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)

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
