I would strongly recommend Chebe pizza (you can order the mixes at Open Original Shared Link (free shipping so it's cheaper than buying it in stores!). If you go to a manufacturers' site, such as Ener-G or Kinnikinnick (spelling?) they sell their products online. Then there are some sites that sell a combination, such as the gluten free mall (which Scott who runs this board also runs), as well as a collection of others. With the exception of Chebe mixes, I buy all of my specialty gluten-free food from the health food stores, Whole Foods, or Fairways, so I don't have great insight into that....

Oh, Foods by George makes a wonderful pizza (foodsbygeorge.com) --it's one of their newest items and comes already made and frozen. The negative is that it's about twice as expensive as Chebe, it can't be stored forever since it's already made, and it makes a pizza about half the size (you can get a normal-sized pizza pan for Chebe.

For bread, I feel that the only edible one and a phenomenal one at that is the one that Whole Foods makes in their gluten-free bakehouse. They have gluten-free products in Whole Foods stores in the southeast and most recently, the north east. You live in Kentucky, however, so that isn't YET an option. Months ago I would've recommended Ener-G or Kinnikinick (spelling again) but Whole Foods is ten times as good as either of the two...and after tasting this, it would be difficult to go back to the alternatives.

Open Original Shared Link

The pizza crusts come in single serve size as well as larger sizes. They are very good. Orders up to $200 are only $10 shipping, so order as much as you can to save. The tapioca white rice bread is great. The donuts are great. The chocolate chip muffins are really great, but very small and not super filling. Makes them a bit of an extravagance. Make space in your freezer if you order.

If you don't mind cooking it yourself. I've found the Arrowhead Mills pizza mix fairly decent. Its sticker then hell. So Ignore the directions about kneeding it. I make it once or more a week. I just throw it in my mixer, let it do the kneeding(Spray Pam on the mixer thing... to keep it from sticking, also in the mixing pot).

The I just throw it out onto a pizza pan, and push it around with baggies on my hands, sprayed again with Pam. This stuff is sticky... but it isn't that bad.

Then I just pour some continada pizza sauce, cheese and peperoni(or bacon, bacon pizza is so dang good! hehe... I like the grease... peperoni + bacon, not I am not talking about candian bacon... U.S> term that is. its called streaky bacon in UK :>)

Anyways, I got off topic. Arrowhead mills Pizza mix can be ordered from some online sources... I just buy it at Wild Oats. If you don't have them... here are a few online places.

...

Dang, I can' t find it on my online places. I know I saw it there like a week ago. hmm... its weird, its not even on Arrowhead Mills website... but I have a box right here...

Ach.... I meant to say it is sticky'er, not sticker.

Oh, I also lied. I don't have one box of the mix, I have about 10... :> hey... it was on sale last week...

I too love the gluten-free Whole Foods products, they are good but... I love this bread even more: Manna by Anna (google it) its a mix and it works best with a dough enhancer but when made it is soooo good. It doesn't crumble and it tastes great even without toasting.

I make mine in an old bread machine and it comes out just right each time on the regular bread cycle. My mom tried to make it in the oven and it didn't come out as well but... she is known for cutting corners and I wasn't there when she made it so I can't say which corners she cut but I'm going to bet she did (sorry mom!).

I've tried tons of gluten-free bread and Manna by Anna is still far and away the best one.

Our favorite bread mix is Gluten Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix. The ones you make at home are SO MUCH BETTER! This one is really easy! I make it every week for my 2 year old celiac daughter.

I buy almost all her food online because we are in a small town. I always use

www.glutensoultions.com

They have a big variety and fast shipping.

Good luck!

Thanks for all the good sites to buy gluten free food. I really wish Whole Foods was online though. That seems to be the only place we can get good bread. We don't use it for sandwiches though since it isn't that great but makes awesome garlic or cheese toast.

I can't buy the pre-mixes for bread or pizza but have found a couple recipes on-line that work great.

For the pizzas, I just make about 4 crusts, prebake and then freeze. When we need a pizza, then I top it.

It's at www.savorypalate.com

The bread recipe I have been using and she loves the best actually has "bread holes". It seems to work best in mini-loaf pans or muffin tins. But it actually rises and is soft when it is done. Yesterday I made her a hamburger bun by making a mold out of tin foil. She couldn't believe I could do that! Hasn't had a "bun" in 7 months.

The recipe is the sorghum bread at www.twinvalleymills.com

I am sure that you could sub another heavy flour, though.

We have now discovered Amy's gluten free pizza & it is pretty good. We dress it up a bit though with extra cheese & pepperoni.

I hate to sound like a broken record but I agree Foods by George Pizza is good. But I just ate my pizza I ordered from Everybody eats and it was terrific. I did dress it up with my favorite things as I ordered only cheese which is cheaper as I figure I can put my own things on it.IF anyone is interested I do know of a place that will ship Everybody Eats stuff for a cheaper price than can be sold by them directly. Just pm me and I will supply the name.The crusty rolls & baguettes are to die for !!!!!!

Also again get the cookbook by Annalise Roberts as she has alot of favorites in it. It seems she has a hugh followering within this great group. And to boot she is very nice.

A wonderful bread mix is Anna's Mixes. She too is a wonderful person.

I don't make a dime from any of them. I just like to help others out when something good comes along...

I recently ordered a bunch of meals from Comfy Cuisine. They make pizzas plus pasta meals, so far everything I have tried is good. Instead of flour, they seem to use a lot of egg. Though the pizza doesn't taste like traditional pizza, it does hit the spot and I don't even mind the leftovers for lunch the next day.

That's one I haven't heard from before. I'll be checking them out.

I have tried comfy cuisine and wasn't impressed at all. I had the eggplant parmesan which was fair but was watery. The other ones and the pizza we really disliked. I would not purchase them again. Glad to hear someone liked them...Their are four of us gluten-free and we all said the same thing but we ate them at different times so we we judged them it would be fair because we didn't know when the other one sampled them.

I would say spend your $$$$$ on something else......

Ordering Chebe bread... it only comes in large quantities. For example, the cinnamon roll up bread comes in a pack of 8 or something like that. Is it worth the 30 dollar price?

As far as prices for the gluten free food goes......I can honestly say that that is one place I don't worry about the cost. I think I would pay just about anything for my husband to have some good or atleast new gluten food to eat.

I haven't tried Chebe for cinnamon rolls, but I love the red bag for pizza, and also the bag for breadsticks. THAT is definitely worth the $30 price! I'd order more, actually....

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
