Most people's response to hearing you have Celiac Disease, "OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T EAT BREAD?!" I too, would have been guilty of saying those exact words to someone as well a few years ago. Before my diagnosis, I was a bread fiend. Honey Whole Wheat, Italian Bread, Bagels, Crescent Rolls, English Muffins, you name it, I could easily ingest multiple of it. After all, I thought, what better way to shovel food into my mouth then on top of a puffy piece of wondrous bread? Well, those thoughts are long gone...
NOW, my motto now is "No Bread, No Problem!"

Whether the cause for your lack of bread eating is due to our foe gluten, or for other personal reasons, I have found other ways to get crafty with food sans bread! Don't get me wrong, I love me my Udi's and am so incredibly thankful for Toufayan Gluten Free Wraps, but my wallet doesn’t love how fast I go through either of these if I eat a sandwich every single day......so below are some options to test out as a bread alternative! I put my "weirdest" options first, for those who have an open mind and mouth!
Breadless Options
- Fried Egg/Egg White Wrap
- wrap your burger/meat up with this for some extra protein and juicy goodness!
- Cold Cut Roll Up/Wrap
- Stuff your scrambled eggs into chicken breast/turkey cold cut for extra protein
- Use your cold cut AS your bread, filling it with whatever you'd like
- Cucumber Round Slices
- perfect to top with chicken/tuna/egg salad
- Cucumber "Sheets"
- long and thing slices to top with your cold cut of choice
- Bell Peppers
- slice in half and stuff with chicken/tuna/egg salad
- use as 'slices' of bread and fill with cold cut!
- Portobello Mushroom Caps
- use as a burger bun alternative, once cooked!
- can use for a sandwich, but you must cook the cap prior,a lot of work for just cold cuts...
- Lettuce 'Wrap'
- use to wrap your burger
- use as a wrap to stuff with cold cuts or chicken/tuna/egg salad

- Rice Cakes (had to put these here, they lack ANY nutritional value but are another alternative)
- my go to for peanut butter and jelly
- can top with cold cuts, but not my favorite option, but easy to travel with

And to end the post with some humor, because we've all done that before, well maybe not all of us, just peanut butter fanatics
