Challah/bread & Pizza

First off, I want to get gluten free challah, does anyone know if there is such a thing out there? I don't really want to be stuck making my own. Also, I'm new to this whole gluten free thing but how do pick out bread and pasta? Does anyone know what tastes most like the real thing? I was in the store and I'm like how am I supposed to decide between rice and quinoa and corn and so on?

I bought some waffles that I'm going to have in a minute. I've been dealing with this by just NOT eating grains which isn't so bad but after a month of it, I want to add in some substitute products.

Also, is there a kosher frozen pizza gluten free?

I have not found any Gluten Free Challah, that would be great. I just do with out since there is no way I am making it myself. If you find any let me know. Thanks.

I would be very surprised if you had more than one type of gluten-free Challah bread available in your stores. I have only ever heard of one brand that's sold commerically and that is Katz. Here's a thread about it:

Also, I know you said you didn't want to make your own, but you really should consider trying it if you can't get Katz. Simona's recipe is AMAZING and not that difficult to make:

I have ordered many times from Katz Gluten Free Bread company. Actually the bread is delicious. Not exactly like old fashioned challah from my youth, but it really is good. It is not twisted but is square. Check out there website. They have all kinds of really delicous goodies like rugalach, marble cake, buns etc. They will ship free on orders over $30.00 now. They even have a free sample box. They are now carried in some Whole Foods.

Enjoy!

I've only seen the Katz Challah, myself, too. I've never seen them in any of the Whole Foods I go to in in the SW, but I have seen them in whole foods further east

Thanks, guys, I went to the Katz website and ran my zip code through. They have it in 2 of the 3 kosher grocery stores that are 2 to 3 miles from me. Of course, I usually shop in the other one, hahah! I even found a gluten free store in Brooklyn.

I used to make my own challah but it's a whole day affair and dough takes up so much of my freezer which is stuffed right now. I'm glad to know I can get it in the store. Though, it's not real bread-Jewishly so that's something for me to keep in mind.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you so much for your validation. I completely agree with you that the crackers COULD be the culprit even with very small trace amounts (less than 20ppm) and accumulating over time - I am at the point where I am about to request that my son gets retested to make sure that my "control subject" is still testing perfectly lol. I have a meeting with my celiac disease doc tomorrow and will run the crackers by him to see if he is willing to retest in a few weeks. I have not had any of them for the past 3 weeks so far, so fingers crossed, we can retest and hopefully find out if it is them. And no - I have been scouring EVERYTHING to make sure nothing else has changed. Only use gluten-free lip products and toothpaste so not there either (but very good suggestion). Thank you for validating me. I feel like many are just saying "you are not being gluten-free enough - but I do have a perfect 16 year track record that proves otherwise - so has to be something sneaky.

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...

      I recently had same problem and posted on here.  My bloodwork also unexpectedly skyrocketed.  When doc sent online comment saying something like "you need to be eating gluten-free food" I was almost in tears because had been very careful.  Like you, went on a mission.  Narrowed mine down to Yasso yogurt mint chocolate chip bars (formerly had Certified Gluten Free label on package but learned now only on small boxes but not large boxes) or BJ's only mixed nuts without "may be processed on equipment that also processes ....wheat" allergy warning and said in big letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  I went off both and bloodwork drastically improved.  Still don't know if culprit one or both (will add one back in and test again).  Throwing out in case you're eating either of these.  I live in Pittsburgh and during appointment my gastro told me some U. of Pittsburgh students were having same problem.  They finally narrowed it down to liquid injected into chicken they were eating.  (Apparently to make it moist and/or plump.)  Understand how frustratitng it is when you're making all the sacrifices to be careful.
