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:

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.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
