Hello everyone, my name is Dave. I'm 23 and I was just diagnosed with celiac. I'm still in the beginning stages where I'm trying to figure which guten-free products I like and which ones I don't. Something that I'm having a hard time finding is a good sandwich bread. I have tried making my own and they came out very dry, crumbly and heavy. I want something a little lighter and softer. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Dave, and welcome! :)

I'm glad you found us--there's a lot of good advice and information here about living the gluten-free lifestyle.

Do you have a Whole Foods nearby? They have their own line of gluten-free baked goods called The Gluten Free Bakeshop. The Sandwich Bread is very good.

Another good bread is The Gluten Free Pantry French Bread Mix. It's very easy, and tastes great. I throw it into my KitchenAid mixer, and bake it in the oven.

If there's anything we can do to help, just ask!

Hi Dave and welcome to the board.

Finding decent sandwich bread is so much a problem that I have primarily given up on it. That is because some you have to take and put in the toaster oven or microwave for a few minutes to get it soft and then it is okay. However, stay away from the pure rice bread the only thing you get out of that is crumbs.

I love all Kinnikinnick baked goods. Their sandwich bread is the best I've had thus far and it makes a killer grilled cheese sandwich!!! If you want to make your own, I highly recommend the Gluten Free Pantry's Favorite Sandwich Bread.

I also have mostly given up on bread, but it's important to try a couple of different kinds, because there's different preferences between different people. But the other things include the fact that you need to toast (in a gluten-free toaster) the bread, or heat it in some fashion, for most breads.

Kinnikinnick and Sterk's are my favorite breads.

Hi, welcome. I'd also recommend trying many different brands, as we all seem to have very different preferences (and yeah - make sure you toast all gluten-free bread!)

You could also make sandwiches in corn tortillas (heat up the tortillas first), or if you can find Corn Thins...sandwiches are really good on those. Good luck :)

Gillian's French Rolls are good. I split them and toast them, but they are the only thing I've found that creates what I remember as a good sandwich.

Corn thins are good - I like them better than ricecakes - with sandwich-y toppings on them.

I have to agree on Gillian's and their English Muffins are the closest to "real" bread.

      In case you decide to go the route of a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood test or biopsy: Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Kosher salt is not usually iodized. Shortly after starting GFD in 2014, I realized I wasn't getting enough iodine.  Growing up in the 50's and 60's we ate bread that used iodine as a dough modifier so each slice had about 100 mcg of iodine.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg a day.  In the 70's they stopped using iodine as a conditioner in the US.  Then everyone got scared of milk.  The US intake of iodine dropped 50% since 1974.  Prescriptions of Thyroxine for hypothyroid disease doubled in the same period.  I tried using iodized salt and seaweed and took an expensive thyroid supplement but it wasn't enough.  In 2014 I had a sebaceous cyst (third eye blind).  The previous 6 cysts on my face had all drained and healed with no problem back in the 1990,s.  One on my check had sugically removed. They are genetic from my mom and my brother and son also get them in the same places.  This one I did not have surgery for because I wanted a bellweather to moniter healing.  It did not start healing until I started until 10 years when I started taking 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine a year ago Nov 2023. Lot's of comment about how it was offputting and maybe cancer, it was deep, down to the bone, but I can be obstenant.  Now it is scabbing over and healing normally.  Vision is returning to my right eye (glucoma), musle tone in my chest was the first sign of improvement.  For healing, iodine breaks down defective and aging cells to make room for new growth. I take Liquid Iodine drops from Pipingrock.com but there is also Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution. 50 mcg/drop a dropper full is 12 drops, 600 mcg.,  usually I put it in a can of Red Bull, My brother, son and his family also started taking it. https://www.pipingrock.com/iodine/liquid-iodine-2-fl-oz-59-ml-dropper-bottle-14690 390 drops for $8.  They ship internationally if you can't find it locally. It the US the Safe Tolerable Upper Limit is 1000 mcg a day.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg a day.  The Japanese traditional diet has 50% less breast cancer, nicer hair, skin and nails, and in the 80's the US educational system dropped down comared to the rest of the world while Japanese kids moved up to the top.  Low iodine affects brain fog. According to most education rankings, Japan generally has a higher education rating than the United States, with Japan often ranking within the top 10 globally while the US usually places slightly lower.  In the 1960s, the United States was near the top of the world for education, especially for young people.  About why iodine was removed from medicint: The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect: Crying Wolf? About why over 40% of us are vitamin D deficient: Mayo Proceedings,  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought:

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!
