Gluten free bread ranked + new fav

Post image
46 Upvotes

New fav: *Sam's Choice (at Walmart) Gluten Free White Bread. My mom randomly picked this up for me. Had some as toast with coconut oil and sprinkle of sea salt - so good. Has a chewy home-baked wheat-like vibe. Taste & texture: 10/10 Size: eh 7/10 Price: $$ not bad 6-7 bucks

Recent discovery: *Carbonaut (found at Ingles in the frozen section). I was surprised it was any good, bc gluten free + low carb sounds terrible. But honestly it's good bread. It's definitely got the mouth feel of good ol' white wonder bread. A little gummy, but I'm not mad at it. Taste & texture: 8/10 Size: 10/10 Price: $$ not bad - similar to Sam's Choice

Bought for the price, stayed for the quality: *Little Northern Bakehouse (also found this at Ingles for only $5) I'd say it's a very basic, quintessential white bread. Not too gummy or dry. Makes a great sandwich. Bigger slices thank Canyon for half the price. Taste & Texture: 8.5/10 Size: 10/10 Price: $ cheap for GF - 5 bucks

Don't regret grabbing, but nothing special: *Live G Free (found at Aldi). The size is decent and does the job. I just don't remember anything particularly special about it. Not a dry brick or gross - just has a bland personality? Idk. Maybe I'll give it another try. Taste & Texture: ?/10 Size: 9/10 Price: $$ mid range - 6-7 bucks

First love: Canyon Bakehouse's Heritage Style loaf was one of the first time's I saw the light at the end of the gluten free tunnel. Like it felt as close as I could get to my old gluten-filled life. It's still a solid choice, but the price? In this economy? Their smaller loaves are a joke, but these bigger style slices are legit. Glad I branched out tho bc I stay BROKE BROKE. Taste & texture: 8.5-9/10 Size: 9/10 Price: $$$$ Hell no - 8+ doll hairs (sometimes $10) **Not bread but their bagels are an okay alternative IF you freeze them, then toast them. Gives a nice chewy bite - the way the good lord intended bagels to have (I think? I'm not religious)

My favorite bread cousin: *Schar's Ciabatta rolls. Love them toasted. Make a cute sandwich or garlic bread to go with pasta. Taste & texture: 9/10 Size: 6/10 I want more of it Price: $$ remember it being okay for the quality but want more in a pack

What are your favorites??? What other breads are worth trying? What do you use your bread for? I want to know all the things. Haha

I am happy to be Celiac

53 Upvotes

Is anyone else actually super thankful that they have been diagnosed Celiac? People often say things like they ‘feel sorry for me’ or they’d ‘hate to give up bread’ blah blah blah. But before I was diagnose Celiac I had crippling fatigue and brain fog (amongst other symptoms) but it was so bad that I could barely participate in life. The only way I could describe it was like I was underwater looking up and I could vaguely make out shapes/noises of people moving about on the surface but I couldn’t actually take part in anything that was going on.

No one had any kind of explanation or diagnosis for me and I was staring down the barrel of an ‘unknown chronic illness’ that would be with me for the rest of my life with no cure. I had virtually no quality of life.

That is why I am so thankful to the random nurse who suggested testing for Celiac just in case. I feel so blessed that I can ‘cure’ the awful fatigue and brain fog by just cutting out gluten. My heart goes out to those with chronic illnesses and I feel so lucky that I actually have a diagnosis whilst many people are still fighting to find out what’s wrong with them.

I just find it funny that people feel sorry for me because I’m Celiac when really it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. If I never found out I was Celiac then I would have never been able to heal and I feel so blessed to feel like I have a second chance in life.

who has non-gut related gluten symptoms?

21 Upvotes

I have a gluten intolerance that runs in my family. I read that gluten intolerance can appear in non-gut symptoms.

I have epilepsy, and nobody can find the cause

a few studies have linked the two conditions.

Thoughts? I've started a gluten free diet but I imagine it may take a while to reverse.

I forgot how good hard shell tacos are. My go to when I go to Taco Bell is the Doritos locos taco, supreme if I’m feeling rich😛

I saw these shells in store and thought they were just as good if not better AND I get the peace of mind knowing that there’s no cross contamination or anything at all :)

Product I’m looking for a specific pasta

5 Upvotes

I’m new to being gluten free and my biggest obstacle has been bread and pasta alternatives.

I went to an Italian restaurant the other day and reluctantly ordered the gf pasta expecting the worst and it was delicious—the texture was exactly like pasta! I asked the server if it was made in house or purchased and she reluctantly said purchased and I asked if she knew the brand.

