That's so interesting.  I saw it at the store, but didn't get it.  I've had issues with modified tapioca starch in the past.   I've eaten the regular white sandwich bread with no issues.  It has Tapioca Starch, but not modified.  I'm not sure what the difference is or why it would bother me.  I will be interested to see if anyone else has an issue.

I have issues with it also. In my case it is the addition of the sorghum. I should have read the label. My bad. Unfortunately all the breads I looked at as an alternative have either that or soy flour. Not sure what I am going to do for my daily PB&Js now.

That's a bummer.  I have 1 loaf of the old version left.  I'll have to see if Target has any in their freezer.  I use it daily for my toast with sunbutter.

I am pretty sure Udi's has discontinued the old one. It was called Whole Grain, the new is called Multigrain. I can't eat any gluten-free flours b/c of oat cc but my hubs just got the new Udi's Multigrain on Saturday. So far, so good with him.

For myself, I make these:

Open Original Shared Link

I use full fat yogurt otherwise they are pretty dry. I make them in muffin top pans.

I was using the white sandwich bread.  I will be checking to see if it's still available.

They still have the white on their website. It's the whole grain that is no longer on the website.

I can't find it.  Only the new one called Delicious White Bread.  It's the one with modified tapioca starch.

Ohhhhhhh, so sorry. I didn't look at the ingredients on that one. So they have changed the white bread as well huh? Bummer!

I know the new Multigrain is harder to get the slices separated without breaking them. I think part of the problem is the slices are not as thick.

Sidenote: if anyone's looking to avoid oat CC, Glutenull does not use oats in any of their products (breads, cookies, granolas/trail mix). I am sensitive to oat CC, and this is the only company whose products seem not to bother me. I really like their breads, but they are quite dense which may be off-putting to some (gluten-eating-me liked dense breads too).

It's a smaller company, and mostly only available in Canadian stores (unless you order online?). They don't use preservatives in their stuff, so you have to eat it fast (or freeze it)!

I wonder if Udi's knows how many customers they are losing. I have been a loyal Udi's consumer for years and now have to search for a replacement.  I wonder if a bigger company has bought them out? That happened with a favorite lotion and soap I loved.  There is an old saying 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' I wish companies would think of that with our prodcts and not 'gee I wonder how we can make this cheaper'.  Rant over.....

Udis was was bought  by Smart Balance over five Years ago.

gluten-free sorghum is not a cheap ingredient.  Not sure why they changed it, but they had  a lot of problems with the white bread having big air pockets.  Might  have just wanted to make a " healthier" bread  with more  whole grains?

Thanks for that info. I checked & there's no way for me to get it down here in FL, USA

Bad news for me.  I checked both of the stores that normally have the original Udi's in the freezer and nothing.  Just the new bread. :(

Out of curiosity I did the same at 2 whole foods and a natural grocers down here, only the new one....side note I found the only store bought bread I can stomach in stock. They actually carry Julian Bakery Paleo Bread now...starch free, gum free....I was tempted to get one of the almond ones again since I can make the coconut one in my own bakery.

That's too bad... I try not to rely on pre-made stuff as it's expensive, but as I am sure you're well aware it is super inconvenient to have to make all your stuff from scratch, especially when traveling/without a kitchen. Yayyyy rice grits<_<.

Although I have some doubts about the absolute safety of avenin based on my readings the current scientific literature, it's pretty indisputable that the gluten-free food industry has let down celiacs who have obvious reactions/immediate to it. IMHO allowing oats was a mistake, and the previous situation (allowing oats to be labelled as "wheat free") was better for everyone. Yes, this limits processed foods a bit, but celiacs who tolerate oats could still buy wheat free oats for use in oatmeal, baked goods, granola etc. I don't exactly think this is a hardship, considering that pre-celiac diagnosis I only ever bought plain bags of oats, despite being on a completely unrestricted diet ;).

Sorry for tangent! Resume discussion of Udi's lol.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
