I bought three different types of gluten free bread and they are disgusting, what can I make with them so that they don't go to waste? Two of them are rice and one is tapioca

Stuffing. A breakfast strata...

If you aren't picky about French toast...

Anything that covers the taste. gluten-free bread actually bakes well in casseroles, etc. (thank goodness!).

Well, there's stuffing, French toast, grilled sandwiches, croutons, bread crumbs, and probably a few other things I'm not thinking of ATM. I'm sure others will chime in with good ideas.

Meatloaf

Bread puddings (most recipe books will include a few of those under their desserts section)

Were those breads from Ener-G Foods sold at a local store? Unfortunately most stores sell the WORST varieties of Ener-G Foods breads. Much better tasting varieties are Ener-G's Seattle Brown and Corn Loaf. I've been eating those for almost 7 years and still love them. (I can't eat most other bread brands, because I have dairy, egg, soy, cane sugar allergies as well as gluten intolerance, but my husband loves Rudi's, Udi's and Kinnickinnick breads.)

Bread crumbs or croutons - cube it up, bake at 250, stirring every 30 minutes, until dry and crunchy. Saute briefly with oil/butter and seasonings to make croutons, or use a food processor or blender to make bread crumbs. Roll the slices flatter, cut in quarters, and toast in the oven at 250 until crunchy to make a version of Melba toast. Or make chocolate bread pudding!

Seriously. When first diagnosed I made the mistake of purchasing horrid gluten-free bread. It was so bad that I could not even use it for croutons or stuffing so I pulverized 'em to use as crumbs which I heavily seasoned in an attempt to salvage what I could. But I'm pretty picky about such things. :P

My mom used to make Queen Anne Pudding - just a fancy bread pudding really -- once it has set you cover it with raspberry jam and then meringue and cook the meringue.

Yum, that sounds good mushroom.

Here's a recipe I stumbled on Open Original Shared Link

Or there are easier recipes for bread puddings if you google gluten-free bread pudding recipes.

Some of it would probably make a good Christmas casserole, that one that you soak in scrambled eggs overnight with crumbled pre-cooked sausage or bacon and cheese and bake in the morning. I don't have a recipe for this, we've had it for years, sometimes with carmelized onions in there or just chopped green onions.

Don't throw it away. Jam what you don't use in the freezer. Who can stick a piece in a mini food processor to make panko style crumbs for breading fish or chicken, stuff peppers or other veggies, make into croutons for good homemade soups, etc.

Little by little you will find good ways to cook that horrid bread up in good ways. :D

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to ...

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
