If you are gluten free and you DON'T eat GF bread, what do you have instead?

[Gifu]

I've been GF for many years.

GF bread makes me bloated and gassy. It's probably UPF and just not very good for anyone tbh.

I don't have a sweet tooth, and I haven't found a good, quick, healthy alternative for avo or eggs on toast for breakfast. What do you have instead of bread?

I usually just eat whatever minus the bread component. This works fine for me.

If you feel you have to have carbs, you could do grits / polenta with eggs and/or cheese. Or even a savoury oat porridge! These can be yummy! Or even leftovers from dinner.

My main 2 are corn tortillas (bought or made from maseca) or rice cakes. I do have gf bread sometimes but not too much since it’s upf.
Rice cakes are great for
peanut butter
jam
avocado
hummus

corn tortillas are great for
egg
tofu.

I’ll do hashbrowns or jacket potato for beans, and beans on toast is definitely where I’ll cave and have gf toast.

muffins and banana bread work well with oat flour. Pancakes and cake I do rice flour and corn flour usually with a bit of blended gf flour in cakes to hold it together - experimenting with Sorghum flour and love buckwheat in a savoury crepe. Almond flour is good in some cakes. Reading paleo recipes opens more ideas

I am in another country, so I don't know if you get them, but I have maize crackers. We get ones that are rectangle, so a good substitute for egg on toast or cheese on toast.

I think you might call then corn crackers.

Some people can eat sourdough bread if it’s been allowed to rise, or sit for an extended length of time. Apparently this process eliminates most of the gluten. Freezing the bread also helps but google for more information

I use the following recipe for buckwheat pancakes: 1 cup bw flour , 1 egg, 1 cup milk. You can add a bit of water to thin. They are like French crepes so nice with grated cheese or Nutella if you want something sweet.

I'm not sure this would be suitable for coeliacs if some gluten is still in it?

This would be terrible for coeliacs......

It might reduce the gluten, but it definitely doesn't eliminate most of it!

And certainly doesn't make it safe for those with coeliac disease or those of us with wheat allergies.

I use rice flour and rice or almond milk for pancakes. DS takes muffin/fairy cakes to school made with ground almonds, I think it's half ground almonds and half gf flour in the recipe but I use three quarters ground almonds to up the nutritional content, I add milled chia or flax, and far less sugar, I think I use 25g. The vanilla sweetens them enough. I think you could probably mess around more with the recipe and make parmesan fairy cakes.

There's also a recipe on diet doctor for a courgette and flaxseed mini roll type thing, my sister makes those. They have psyllium husk in them iirc.

I make potato pancakes and cakes too but we rarely have left over potatoes!

I slice sweet potatoes like toast slices and do them in the air fryer
Really lovely with avo and poached egg.

You could probably slice, air fry partially and freeze to make it handier then just air fry for a couple mins in the morning
