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.

The link is: Open Original Shared Link

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      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.
