Bread Cravings

Does anyone have an idea how to cope with bread cravings? I was brought up eating toast every morning and sandwhiches for lunch. The only gluten free bread here is 'Glutino' which is OK but I am getting tired of it.

I crave the texture the most I think. So I grab some gluten free chips, or make a nice crispy waffle. I think its the crispness of bread that I miss about it. Do you know what about it you miss the most?

I have yet to try any gluten free breads..I fear them.

Why would you fear gluten-free bread? There are a few excellent breads that could easily pass as wheat bread which are from dedicated facilities and are certified...it doesn't get any better than that. I would recommend the Genuis bread by Glutino or my favorite, Canyon bread, available in the US. Canyon is so good, I have fooled people that are not gluten-free into thinking it contained wheat. They had no idea they were eating gluten-free bread. The texture is the same as wheat bread.

I am very sensitive...extremely so that I get sick from small amounts of crumbs yet have never had an issue with this bread. You should never fear gluten-free bread..... ;)

I second the recommendation for Genius bread. I had some this week and I couldn't stop eating sandwiches, it was so good. I'm not really a bread person anymore, but dang if someone gave me that and said it was gluten free I'd've said they were lying through their teeth.

I would also suggest trying to make your own bread. Just experiment with recipes till you find one you like.

I don't know how long you have been gluten free. For the first two years or so I would have cravings for bread. Especially when glutened. Over time they decreased and I hardly ever have cravings anymore, even when I get glutened. I would try to find something that filled the void when it was really bad. I found that Udi's muffins worked really well. They are expensive, but I found good and when I just couldn't stand it I would get some. I also like Udi's bread when I want a sandwich. I know people on the board have good recipes for homemade bread. You might want to look into that if you are up to doing the baking. Good luck.

I should have said I fear the taste/texture! Not gluten! I had a hard time finding crackers I liked at first! Although I think the longer I am gluten free now the better the gluten-free bread products are tasting to me. I figure in maybe 2-3 more months when I do try bread I will have forgotten gluten breads taste and texture.

Udi's is getting easier to find. They have a store finder on their website. Open Original Shared Link You can mail order Rudi's or Udi's too. Among other places, Open Original Shared Link carries it. I've also gotten really nice fresh bread from the Bob's Red Mill mixes.

I always liked the dense, grainy breads and not so much white bread so didn't have any problems with the better gluten-free breads. I admit, there are some horrible ones out there but the 2 I mentioned are quite good. I also like homemade bread but my husband is the baker and doesn't always have time to make some. The Canyon bread is phenomenal and I always make sure I have a good stock of that. I never used to eat that much bread because, funny enough, it made me feel lousy ;) but I do enjoy my toast in the morning.

Hope you find one you like but try the Canyon if possible. I like the San Juan 7 grain...very close to whole grain bread and it makes killer french toast!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  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.
