I've heard a lot about this bread but it is not available here. Wonder if it is available anywhere in Canada?!

Check out the Canyon bakehouse website, love2travel. There is information there on where you can find their bread and shipping costs also.

I agree the first few days were horrible. It's all trial and error the first few tries, I must of thrown out 5 different types of rolls and bread in the beginning (birds actually ate it). I will have to look for the Rudi's and the other bread suggested. Currently I use Udi's, love the raisin bread toasted with jams. I toast Udi's whole grain bread make my sandwich and put it in a ziplock while warm and it's much better when I eat it. I find the whole grain better and less bry then the white. Also try and use some type of condiment or fresh roasted peppers or pickle slices on a sandwich makes it softer and I digest it better. Grilled sandwiches are great the bread retains moisture on the inside and crunch on the outside. Yes, they are smaller slices but if you look the calories are more then regular bread.

I just read somewhere if you nuke bread a few seconds it helps absorb better when making french toast. In lieu of bread I will use gluten-free corn strips or rice crackers with tuna or egg salad. Vans make a nice flavorful Waffle, toast spread with jelly or jam wrap with plastic makes a good take to work lunch. I keep Chex cereal in ziplock for a quick go to snack @ work.

Keep a diary on your likes and dislikes and reason why, it's easier to go back and look then trying to remember. It will get easier and you will start feeling better soon. Take one day at a time.

Thanks. I just checked, did a fake order, and was told they do not ship here. Hardly surprising. If they did, the shipping costs would likely be quite high. That's ok. I will stick with Genius and my homemade bread until it does (if it does!) become available here. It did look good on the website!

My son is the one who is gluten free and he likes Udi's, but he really hasn't known anything else. This may not help much if you are looking to do a sandwich, but I've had much better luck with quick bread type things (banana bread, pumpkin bread, carrot bread, zucchini bread, etc.) than the white. Pancakes, muffins, and waffles have all worked well too. Maybe start with those to ease into it?

A very good bun is Bertille buns, one of the best I've found &most like a wheat bun. Soft & swishy..THe bad part is mailorder only...

celaic speciality has a gluten-free crossiant sandwich bun that is wonderful for deli sandwiches..& the donuts are to die for..

Udi's bread is good if you can get it fresh..I wrap a damp paper towel around all my frozen gluten-free bread,buns & nuke them for a few seconds, always soft..

I get tired of the same breads so I vary often.. I now have Genius bread from the UK,again good but the crust is a bit harder than normal bread...

Everybody Eats from Brooklyn has yummy baguettes & ficeille rolls.

Some enjoy Katz Bakery & Schar rolls & buns too..

Another bread I enjoy is Silvana's Italian Seeded Bread. They own a bakery& deli shop in Rochester, NY. Pizza is wonderful,cream puffs,chicken parm & more all very good...

I know the Raisin Rack in Canton, Ohio sells it & will maybe ship...if you want a roadtrip this is the store to visit....& to stock up....

Also htere is a bakery in Mt. Pleasant Pa that sells pepperoniRolls, breadsticks & much more& they are very popular & they ship Open Original Shared Link, they can send you a list of products...

With it being only a couple of days in, you are still making that mental comparison to the gluten bread . . . that will go away with time.

Love the idea of eating some EnerG bread and then the Udi's :lol::lol:

My daughter's first bread was the Kinnikinnick . . . small, frozen, couldn't pry it apart, crumbly once you did.

You eventually get use to the new way of doing things. It becomes the new norm. My daughter eats her cheeseburgers bun-free. Now that Udi's has hamburger buns, I bought some for her. She doesn't like them. Not because of the taste or texture, but because for four years she's been eating burgers without any bread(type) product. She doesn't think it tastes right with a bun . . . for one thing, it soaks up all her ketchup :P

Udi's is my favorite I also use Rudis from time to time but I always toast the bread in the oven under the broiler. I can't even tell the difference as long as its toasted

Hey, my daughter loves the Ener-G bread and most people seem not to like it. But they do seem to sell a lot of it! I don't personally like any gluten-free bread very much but then I never was much of a bread lover. It will do better if microwaved for maybe 10 seconds or toasted.

The most like regular breads that I've tried are the quick breads. There is a recipe on here (not the forum but under the recipes section) for zucchini bread. It rocks! We've also bought a pumpkin bread at the health food store that is gluten-free and delicous.

Mostly when we are home I try to make things that are naturally gluten-free. That makes things a lot easier and you won't feel deprived when you eat things like that.

If you like to eat out a lot, look for places that have a gluten-free menu. The Old Spaghetti Factory and Olive Garden both do. There is also PF Chang's, Pei Wei, Outback, Bonefish and some others whose names escape me.

Hi! You said you were looking for places in Baltimore. Sweet Sin has fabulous baked goods. I think they've recently added food, too. Some of their stuff is also free of dairy and soy. I hated the breads that I tried when I first went gluten-free, but their bread was a nice treat every so often. It falls apart if the sammy ingredients set too long on it, but it has good flavor. It makes a mean fried PB&J. When I get a hankering for something tart, I go for their lemon or lime tart. No, none of it tastes the same as the wheaty counterparts, but they're delicious in their own right.

If you bake (or even if you don't) you owe it to yourself to try a loaf of Pamela's wheat free bread. It only needs eggs, oil, and water (and a heavy mixer) and makes the best bread I've had in my 10 years and about 25 different bread recipe attempts. I toast the bread for sandwiches, but very light toasting keeps the bread soft and pliable. I make a loaf, or swirl round "blops" on my Silpat to make burger rolls (which I also lightly toast). It's the best, in my opinion. I finally splurged on the 25-pound bag of bread mix (to which you have to add yeast. The single bag of bread mix comes w/ yeast).

I feel your pain. Baking beautiful loaves of crust country bread or shiny braided challah bread and cookies and cakes used to be my passion. I can't recreate... so I don't bake much anymore.

But try Pamela's. I think you'll really like it.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
