So you were diagnosed with Celiac disease? That's the only reason to go gluten-free.-3

That's not nice to say to bread.0

What is the question?0

Some of the bread is skinny, so w/e0

Fat isn't bad per say, so watch your calorie intake and check your macros to make sure you're not going overboard with carbs and you'll be fine.
Personally, I just don't have bread... I went gluten free before all the craze, when the only products I could find tasted like cardboard so I quickly got used to not eating the manufactured gluten free products and just make my own everything. I buy it from time to time as a treat but it's just not part of my everyday diet. Makes it easier.0 -
Not necessarily... certain autoimmune diseases CAN respond positively to eliminating gluten and/or wheat and/or other grains from the diet.
OP, what is your question. You did not post a coherent question.

I was told by ,y doctor to stop gluten, wasn't fashnable thing... jvs- so what carbs do you eat at breakfast if may I ask?
- I easyly finish my 1400 calories diet with current gluten free diet- thats the problem .0 -
Fashion is a pretty lame reason to stop eating gluten. Your doctor told you that??? Fire your doctor. If you don't have celiac disease, eat gluten.0

There are other reasons. I am allergic to gluten wheat barley and oat. Allergy is so severe that the smallest cross contamination of my food will cause me yo go into anaphylaxis. I however, do not have celiacs.0 -

No she's saying she isn't going GF because of fashion. She's doing it because her doctor advised she needs to go GF.0 -
It won't let me edit my post on mobile but I wanted to say this. If you insist of remaining gluten free and need some gluten free meal ideas, inbox me and I share recipes and sites that have recipes with you.0

GF certified oats are a good gluten free choice. Cream of rice cereal too, if you're after something hot. If you want a portable or cold breakfast try overnight oats in a jar, or use GF oats to make oatmeal breakfast cookies (recipes abound online). I found a great pumpkin pie overnight oats recipe that is gluten free (*so long as you confirm that your oats are GF)
After experimenting for a while I found I actually function better on a relatively lower carb breakfast, focusing more on protein/fat. Keeps me full and satisfied longer. So now I prefer cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, or eggs and meat over carby breakfast foods most of the time anyway.0 -

There are many other reasons to go "gluten free" unrelated to celiac, but this does also include prevention of Celiac disease in people with HLA genetic predisposition who haven't yet been diagnosed with Celiac.
Relevant HLA-DQ and transglutaminase positivity (serologic features of celiac disease) in the general population is close to 2%. That's 1 in 50!!!! As far as disease predisposition goes, that's not small.
Adult celiac disease also has a long subclinical time period before diagnosis, often a decade, so many don't realize that they even have it.
Celiac disease isn't just about the bowel either. Having celiac disease (whether you are aware that you have it or not) carries an 18% risk of lymphoma. That's astronomically high compared to baseline population risk for lymphoma.
It is also not just about the gluten. Many other undesirable compounds are in wheat that may actually be worse than modern gluten (eg. amylopectin A, wheat germ agglutinin etc).
It should also be noted that foods labelled "gluten-free" have even worse high glycemic junk than the foods they are designed to replace. One ingredient whole foods avoid this problem.-2 -

Side note: if you like udi's they have these AMAZING chocolate chocolate chip muffins. Good for a treat when you need something sweet.

It sounds like your doctor suggested gluten free due to a presenting health issue. This doesn't mean that someone going gluten free is an answer to losing weight - I guess it is good marketing to suggest this but not accurate. There are many packaged "gluten free" products that are high in calories so it would be easy to gain weight while switching to gluten free. You would still need to log your food and keep with in the appropriate calorie limit. It was your overall calorie intake that lead to weight gain not gluten specifically. If you are concerned about getting enough carbs for energy there are many non-gluten choices including berries, greek yogurt, vegetables, legumes, oats etc.0 -

Oh, thanks...I was confused because of the way she writes.0 -
My doc dodn't recomand GF bbecause of my diet, but because of othe medical issues. I am also lactos inttolerance.
i was dieting before GF, but the GF products are twice as much clories in bread and energy bar- that is my problem/
- if i make my own bread hard to follow how many callories.
-the help i need is to find breakfast and food can be taken out of the house without gluten that will help me follow 1400 callories diet
thanks0 -
Easy answer. I just don't eat gluten-free bread.
Its generally not great in taste or texture and the pieces are so tiny anyways. But then I'm also allergic to eggs and milk so I'm looking at vegan, gluten-free bread. Carbs aren't bad for you unless you have a medical reason to avoid them and there is no rule that breakfasts must contain carbs like bread or cereal. Instead I eat a hash brown patty (carbs/fat) and turkey sausage (protein) for breakfast during the work week because I can stick them in the oven while I shower and I can eat them on the bus. I've been known to eat steamed veggies for breakfast too when I have more time.
Other suggestions for breakfasts that are GF: hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs (make in advance), gluten free egg burritos, muffins, plain hotdog or turkey pepperoni (there are GF/LF kinds), nuts, 1 Tbsp hemp hearts, millet grits, puree soups in a travel mug, dried coconut chips, dates, fresh fruit and the list goes on. Breakfast is just a meal that breaks your fast. It can be anything!
And for your bread: use the recipe builder to get the calorie value for the loaf. Weigh the loaf. Divide the calories by the grams in the loaf. Weigh each slice and multiply the weight by the value of calories per gram. Easier than trying to get X number of uniform slices.0 -
My house is gluten free since my husband and daughter are allergic to wheat. We use corn tortillas which are 23 calories each. I actually do not like any of the store bought breads unless I make into french toast for my daughter with Udi's but the bread makes horrible anything else. Breakfast is eggs and veggies, or omelets or smoothies. She does like the gluten free waffles so that might be an option. The Ancient Grain Pasta with quinoa and amaranth is the best. I can make her a tuna macaroni past salad with hard boiled egg etc for a thermos lunch and store for 3 days if I do not eat it. I have oodles of recipes and ideas we been in this situation now for several years.0

If you MUST eat bread, Canyon Bakehouse tastes a lot better than most GF products. But - as has been said before..... there is so little actual nutrition in these substitutes. Check the labels and you will see what I mean. Good luck, OP!0

In England the bread here seems to be genetically designed to make your *kitten* huge.
I don't eat it anymore either and I don't have Celiac's Disease.
Yes I miss the Tesco Tiger Bread, slathered in butter with chunks of ham. But I know it just adds to the fat so it's off the menu.0 -
I'm gluten intolerant, confirmed by blood tests. I can eat it, but have pretty nasty reactions. There are not many GF products that I enjoy, but corn tortillas and corn pasta are awesome, if you can find them. As far as breakfast, I always go for fruit, especially bananas. Gives me plenty of energy and easy to take on the go.

When I eat bread (only a few times per week) I will only eat Kinnikinnick, most gluten free breads taste terrible! I buy it frozen and defrost 2 slices in the microwave. It's even okay untoasted.
Kinnikinnick soft white bread:
2 Slices (57g)/
Calories / Calories 140
Fat / Lipides 4.00 g
Saturated / Saturé 1.00 g
Carbohydrate / Glucides 24g
Fibre / Fibres 5g 2
Sugars / Sucres 1g
Protein / Protéines 2g

Try looking into paleo. All their recipes are naturally gluten free because they don't eat grains. Then you don't have to worry about stuff like bread substitutes.0

I have a wheat allergy, so I eat Udi's bread and Paleo bread. I don't consider them fattening.0
