I've had their chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, carrot cake, blondies, and poundcake. Everything is good, but I will warn you that it is quite expensive--I only stock up every few months, and then I only buy a few things (for example, the carrot cake is $7, and it's only a small loaf size). I've found that I can cook on my own more cheaply by buying the mixes and such from Gluten Free Pantry and Pamela's, but the occasional treat or two is nice to have. I freeze whatever I buy so it lasts longer, too.

I LOVE the sandwich bread, the blueberry muffins, the carrot cake, and the corn bread... I stock up about once a month, it is pricey, but I freeze it and it lasts longer.

I had the tomato-basil bread. It was expensive and it completely fell apart after only 1 day in the fridge. HOWEVER, the taste is very good and if you put butter on it and then toast (to keep it moist) it stays together.

I have gone to my Sacramento WF three times now in the past 3 months (a 3 hour round trip) and have not found *any* of the bakehouse items. I was just there this past weekend. They have very few gluten-free items - no more, for example, than my local health food store. I keep hearing all these great things about them and they do have awesome food (love the cheese, for example) but no particular concentration of gluten-free food. Totally disappointed and jealous of y'all who have better stocked WFs! :(

you should talk to whoever does the ordering there and let them know there is a major need for gluten free items, most times they should be happy to try to bring in more gluten-free products. That is if enough people speak up and say, "Um, could you please carry more gluten free food? and when are you going to get the Gluten free Bakehouse line?"

I agree. We were frazzled when we got there the other day but it was the first time I remembered to look for all the things I read about here. Next time I'll try to talk with someone - we always go at such a busy time. It's not the reason we go to Sacramento but it is a major inducement.

Whole Foods products are fabulous, I have had the regular sandwich bread, I love it, I use it for toast, burger rolls, peanut butter sandwiches, it's all good. I have also tried the sour cream coffee cake, their morning blend muffins, they to have been good. It is pricey, but it's nice to have something every once in a while that you don't have to make yourself. I have to travel 1 hour one way to get there but it is worth it.

PS-ask your store for the gluten free brochure, it list the items that are gluten free and it does make them easier to find.

Enjoy ;)

Thanks for the info. I actually got the gluten free product list off the web site and was happy for it but really wanted to try some good gluten free baked goods. Would also like to find some pizza crusts - would like to have the Amy's Rice Pizza but I can't eat tomatoes. On the whole I didn't find anything more gluten free at the Sacramento Whole Foods than I do at my regular grocery store. Of course I am always happy to go somewhere with awesome cheese.

The only gluten-free breads at this WF are the EnerG ones and the Food for Life ones.

Oh - I did get some of the Ian's chicken nuggets and fish sticks. I had been looking for those. Still haven't found the Food for Life rice tortillas anywhere yet...

skbird- the bakehouse goods aren't coming to California until late November I think. So in the winter keep a look out for them.

Yes. Many don't like Ians, but I do, too :)

Thanks, Molly. That will keep me from looking for a while... I always feel like I'm shopping in one of those contests - "You have 10 mins to fill your cart" sort of thing when I'm there because we will have already gone to Trader Joes and likely someplace else and have frozen stuff in the ice chest in the car (for the 90 min drive home) so I always rush through the baked goods a few times looking in every direction possible.

As for the Ians - I had the chicken nuggets the other day and thought they were a little bland but had a great crisp to them. Also made a killer dip of mayo, garlic and fresh chopped basil leaf. Very tasty.

I met Lee Tobin at a conference recently and he gave me samples of some of their products from the gluten-free Bakehouse. The blondies and ginger cookies are very good. I didn't think much of the bread, although my daughter liked it. We tried the pizza crusts later on. They do not have a long shelf life - I kept them in the fridge but they were moldy within a few days. I would freeze them immediately if you aren't going to use them right away.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?
    • knitty kitty
      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
