Has anyone tried Rudi's gluten free breads?? I react to the Udi's brand so I was wondering what anyone's luck was with Rudi's.

How random is it that they both have the most similar names? Way to confuse us all!! :P

I LOVE Rudi's bread.... it's so much better than Udi's in my opinion. It's great toasted as it stays somewhat soft... not like styrofoam. It also tastes like real bread, and it's sooo good with butter. :D

I can't speak to having reactions with it though, as I do fine with both Rudi's and Udi's (love sayin that :lol: ). It does say on the Rudi label that it's certified gluten free. I hope you do well with it, as it's the best frozen bread I've tried so far.

I really liked the flavor, but found it to be more dry than the Udi's. I let it dry out and will use it for bread crumbs.

i've tried the Rudi's & liked it.

haven't gotten a chance to try Udi's yet.

is there much difference in price between the two brands? (at the one store where i found both brands, i couldn't find a price tag on the Udi's. This was a specialty gluten-free store & they don't always have prices marked well...)

I haven't seen Rudi bread, but I think by far the best gluten free bread is the Katz Gluten Free Challah. I just wish they had a local distributor instead of having to order it on the Internet. It is sweet and moist - a little like banana bread. Whenever I get my order shipped I can practically eat a loaf with dairy free margarine in one sitting...

The Rudi's I got was on sale at a natural foods store for $5. I'm not sure what it was marked down from, but that was a local store that tends to have higher prices. It may be normally cheaper at a place like Whole Foods. I haven't seen Rudi's at my Whole Foods yet, but the Udi's breads there are like $5.69 or something for a loaf.

Rudis definately has a gluten free bread, right??? I was excited to see Rudis next to the Udis, and it was $3.99. I was excited because I remembered reading this thread. But, after eating a slice (very good), I was talking to my friend and we were looking for the iron content as she is very anemic. IT WAS NOT GLUTEN FREE. It was an organic wheat bread! It was even under a gluten free label at the grocery store! Luckily I stopped all my friend I had shared with to try it out before anyone else ate it. :( I am heading back to that store tonight to make sure the take away the label, or move the product!

Thats very odd. Rudi has been around for a long time and makes many non gluten free products. I am from Colorado (its made in Boulder Colorado). Are you saying they accidentally put organic wheat bread in their gluten free packaging? If this is the case you should call them directly so they know they made a mistake, the store may not do this.

the store probably put it in the wrong spot...

i am confused- not sure if it's the same company- or if it's 2 different companies.... but there is gluten free products by Rudi's, and i see them in the freezer at whole foods.

there is also some "Ancient Spelt" bread that my mom gets - and it TOO is made by a "Rudi's"... it's with the other breads at whole foods.

i dont know if they're 2 different companies by the same name??? their company name is in different FONT... but idk??

be super careful!! and let the store know if they have things in the wrong spot! that's dangerous

I went back to the store and they had the Rudi's (which was the organic wheat) with an gluten free label. I let the manager know. I haven't found many stores around her that keep gluten free and organic seperate. I grabbed a box of Van's waffels the other day by accident that weren't the Free ones. I notice that before I ate it though. (I have been expecting a terrible reaction since I ate a slice of the bread, but I haven't really had one. I feel a bit of gas bubbles...but nothing bad. Does tha surprise anyone? I have been gluten-free for about 5 weeks...I have been expecting the worst.)

no, it doesnt surprise me. my reactions were often different and varied in severity... sometimes- the most i would feel is full and fat... and sometimes i would only see the reaction in my BM the next morning (sorry, tmi). other times i would feel like i was going into labor.

Rudi's has been around for awhile and makes gluten-containing breads as well. You just have to pay attention, because some stores will mistakenly stock gluten free items and their gluteny counterparts right beside each other, if the stocker is not paying attention him/herself to the packaging. The Rudi's gluten free bread is certified gluten free. Sorry this happened to you. The safe Rudi's is pretty yummy!

Edit: removed "and is made in a gluten free facility" I just checked their website and it isn't...oops!!

I know it was my own stupidity that let my guard down. I was just so excited to see Rudi's after people talked of it being good...especially at $3.99 a loaf. At that price I should have been suspicious! :lol: I just was so excited I didn't do my normal label checking. I felt like I had the beginning of the flu today, but am feeling better tonight. Most of my symptoms were neurological...funky vision..foggy head..heaviness in my head. :lol: Hopefully I will find the "real" Rudi's!

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in...

      I started another couple of jars today

      Day 2, the day after incubation, I found 1 inactive larvae after sampling both jars. By sampling I mean inspecting about 15 mls of water extracted from each jar. Day 3, nothing. Day 4, I saw one larva in each jar. Day 5, I estimate there were 15–20 larvae in each jar. Enough to inoculate. So I guess that's the answer. 5 days. Waiting l...

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient.

Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
