I am in desperate need of help!!

My partner has just been recently diagnosed with Coeliacs and we are struggling to adjust.

We have bought a bread machine do that I can make bread that he can eat and hopefully cut down on costs but the recipies that i have tast awful!

Does anyone have a bread receipe that does NOT require a bread mix as I want to make it from scratch.

ANy help is extremely greatfully received.

Thank you in advance!!

Bette Hagman's Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread cookbook was a big help when I was starting out. Everything is from scratch.

Hi Katie,

I have a bread recipe that is the closest thing to wheat bread in taste, texture and mouthfeel.

.

You can happily eat it witout spreading anything on it,

it doesn't need to be refreshed,

it will keep in an air-tight container on the counter for 3 - 4 days,

in the fridge for more than a week and

can be refreshed from the freezer anytime.

.

It bends like wheat bread it tears like wheat bread,

I recently gave a sample to the Head Lecturer in the Bakery College of Ireland,

the response I got back was, he thought it was very good and wants to use the recipe in one of his lectures.

I haven't tried using a bread maker, but I'm very happy with the quality of bread from Annalise Roberts' book Gluten Free Baking Classics So far, I've only tried the Italian bread, but it's such a world of difference from the pre-made cardboard I've been eating that I've made 3 loaves of it already!

Oh - I see she has a new book on bread machine baking:

I haven't seen it yet, but I'd definitely recommend it based on Gluten Free Baking Classics.

Something else to consider is the ingredients. I had trouble finding Millet flour at my local health food store (which is pretty good, but somewhat expensive for a lot of the other ingredients I've been using). They did have whole millet, so I've been grinding that in my Vitamix, but that's not a great solution.

This afternoon, I visited an (Asian) Indian grocery store, and found both Millet flour and Sorghum flour, for about $1.50/lb each, which is dirt cheap compared to the health store prices.

The Millet flour is called Bajri, and the Sorghum flour is called Jawar.

I also visited a Chinese Grocers, and found (white) rice flour (which appears to be a finer grind than I've been getting from the health food stores), potato starch, and tapioca flour.

The Chinese grocer also carries a wide variety of rice noodles.

I hope this helps. I thought I'd never eat good tasting bread again without getting sick, and am ecstatic to find out I was wrong.

The only problem I seem to be having is sourcing some of the ingredients.

I am in the UK so i odnt think we sell some of them, but i will try my best :o)

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
