Franz Gluten Free Bread Products

Beginning in October 2021, I began experiencing problems with Franz gluten-free Seven Grain Bread.  I was paying $7.50 a loaf for air.

Then the same thing started happening with the hamburger buns.  I have photos of the products but I do not know how to add them to 

this topic.  Don't get me wrong,  I like the taste of the Franz gluten-free breads, especially the hamburger buns.

I emailed Franz and I was sent complimentary coupons for free bread.  When I emailed a second time about the air in the hamburger buns, I received a 

box of white bread, seven grain bread and the hamburger buns.  Plus they threw in a new product (new to me) frozen cookie dough.  Has anyone tried those yet?

They are plant based.  But I digress.

Last night, I opened the hamburger buns and took one bun.  There are four in a package.  I split it in half and globbed on a bunch of butter.  When I put the last 

piece in my mouth, I bit down on something hard.  I thought it was a piece of tooth.  Low and behold, it was a straight pin.  I don't know how it didn't stick into 

my tongue or cheek.  Thank God for that.  I immediately took a picture and sent it in an email to Franz last night.  I have yet to hear back from them. 

I have a friend who used to buy the Franz gluten-free bread.  She got tired of paying for crust only.  She just stopped buying it.  Has anyone else had this problem?

I've been eating their bread for years without any issues, and I get the two loaves at Costco for a much better price than any other gluten-free bread I can find. As you know, its also a whole grain bread, which is great.

The only issues I've noticed is that occasionally there are large air bubbles in some of the loaves, which can be annoying, but I found this to also happen with all other GF breads I've tried.

The pin issue is a real problem, and it's good that you reported it. Wow...I wonder how that happened?

About 10 years ago, my husband bought the Bready machine.  It came with prepackaged bread mix.  The label was scanned by the machine and then the bag was placed on the machine.  All that was needed was to add eggs and water.  The machine mixed the ingredients, kneaded it and poured in a pan.  Then it baked the mix to a delicious smelling loaf of bread.  The rye bread was to die for.  There were never any holes in the slices.  The machine and the mixes were very expensive but I thought it was worth it.  Then the company disappeared.  We could not order any more mixes.  I believe the company was based in Kansas.  We gave the machine away because it was useless without the bag of mixes.

I remember Bready! You can use recipes in any bread machine, but too late! I suspect when Panasonic and other big companies got into the space it likely hurt their sales:

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By MO1984 · Posted

      I’ve got the patch, and then 100mg and says MFG XIROMED - is that generic manufacturer?  Pharmacist confirmed there’s no gluten, and im Not having celiac symptoms, just dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, which is why I’m looking at hormone influence on inflammation/autoimmune issues writ large, and not looking at the gluten specifically.

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you for your message - essentially I have not been able to figure anything out on this front. From all I can find, and from people here have answered, then it is extremely unlikely that the progesterone should contain gluten. I have an endoscopy scheduled soon to see if there is damage, and to try and figure out what or where the issue stems from. I did have a stool test done, that did not contain gluten (while taking the progesterone pills).  So unfortunately I am still at a loss for answers.  Out of curiosity, which dose and manufacture of progesterone pills do you take?  I've tried both the 100mg and the 200mg progesterone pills, both from Aurobindo Pharm.

      I’m curious where you’ve ended up with this journey? I’ve just started HRT for perimenopause, and have been having dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, and even developed what seems to be a small patch of psoriasis (which I’ve not previously had)… basic googling has told me HRT can flare up some autoimmune diseases, including lupus and psoriasis, but dermatitis herpetiformis is not specifically mentioned.    so, I’m curious where you’ve ended up

      Welcome to the forum, @Beagirl! What you are feeling is what we have all felt to one degree or another and we typically feel it more intensely when we already have a laundry list of health issues to work around. It's often the result of a sense of loss . . . of having to say goodbye to some good foods that we enjoy that may have been part of a shrinking list of things that are left that we still found pleasure in. And also for many it represents a social loss . . . not being able to accept dinner invitations from family and friends because you are unsure if they know how to cook gluten free . . . not being able to go out to just any restaurant with family and friends because their menu doesn't have gluten free offerings and if it it does, are they careful with regard to cross contamination issues?

      Recently diagnosed with a problem with no cure is annoying and upsetting. Why does this happen? I have enough health problems to deal with and now this. I can live with reading labels and giving up things at I'm 68 years old. I can cook with gluten free everything and not give up good healthy food, look for gluten free restaurants, do all I'm told to do to manage the problem. So I don't know why I'm complaining since it is manageable.
