My grandson has beed diagnosed with 14 food allergies, including wheat, soy, corn, peanuts, almonds, banannas, lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, melons, apples, brocolli, and celery. After researching these allergies, especially wheat allergies, I constantly saw references to Celiacs disease. We had the yearly doctor visit today and after talking with him and showing him the info I found on the internet about Jonathon's ractins to wheat, the dic is going to be testing him for this disease. My biggest problem is finding a bread, or a receipe, that doesn't include anything that he's allergic to. I DID find a website for Chebe breads, but no retailers in my area. It's been a real education researching food allergies and trying to find foods that are acceptable to a teenager that doesn't include burgers on a bun, nor tacos!! Thanks in advance for reading and any help you can offer..Great website!!!

I just tried the Chebe Cinnamon mix today. I liked it to make little cinnamon crackers (think the cinnamon twists at taco bell) but not as a bread product. It is almost all tapioca flour, which gives it a very spongy texture. I'll be posting a review of it on my blog; hopefully in the next few days even.
Luckily I don't have the nut allergies so I've been subsisting on Elena's almond based recipes for most things. However, when it comes to bread, it gets really really hard. It is even worse if you are expecting a traditional bread consistency because most of the flours are just too different.
If biscuits are close enough to bread for you (at least for now), I do like this recipe a lot. Check out the cooks notes for substitutions (like for the corn starch). I made this a dry mix by subbing buttermilk powder for the soy milk and took out the vinegar. I store it in the freezer, pull out what I need & add butter and water (the water being the measurement I need to reconstitute the buttermilk powder).

Thank you so much for the reply!!! I will check out the website you suggested. Now I'll have to find the buttermilk powder. My next quest in my "never ending search" for foods for this child. Thanks again, Jan

Here is a link to nut-free dairy-free (and of course grain-free) bread:

I'm able to find buttermilk powder at my regular grocery store. Check both the baking aisle and wherever they keep their powdered milk, rice milk, etc.
Otherwise, a lot of the health food stores have it, but it costs twice as much.
