I like either Canyon Bakehouse or Udi'd for already made white bread. Both do have multigrain varities also but I grew up in the pasty white bread era. Canyon Bakehouse also makes a good cinnamon raisen bread that I like for breakfast.  I think most jellies and jams are gluten free but I use either Wegmans or Smuckers. Pamelas Baking mix makes pretty good biscuits, muffins and cookies but check and make sure there isn't any ingredients you need to avoid as it is almond flour with others and has a leavening agent. I like all these brands because they don't have soy. Although that may not be an issue for you. You may also want to check out Grainless Baker. They use tapioca flour and I think I have become addicted to their rolls. They make a french bread style bagutte (sp?) that is great for sub style sandwiches.

So did you like the breads first try or did you have to acquire a taste for them? It seems I've tried lots of gluten-free breads and none I have just been like wow that's good and worth $6 a loaf or that I can eat within 5 days if opening 🙄 i  will have to try the biscuits and the other you mentioned, thanks!

I use Fritz Gluten Free bread which is available here at Costco in 2 loaf packages. It's whole grain and tastes great.

Fratz  (west coast) has great bread. 
Canyon House bread and bagels are delicious too!  Guess it depends on tastes and textures you like.  
Chick-Fil-A  has an awesome hamburger bun too!

I think you mistyped. It’s Franz, not Fratz. It’s my favorite. Canyon House is good too but their loaf bread slices are diminuitive.

My problem with most gluten-free bread is texture. They tend to turn to glue. Could some company slice the bread thin, sort of like half thick as usual? I would love that.

I have been gluten-free for 15 years, and I still don't like a lot of the stuff they feed us. You just have to find what you can live with.

The problem with that is that gluten-free bread doesn't hold together well enough to permit thin slicing. But try Canyon House Bakery's gluten-free bread products. They are smaller and thinner than most.

Agree, Cannon House is good.  Bagels are great too!  If you live on West coast, you have some other brands that are great also.

Refrigerate both and they will last longer.  I freeze bagels and pull out the night before.

Did you mean "Canyon House?" You typed "Cannon House." Or, maybe there is a Cannon House?

Canyon House Heritage Style Honey White is my favorite for a sandwich. Keep it in the freezer and defrost only the slices you need. About 15 minutes to defrost a slice on the counter or nuke it for 30 seconds if your Lithium is low and you are impatient.  Toasted the texture reminds me of rye bread.

Unfortunately, Lance is not making the gluten free originals right now due to an employee shortage.  Or at least that is what they told me.🥲 Wish Ritz would make them too!

The crackers I really like, as opposed to tolerate, are the Schaar ones. The Table Crackers are like real plain crackers and the Entertainment Crackers are like slightly smaller Ritz crackers. I order them. We don't have much available here, either.

Yes I have tried those. I don’t care for the entertainment crackers other than to bake with … they taste weird to me idk why. The table crackers I use for tuna and soup but they crumble so not good for much else lol. Ordering gets expensive and it’s almost always in bulk 🤦🏼‍♀️

      How long was your gluten challenge? I hope it was longer than a week. If not, your testing was likely invalid.

      Well, the next step would logically be to commit in a serious way to the gluten-free diet and see if you have significant improvement in your symptoms. You should see improvement very soon with regard to GI issues and within weeks if there are other symptoms if gluten is indeed the issue. If there is significant improvement after going gluten free, that would...

Recently upgraded guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks prior to either the blood antibody test draw or the endoscopy/biopsy. And if you had been gluten free for all those years, you likely had lost any tolerance to gluten you may have had when consuming it regularly. That's probably why it was such a tough sledding experience. Before I was diagnosed, I had very minor GI symptoms. Now, after many years of being gluten free, I get violently ill for hours if I get a good slug of gluten, like when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with the gluten free ones she made me.

That's why I was so sick and had to take nausea and bloating medications during the gluten challenge week prior to the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed by the gastroenterologist. The "younger" doctor (the internal medicine who did the blood test), said the antibodies should remain in your system and you don't have to eat gluten (i.e., blood test last year). Hence my posting on finding a good doctor.

      Well, the next step would logically be to commit in a serious way to the gluten-free diet and see if you have significant improvement in your symptoms. You should see improvement very soon with regard to GI issues and within weeks if there are other symptoms if gluten is indeed the issue. If there is significant improvement after going gluten free, that would tell you that you must avoid gluten and given the test results you already have, the logical conclusion is NCGS. As I said, an NCGS diagnosis is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease, which seems to have been done. Then you could go back to that doctor with the other evidence component (improvement of symptoms with gluten-free eating) and ask if he/she would now be willing to declare an official dx of NCGS and give you a note. Or, you could book an appointment with another doctor who could look at your test results online, together with symptom improvement after going gluten-free, who might be more cooperative. I would seek out a younger practitioner as they are more likely to not be operating on outdated info about gluten disorders. By the way, NCGS is about 10x more common than celiac disease.

      Thank you for clarifying the terminology. Based on what my doctor told me, I understand that I do not have celiac disease, but that I’m “likely gluten sensitive.” From what I’ve researched, that places me in the category of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)—as you mentioned, the key difference is that with NCGS there are no damaged villi and no positive celiac-specific antibodies. Either way, my treatment is the same: follow a gluten-free diet to avoid feeling sick. My understanding is that there are three main issues related to gluten: 1. Celiac Disease (produces specific antibodies and damages the small bowel) 2. Wheat Allergy (an immune response to wheat proteins) 3. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (negative celiac tests but still symptomatic from gluten) Regarding tax breaks or workplace accommodations, I came across a statement from celiac.org (https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/federal-benefits/tax-deductions/) indicating that having any formal diagnosis—celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity—plus a prescription from a physician is typically required to qualify. In my case, my goal is to avoid feeling sick and secure documentation for both work and potential tax benefits. If I do pursue further tests or get more detailed lab results, I’ll share those here to confirm whether the doctor is suggesting celiac disease or truly NCGS. But as of now, the doctor’s comments lead me to believe I fall under NCGS.

      Welcome to the forum, @Jason Hi! First, we need to deal with some squishy terminology. There are two terms which are, unfortunately, used interchangeably and indiscriminately to refer to two different gluten-related disorders. The two terms are "gluten sensitive" and "gluten intolerant". Because these terms are used carelessly we are not certain what you mean when you say your doctor told you that your are likely "gluten sensitive". The actual medical terms for these two gluten disorders are: "celiac disease" and "Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity" or NCGS for short. The test you had run by the GI doc are intended to check for celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out.  Because these terms are used by many people interchangeably I'm not sure that your doctor, after running the tests, was intending for you to understand that he believes you have celiac disease or NCGS. So, to clear up the confusion, can you post the results of your blood test, not just the test scores but the reference ranges used by the lab analyzing the blood sample to determine negative/positive or normal/high? The difference between celiac disease and NCGS is that celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel over time whereas NCGS does not. However, they may share many of the same gastro intestinal symptoms. Both need to be addressed with a gluten free diet but the tax breaks and work place accommodations you speak of would likely only accrue from an official celiac disease diagnosis. So, can you post the blood test results along with the reference ranges and also the endoscopy report. We can help you decipher whether or not the doc was suggesting you may have celiac disease or NCGS if you will do that.
