy and that came back fine with the exception of very small healing ulcers in my TI. I have a family history of stomach ulcers so I was prescribed a round of antibiotics and then placed on a PPI w/o an endoscopy to confirm. I think I may have convinced myself it was helping for about a year but I likely just acclimated to how I was feeling. Fast forward to January and my symptoms had gotten to be persistently unbearable and nothing was helping except some minor pressure relief from gasx. I get another appt with the GI and get an endoscopy done. There’s no ulcer so I stop the PPI and we do a SIBO test which comes back negative. The Dr orders a Labcorp celiac test immediately after he gets the biopsy results w/o the gluten challenge thing. I already don’t consume much if any because I suspected I may be sensitive to  gluten.  They grade the biopsy Marsh class 3 but my lab tests are weird and listed below IgA 11 (weak positive is 19) IgG 5 (weak positive is 19) tTG IgA 3 (weak positive 4) Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02 but negative for DQ8 My GI did diagnose as Celiac but the blood test makes me unsure. Even though I’ve been unsure, I immediately went on a strict gluten free diet. Yesterday makes 12 days and it was the first day with a normal bowel movement in last several weeks. Anyone have similar experience?
