Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hi. I am a new member to this group and found it by searching gluten free. I have a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old that both were diagnosed with celiacs disease and my baby girl who is 5 months old is showing similar symptoms my youngest son had. We have decided to go gluten free for the whole family as I am sure it would benefit my older kids as well and cooking 2 meals every night isn't fun. Problem we are having is BREAD. I have tried several different recipes for bread in our bread machine and honestly they make me sick even trying to eat it. I have tried store bought bread and that was even worse. So here I am asking for some help! Is there any bread that tastes close to normal bread? That doesn't become soggy or taste like a sponge? I read reviews on Schar brand bread being pretty good, but again no one here carries it so I have to order online. Is it worth it cause honestly if it tastes awful no one will eat it and I am throwing my money away... We tried the Schar brand noodles and those were pretty good and tasted pretty close to regular noodles. Even my non celiac kids liked em. Any suggestions for making the complete transfer over to gluten free? Thanks in advance. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 HI Bread is the hardest.but I myslef prefer the ENERG FOODS TAPIOCA Bread. also the bread taste better if u toast it. I also use the KINNINNICK breads they are fair. A good way to find which one u like best of the store bought is order online thru energ foods the sampler packs.I found that to be a good way to taste difernt kinds of breads. there is also good recipes out there on the other group most of us r on.look at recipe circus writer mom77 and u will find alot. Toms Bread is great,Noah's bread those recipes are in the recipe circus. I've been on this diet since 1986. I can help anyway I can and alot of others on this group and other groups can help.There is also a site on about.com/celiac diease that has good recipes. I also like the TINADYKa brand pastas theya re great. the THAI rice noodles are good also. any veggies are great as long as they are plain without additives. I hope I helped a little anyways jjust gve my insight Carolyn Malone Lampasas,Tx PS>I write big im visibly impaired legally blind.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I use Pamela's wheat free bread mix. I use the oven directions (don't have a bread machine, just a mixer) and I think it's pretty good (we even make it egg free). www.glutenevolution.com has a good bread, Anna's. If you join GFCFRecipes on , they have a tried and true recipe file. Tom's celiac light bread is great! --- On Sun, 5/31/09, coophostjodi <jleininger27 wrote: coophostjodi <jleininger27 Gluten Free Sunday, May 31, 2009, 5:01 PM Problem we are having is BREAD.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Jodi--I make a variation on Mark Engelberg's gluten-free bread he posted on here. It's great. Some of my friends prefer it to gluten-y bread. Everyone gobbles it up when I make it.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hi Jodi, At a health food store, I met a young lady with children that had to be gluten-free. She told me the best bread is Sami's Flaxseed and Millet bread. I found some in the frozen section of my health food store. I think it tastes close to regular bread. I've tried several other brands of GF bread and ended up throwing them away. I've been told that most GF breads have to be toasted to be palatable, but I eat Sami's straight and love it.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Last I heard Sami's had serious cross contamination issues and when it was independantly tested it registered gluten. If that has changed it would be great.

Unscrupulous health food stores do that. avoid Sami's like the plague it's a pity because it tastes good. I had a severe reaction to it and went looking into why. thats when I found that the HFS made the claim but Samis doesn't Shez -- Giving you the latest news and information about homeschooling http://www.examiner.com/x-10127-Norfolk-Homeschooling-Examiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
