Has anyone heard about when Aldi's gluten-free bread will be available again? Its been off the shelves for a couple of months. Its inexpensive and my son's favorite.

I would honestly avoid it. Aldi has a HUGE issue with gluten contamination on their products, and constantly has recalls on some. None of their facilities are 100% gluten free. Many swear by Canyon House, or Against the grain. I personally love Julian Bakery grain free breads, their new seed bread....toast like real bread, low carb, grain free, and 100% gluten free facility. Many of these companies ship from their website to your house. OH if you live in the US and have celiac disease confirmed keep your receipts for these and a itemized list, the price difference between gluten-free loafs and white bread loafs is a complete tax write off.

I don't know if this is worth it for most folks. Do check with your tax pro before going to all the trouble of pricing non-gluten free and gluten free purchased the same day and doing all the calculations needed as well as saving the reciepts. It is written off as a health expense and only available if you are someone who itemizes. It may also set you up for an audit.

I honestly only do it with Almond Flours, Coconut Flours, Hazelnut Flours, Julian Bakery Breads, Califlour Foods Pizza Crust, and Noodle Purchases. All of these I have on their own receipt. I keep them in a folder in my emails, and a picture and tagged photo on Hello Receipts app. I also have Account Balance book I converted to itemize them. And show cost difference between them and the gluten versions.....I do not think about wanting to do it with everyday purchases and mixed receipts.

I love Aldi's gluten free bread and have never had a problem with it.  Yes, they still make it, but it is hard to find lately.  I found the bread, burger buns, and hot dog buns in Kentucky this weekend.  The buns are honestly my favorite of all the brands I have tried.  They show up at the stores sporadically, so my advice is to purchase as much as you can and freeze when you find them.

It was pulled a while back due to egg contamination.  My Aldi's just got it back in stick this week, so hang in there slowly but surely it's shipping back out!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
