Though I found their "Wonderful Bread" to be a flop. It didn't rise, and tasted terrible, But then I can't adjust to the bean flour, I don't care for it one bit. Still searching for good GF bread I can bake at home. But I did come up with a GREAT scone recipe!

I buy Pamela's brand bread mix in bulk from Amazon.com. We make it in the bread machine. All 4 of my kids will eat it especially the day I make it. And only one is GF. We also buy Pamel's brand pancake mix which can be used for many different things like cookies, doughnuts and banana bread. The package & website have many recipes.

Since I have cut out the gluten in my diet, so many good things have happened to me. First, I have lost 16 pounds without doing anything else. My arthritis stopped in its tracks and all corns on my toes and between my toes are all gone. I love not eating wheat/gluten products. I make it really simple for myself and I don't stress out about it. I use the KISS method (keep it simple stupid). If the food I buy has an ingredients list, I don't eat it. I only eat real food like meat, eggs, veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds and very few GF snacks when the urge hits. I make coconut bars with shredded coconut, brown rice syrup, and dried organic pineapples or chocolate chips or whatever fruit is around that is organic. Yummy!!! I get my "good" fat w/o any gluten. I eat out sometimes and I always ask to speak to the chef if the wait staff can't help me. Because of all the problems I had trying to find what was wrong with me, I have now become a certified nutritionist. I have also joined our local GIG (gluten intolerance group) which has helped out tremendously. Find one in your area :) Hope this helps ! Hi All,

It is the very best we have found. We really like their pizza crust too. There are several restaurants here that will make pizza fir us when we bring in our own crust. Don't give up! Concentrate on what you CAN eat instead of what you can't. Take old tries and true recipes you love a tweak them to be GF. You will find you can eat almost anything. Remember too it is your future health in the balance. Our family members who did not stick to GF eating now have neurological problems, diabetes, etc. We buy Udi’s too.

I have tried at least 6 different gluten free breads, frozen, loaf, and mix and I would rather eat saw dust than any of the. I asked friends to try the different ones and they all agreed, the breads are ineditable. Does anyone have a recipe or a brand name for a gluten free bread that actually tastes alright? So far, I am using lettuce as bread for sandwiches. I’m not having to bad of a time going gluten free except for bread.

I am now so thankful because I don't have diabetes or hypertension or any major debilitating disease that the average person seems to have and I work at least 80 hours a week . So anybody reading this who feels like they can't follow the diet - keep trying and it will be second nature pretty soon and you will feel so much better than you did eating gluten. You'll look great and your friends will think you're younger than you are.

I totally agree that it seems daunting at the beginning, but now it hardly bothers us. I admit that it does help if you like to cook. All meal does not have gluten in it;corn meal is free of gluten and it really is not that hard to make your own cornbread. I make mine in a cast iron 12 inch skillet and freeze it. It makes great stuffing for turkey or chicken.Best of luck and please know that with time it becomes a lot easier and so many restaurants now are really making an effort to serve us gluten free food!

It does take time. There are a lot of foods you can eat that are in your regular grocery store. Double check....but I believe Chi Chi's has a corn bread mix that is gf.and it is pretty cheap. Do you have the grocery guide? It is a HUGE help. I find more and more things in there. It really saved me on knowing what I can eat. I too was very depressed when I found out but when you have the guide......you see how much you really can eat. Good Luck and stick with the gluten free diet!!
