Gluten Bread Weird Taste/smell


jilliann

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Just tried 1st gluten-free bread: UDIS WHITE.

What ingredient gives gluten free bread an off greeny/metalic/raw flour flavor. I've recently tried UDIS white bread, and could not stand the smell/taste. I'm wondering: is it the rice flour, tapioca starch/products, potato starch, or canola oil?

Mariposa bagels has a similar smell/taste, but not as strong (more palatable). So I'm wondering which grain could be causing this odor/flavor?

Thank you!

Welcome to the board. How long have you been gluten free? I ask because it can take a while before our taste 'memories' of bread fade. For some gluten free breads can have a strange taste at first. Some people find it helps to go a couple months without bread before trying the gluten free ones. Most of our breads are also better toasted or warmed.

Not everyone likes the same breads, for example, I can't stand ones with flax or bean flour and don't tolerate ones with soy. Others can't stand the plain white Udi's that I like the best. All we can do is try different ones until we find one we tolerate and like.

Funny you post this. Someone posted about Rudi's having an odd smell - and I hadn't noticed it.

Well, the last loaf I bought had a smell to it. I think the new one does, too.

Luckily, I found it dissipates and doesn't affect the taste.

It is a weird smell, though. And Rudi's is my favorite.

I haven't noticed it in any of the plain flours I've bought, so I cant pinpoint it.

I have allergies, haven't smelt in years, lol. But I did have to stop bread for quite a while before going back. Now I like Udi's white breads the best.

I can't stand any of them. I use a romaine lettuce leaf. No smell there. lol. :P

I'm not a fan of Udi's either. :blink: It had a weird texture to me. I suppose it's better than the other store bought ones, but I'm not a huge fan. I just make my own... but I really got over the bread thing. Go with the romaine, better for ya! ;)

Try the Udi's whole grain. It has a more normal taste to me. The suggestion to go off bread altogether is a good one. After a while, I forgot what "egular" bread tasted like. Donuts... not so much!

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
