Gluten Free Bread

I have some gluten-free Kinnickinick (or however ya spell it..lol ) bread and I was wondering where everyone stores their bread.

Should I keep it in the fridge?

Doesn't bread mold faster if it is humid conditions or does it spoil around cold?

I always wondered that about bananas too.

I always keep my gluten-free bread in the freezer, the manufacturers suggest it and it doesn't have any preservatives usually, so it keeps much longer in there. If I make fresh I preslice the loaf so I can pull a slice out at a time and defrost or toast. Kinnikinnick's are presliced so they are easy to pull out of the freezer too...

I second the freezer recomendation. That is where I keep all the Kinnikinnick products, and then I take them out when I want to use them and thaw for a short time in the microwave. I have not liked the texture as much if they thaw on the counter, or are kept in the fridge thawed. They seem too dry that way. The freezer-microwave method keep the bread nice and moist.

God bless,

I just noticed the part about the bananas!

I have no idea if they spoil faster when exposed to cold, since we keep them on the counter and the temperature in our house stays between 65-78 degrees from summer to winter. They still only last a few days in that temperature range.

When the bananas go bad (over ripe, too much brown spots) I peel them and freeze them in a ziploc baggie. By winter, when I do a LOT of baking, I have enough frozen bananas to make about a dozen loaves of banana bread. My family loves banana bread and this is how I make sure the bananas don't go to waste. I do have to warm you that when you thaw the bananas for cooking they are a brown slimy mess, but they have the BEST flavor for the bread! So as long as you don't mind what they look like before mixing them in to the bread mix...This way the bread has sop much more flavor than if you used the just ripe yellow bananas, or even just getting over ripe bananas.

God bless,

Mariann

And I second the banana advice. I missed that one too! It is true (to a point), that the uglier that banana, the better the banana bread! :P

(Want to share your recipe Mariann?) I came up with one I liked for banana nut muffins, but haven't tried it for bread yet...

I will, when I dig out the recipe. I don't bake in the summer and the temps around here are still close to 100. When I get it out I will share it. :D

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.

      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned.  I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including tTg IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG and EMA IgA are all negative, then the positive result for the immune response to gliadin, on it's own, is more likely to suggest some other problem in the gut rather than Coeliac disease? Until I have a view from the medics (NHS UK) then I think I will concentrate on trying to lower chronic inflammation and mend leaky gut, using L glutamine and maybe collagen powder. Thank you for your help so far.  I will get back in touch once I have a response, which sadly can take quite a long time.   Kindest Heather Hill
