Gluten-free breads put to the test.
 | | | We laughed, we cried, we spit some out | | The buzz around going gluten-free never seems to get stale. For those living with celiac disease, giving up gluten is a necessity. Others choose to ditch gluten in the name of gut health or losing weight. | | No matter the reason, going gluten-free can be a hard hill to climb, especially when it comes to doughy, delicious bread. | | So, we orchestrated a test to find out which gluten-free breads actually taste good without falling apart. The winner needed to impress on both fronts because nobody wants to eat egg salad on a bed of sawdust. | | We recruited two people with celiac disease and one regular ol' bread-eating dude. They sampled nine of the most popular gluten-free breads on the shelves. The assignment: be brutally honest. | | The results surprised us. Some breads kept the bar low with a dry or chewy texture, "meh" flavor, and a tendency to fall apart. But we also found a few winners — including a couple that could dupe even the most devout bread lover. | | Check out our honest takes below. Did we miss your favorite brand?
