Gluten Free??

Hey I have Celiac disease too! I've had it for about 3 years! Its definitely a hard adjustment but a good one. Gluten free bread is hard to get use too. The first year I didn't eat any of the stuff but now I like Udies bread! Very good. Good luck on everything =]

I was diagnosed 4 yrs ago.. Udi's bread is the best I have found.. They also have some other products---bagels, pizza crust, cinnamon bread----that are good also....I have tried to make my own and have some recipes but they don't freeze well....

Don't have celiacs, actually allergic to wheat (yes, it really can be an allergy, that's why I have to carry an epi pen,) but I have to say that Udi's so far has been the best for bread, hamburger/hotdog buns and pizza crusts. I don't like their frozen pizza that I've started seeing in the store, I just don't care for the taste of their sauce. Have not started making my own yet, I have too much I have to learn to remake, I figured that anything I can get premade will help til I can learn to make my own. Another brand of bread that I liked, but I could only find at the Healthfood store (and it's more expensive) is Rudy's, their slices are more the size of regular bread.

I want to pass on a piece of advice I was given in case you're like me and you used to eat "regular" bread and now have to go GF: Everything you eat that is gluten free is going to taste different than it's "regular" counterpart, you cannot compare one to another it's like comparing apples and bananas. Try to keep an open mind.

I couldn't have said that any better Rachel.

Since you live far from a city, your best bet might be to make your own bread. I have found some good recipe books for GF cooking on line, also check out the magazine Living Without. If the foods in this recipe are safe for you, I highly reccomend it:

Mexican corn bread

1 cup corn meal 2/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup cream style corn 1/3 cup oil
2 eggs 5 slices pepper cheese
Preheat oven to 375.
Grease an 8 or 9 inch square pan. Mix together all ingredients except cheese slices. Put half the batter in the pan and spread out. place cheese squares evenly over batter. Top with the rest of the batter and spread it out. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned on top. You can omit the cheese, or substitute any other kind if you don't like hot peppers. Refrigerate leftovers, it stays moist and delicious.

If you find lots of gluten free things you can eat, you won't miss the old gluten filled things that messed up your tummy so badly. Bisquick has a new gluten free mix, which makes very good pancakes. Best of luck to you:flowerforyou:
