Did I Get A Bad Loaf?

They were out of Udi's at the store so I had to get something else. Canyon Bakehouse has always gotten good reviews so I figured I would try it. The taste was okay but it seemed really doughy almost like it wasn't quite done baking. Has anyone else noticed this or did I just get an loaf that got by the bakers?

I only get the Seven Grain one and it is never doughy. It is like a whole wheat and, if anything, a bit dry. I bet if you message them on Fb or email they will want to know.

I get the seven-grain too. It's great right out of the package but I noticed if I make a grilled cheese with it it is sort of doughy or rubbery or whatever you want to call it.

I find this true of canyon bakehouse too. Almost slimy or rubbery. I think it's the chia seeds. I'm not a fan.

Thanks everyone. I appretiate your input.  I think next time my city's Wegmans is out it will be worth the trip to stop at the big, huge one where I work.

I just purchased the Canyon Bakehouse cinnamon raisin bread and found it to be the same way.  It wasn't the worst texture bread I have ever had but I would put it in the average category.  It had a great flavor though.  Maybe different types of bread from the same company are better like the 7 grain.  I will give that a try.  Otherwise I will stick with Udi's

I do know that Canyon Bakehouse used to have corn in it and it doesn't anymore. That was good for me back when I couldn't tolerate corn, but it might be that whatever they are using now is what is making the texture "off". I still like it unheated, but heated it gets rubbery.

 

I'm back to eating Udi's. They have that giant loaf at my local store and it makes the very best grilled cheese sandwiches.

I thought they might have a giant loaf.  I was at my local restaurant ordering breakfast and figuring out what I can eat when the waitress said they had Udi's bread.  I ordered it and it was so much bigger than the loaf I had at home.  I guess I will have to put in a special request for the Udi's giant loaf at my local Albertson's and see if they can get it. Thanks for the info!

Udi's  sells  to restaurants the bigger loaf.  Starting  last  fall we  find  the  larger  loaf at Costco....

The trouble with the giant loaf is that you need to use more "stuff" to make a sandwich and then you wind up consuming a lot more calories. And it's worth it! :lol:

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
