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.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