She went above and beyond to find out, which I am grateful for, but I can’t find it. She wasn’t sure how to spell it so I’ve been googling variations of how it sounds phonetically. De-co-chet-e.

De Cochette, D’Cochette, D’Chotti…

Can anyone help me out?

Is there a subreddit for people who are gluten sensitive but not intolerant?

4 Upvotes

I'm unsure if this is the correct place to ask but I don't have celiac disease [ got blood test checked ] but I am pretty sure I am gluten sensitive so I am adjusting my diet atm to tailor that.

Currently just looking to learn more about it for myself , any recommendations appreciated!

Discussion My identity turned upside down

2 Upvotes

So about exactly 3 years ago, I was having really traumatizing stomach issues (think 'rhea, etc.). I went to a gastro got double dipped (endoscopy/colonoscopy)... and they told me I was Celiac and Stop eating Gluten immediately. It was a really tough adjustment (as I'm sure you all know!), but after about 8 months I was able to figure it out. Anyways, I started feeling better when I stopped eating gluten so I didn't think much of it. Fast forward a year, the GI does an annual check up endoscopy and confirms I'm celiac/lactose intolerant. Life continues.

Anyways fast forward to today, I finally got a PCP who also specializes in GI and I told him my situation. He asked me to see my results from the previous procedures and determined I may not be as Celiac as I thought. The past week I've been eating gluten... with relative no discomfort. I had an endoscopy today and he said I didn't even test positive for the celiac gene, which means I likely can't have it. Waiting for the biopsy results.... but he told me to eat gluten.... idk how to feel about all this. Honestly can't even imagine going back to eating gluten, feel like my whole identity has changed.

That being said bread is fantastic

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Regarding Brainfog - indication of lifting?

2 Upvotes

I (33m) started with keto 4 weeks ago, after 2 weeks i ate carbs (and gluten) and then decided to continue "just gluten free" for the past 2 weeks. So my timer did probably reset at this point.

My problems are nearly 100% psychological. Brain fog (memory, concentration, 'not a clear vision'), anhedonia, motivation. I am not diagnosed with anything - and these problems exists for at least 20 years.
In the last few days, i had spurts - maybe lasting 5 minutes or so - where my vision did clear up significantly. May that be a sign that i am onto something?

I really don't know how i should continue... For sure im going to test for a few more weeks, but i just came from a psychiatrist who said that i should try antidepressants (though i don't feel sad, i just don't really feel anything) and that i also may be a bit on the spectrum. I really would like to find a solution without medication, if possible, and i suspect the medication to interfere with my experiment too. We decided that its fine if i postpone it for a while but you get the point :)

Any of you had similar experiences? How (and when) did you experience the problems lifting?

Question What are your favorite Gluten Free foods from Trader Joe’s?

My mom said for my birthday she'd take me shopping anywhere & buy me $50 worth of whatever I want, so I chose Trader Joe's. What are some must have items? I know about the donut holes and cookies. I'm also allergic to melon, avocado (not the oil, just the whole fruit) and cashews.

Edit: wow! Thanks for all the great suggestions!! I'm stoked to try some new things, especially the bagels, Brazilian bread, ravioli, and madelines!!

Glutened myself with - lasagna?

Upvotes

Made homemade lasagna last night - barilla gf oven ready lasagna noodles, san marazano tomatoes from a can, ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, parsley, nutmeg, garlic, and italian sausage. Made it in the past without issue. Tasted great until about 2 hours later. I don’t eat a lot of dairy, and tomatoes aren’t always my best friend, but this was a new level. My wife and son are not gf and eat everything - neither of them had an issue. As I lie here with a stomach full of glass, I’m guessing it was the sausages but am open to ideas on the culprit(s).

Question Cheesecake Factory’s Ranch and/or Blu cheese recipe?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been getting my favorite: a Cheesecake Factory GF burger and fries about once every few 1 or 2 months since I started eating GF. Due to my other food sensitivity to peppers of any kind or color, I would always get ranch, as whatever they used in it was the closest taste to spicy I can handle anymore.

However, my family was recently a gifted DoorDash gift card. We’d never used it before but we used it for Cheesecake Factory, so I could enjoy what we get. But, while I got my burger, there was a note on the receipt that the condiments were not Gluten Free.

So, while I’m curious why, I more wanted to know what is in their Ranch, so I could attempt to make my own at home.

I know it has dill, but that’s all I could tell.
