I bought some Chebe bread mix the other day, just to try it....I'm still trying to find something I really like, and Bob's Red Mill Pizza Crust Mix made into french bread was the closest I had gotten so far....but oh my gosh, I am now addicted to Chebe!!!! It's CRUSTY, like real bread, and chewy on the inside!!!! WOW!!!! I am so pleased with it. I made a bagel with some cheddar cheese in it the other day for a tuna melt, and put a pan of water under the pan with the bagel in it, it was DELICIOUS!!!!! I am thrilled to have found something so close to real bread, the feeling when I bit into it was amazing! I just had to share my joy!!! hehehehehehe

I have 2 things of it in my pantry that I have not tried yet...pizza dough and cinnamon rolls. I wish they had some fiber in them. Maybe adding some ground flax to the bottom would help. :)

Thanks for sharing. I may give them a go sometime.

The only thing I don't like is that it's kind of sticky in the middle....almost like glue? Is that normal for Chebe? I want to make sub rolls with it next....

Chebe is pretty finicky. You need exact measurements of oil and water and a consistent oven temprature to make it work. If you roll it into breadsticks it'll puff up nicely and cook all the way through.

I was using chebe for rolls for my son when we first went Gluten-free Casein-free, because my earliest yeast breads were flops. He was happy w the chebe shaped as sub rolls - i did not use cheese, kneaded in the machine a long time, added the baking soda, and they came out kinda flat and somewhat chewy in the middle. I read on this forum that you should leave them out for 24 hours, wrapped in a 'tea towel', to let them dry out before wrapping them in plastic. I did make the cinnamon rolls once, and my son LOVED them

However, since i finally got regular bread working, we havent made chebe. He much prefers the yeast rolls and breads, now.

I made a Chebe pizza crust tonight. OMG! It was fabulous, didn't have that funky gluten-free taste at all! I bought several packages of the Chebe pizza crust mix at the online site where I usually buy my books. The package says you can make breadsticks and calzone with the mix. I might have to try that next. YUM!

I can never get my Chebe right- always way too chewy.

I recently purchased Chebe frozen rolls and sandwich bread. I've never seen Chebe that you mix yourself. The frozen rolls are tiny but they taste so good after not having "real" rolls for 9 months now. They are crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. Awesome with lots of butter! The sandwich bread looks strange, not like you would think sandwich bread should look like, but it tastes similar to fancy, deli bread (I can't for the life of me think of the name) that you would get at a sandwich shop.

I made Chebe calzones the other night. They were excellent. I made two. I had one the next day for lunch. I think Chebe is better warmed up. Sometimes, after it is freshly baked, it can be a little on the chewy side. That's just tapioca flour for you. I'll say this though, tapioca flour is the closest thing to wheat flour in terms of texture and chewiness. It doesn't crumble!

We're big fans of Chebe. We usually make golf-ball size rolls and as soon as they are out of the oven, place them into a gallon-size, plastic zipper bag. They taste best after about an hour. For some reason, the moisture lock of the bag gives a little big of moisture to the outside, yet they still are "crusty" and the chewiness of the inside doesn't seem as much. We usually make them as rolls, not as subs or anything. Sometimes I make them into calzones. Yum!

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
