We don't like it. It's just OK for french toast, but otherwise, not great.

Its pretty gross. It works well as a doorstop though.

Check out Kinnikinnick or the Whole Foods Bakery stuff if you have access to them.

Daughter liked one kind only. I believe it was fruit and nut. She spit the others out. My mom tried some and spit them out.

The problem I had with them is the slices are very sticky and crumbly. You buy it frozen and must first defrost it to try to get the slices apart. I tried to pry the frozen slices apart and they just wouldn't go. When I defrosted the loaf, the slices sort of dried out. I was lucky to get 4 usable slices from the loaf. The rest just crumbled up and made a mess.

Daughter likes some of the Ener-G bread. I know a lot of people complain about it. She likes the Rice Starch Loaf, the Thin Sliced Tapioca Loaf and the Corn Loaf. We usually buy the 2 slice packages. Yes, it's expensive this way but she is the only one in the family who eats it and if we buy a loaf, most of it goes to waste anyway because she can't/won't eat it fast enough. She likes it heated in the microwave or toasted. I can't do this when I make a sandwich for her school lunch, but she eats it anyway. Sometimes on the way to dance class, I make her a small sandwich with the warmed Tapioca Loaf, some meat, faux butter and a piece of rice cheese. She likes it so much she wolfs it right down.

We also buy their buns. She likes the Rice and the Seattle Brown. Once again though, it's hard for her to eat the whole package before it goes bad. Yes, there are four buns per package, but she doesn't like to eat the same thing day after day.

Other things she likes are the pizza crusts, some of the cookies, donuts, cinnamon rolls, pound cake, chocolate chip snack bars, crackers and pretzels.

Boy did this bring back memories. This was the only bread we had available for a while and I used to just make my DD's sandwich for school the same way. She always complained it fell to pieces as she ate it. Then I discovered that the bread is parbaked. It has to be microwaved or toasted to finish cooking. I would zap it when I got up and then let it cool to room temp before I made her sandwich or make it the night before and stick it in the frig if the filling needed to be kept cold. It really helps a lot.

If you can find it Kinnickinnick is great. If you can't they do have a website that you could order from.

OP I found the Food for Life bread really gross. Different folks have different tastes though and someone must like it cause they still sell it.

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Biopsy results after 1,5 gfd

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?

      Help with results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms—headaches, dizziness, nausea, irregular bowel movements, anemia, and menstrual changes—along with a family history of celiac disease, strongly suggest celiac disease could be the cause. The mild duodenal changes seen in your biopsy are consistent with early or mild celiac disease, though they could also be due to other factors. The improvement in bowel movements after cutting out gluten is a positive sign, but other symptoms like headaches and dizziness may take longer to resolve as your body heals. It’s important to continue a strict gluten-free diet and discuss further testing, such as celiac antibody blood tests or a follow-up biopsy, with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis. Many people experience a gradual improvement in symptoms over weeks to months, so patience and strict adherence to the diet are key. You’re not alone in this process, and support from celiac communities can be very helpful.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance, most salts, including table salt with dextrose, are generally safe in small amounts, as the dextrose is typically highly processed and unlikely to contain problematic corn proteins. However, if you’re highly sensitive, you might consider switching to pure kosher or Himalayan salt, which don’t contain additives. While bringing your own salt to restaurants or avoiding seasoned foods can feel overwhelming, it’s a practical step if you’re concerned. Many people with corn intolerance tolerate trace amounts of dextrose in salt without issues, but individual sensitivity varies. If your current salt isn’t causing symptoms, it’s likely fine to continue using it, especially given your financial constraints and the challenges of managing dietary restrictions. Focus on what works for you and prioritize avoiding larger sources of corn, like cornstarch.

      Stomach pains etc 2 weeks after start of gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your daughter’s ongoing stomach pains two weeks into a gluten-free diet could be due to her body still healing after months of gluten exposure, as recovery from celiac disease can take time. Her inconsistent eating habits and possible eating disorder behaviors may also delay healing. While she’s now eating gluten-free snacks, her limited intake and emotional withdrawal complicate the process. It’s positive that she’s trying, but recovery may take weeks to months. Addressing her depression and mental health is crucial, as celiac disease can impact mood, and proper nutrition may help. Patience and support are key, but if symptoms persist, consult her doctor to rule out accidental gluten exposure or other issues. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
