Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hello all... I am beginning a three week adventure into the world of vegan/gluten free livin' and have a couple of questions. I was looking today at different possibilities for bread type foods and noticed that there are several that have wheat or spelt that do not contain gluten, but again having the whole grain should i simply abstain from them as well? It would be exceedingly difficult to rule out all carbs and i am afraid that if gluten free means all bread type products regardless of whether they have gluten that i would have difficult time. Also, this is not specific to my three week adventure, but i am curious if those on this list are partial to almond butter? I have spoken with a few people who feel that it is acidic due to the fact that the oils have separated and so it would not be a good choice, yet most everyone i have spoken with feels that peanut butter is far worse due to the aflatoxins, does anyone have an opinion on this? Appreciate the feedback...Tymothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole grain contains the gluten. If you want to be gluten free, you must abstain from *all* wheat, barley, rye and (commercial) oats. Spelt contains gluten also. There are a number of gluten-free breads, but they do not contain wheat or spelt. Shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Tymothy, there are a vast array of whole grains you can eat on a gluten-free diet (searching through the files will help you---I LOVE Mark Engelberg's bread recipe!), but anything containing wheat or spelt has gluten by its nature. I love almond butter.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hey Tymothy, My favorite GF bread is the Kinnickinick brand. It isn't whole grain but it is pretty tasty. I get it from the freezer section at Whole Foods. , " miracles28 " <tymothys wrote: > > Hello all... > I am beginning a three week adventure into the world of vegan/gluten > free livin' and have a couple of questions. > I was looking today at different possibilities for bread type foods > and noticed that there are several that have wheat or spelt that do > not contain gluten, but again having the whole grain should i simply > abstain from them as well?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 We just tried the multigrain bread by Dr. Schaar's. Its very good, nice thick cut slices. My only issue is the slices are small but I'm thinking this is a good bread to eat with those foods that you want a nice crusty, thick bread. Deb Thank you everyone for the responses. I'll look and see if i can find kinnickinnick brand where i live (we don't have a whole foods).

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Kinnikinnick uses eggs in many of their products, check carefully if you are vegan. You can also order their products through their site, www.kinnikinnick.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 For an egg-free, gluten-free bread: Some people claim the company is Satan incarnate and that they lie on their packaging (the bread is remarkably good), and some people swear they are a lifesaving godsend, but I buy DeLand Bakery millet bread, and I've never had stomach upset or headaches from it. I get it at a local health foods store.

DeLand's millet bread gives me iritis and a corneal rejection with hours.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 If it is only for 3 weeks you could stick to only rice. White and bown rice (there are actualy a whole lot of differnet type of rice to make it interesing) and rice nudles (they comes in bownrice too). Just to be on the safe side and is a great way to eliminate any other posible irritans. I started on rice and I have to say that im still mainly on rice. It is easy and can be made in so many ways or eaten with so many things (sweet or spicy). I only ate a bit of drybread/cracker toast from dr. Schar(Fette croccanti, made only by rice and maize) when I missed bread tooo much. I find that most gluten free breads that I can get around here contains either (like some said here)eggs and dairy or other funny stuff im not shure is to healthy. And if it sounds to boring to only eat rice, well a big part of the people here on earth eats rice daily and only rice (no bread). I looove my rice noodels.... in styfries or in salads or ..... rice and noodels can be used in soooo many ways, just get creative :-)) Kristine > > Hello all... > I am beginning a three week adventure into the world of vegan/gluten > free livin' and have a couple of questions. > I was looking today at different possibilities for bread type foods > and noticed that there are several that have wheat or spelt that do > not contain gluten, but again having the whole grain should i simply > abstain from them as well?
