Availability and prices of gluten-free Canyon Bakehouse bread

I've never understood why gluten-free breads like Canyon Bakehouse or Shar, are so small and so expensive. I have found the best gluten-free bread, size and taste, are the Canyon Bakehouse Heritage Honey White and Mountain White bread products. I am assuming that many Celiacs must agree because I am very lucky to find either of these anywhere.

At the grocery stores, I can find plenty of those little bitty size gluten-free breads. Slices not big enough for a regular sandwich and still costing minimum of $6.50 to $7.50 for these pathetic excuses for gluten-free bread. The Heritage costs anywhere from $7.50 to $9.50 and mountain white is also high. However, if I find one loaf in the freezer section, I buy it no matter the cost. 

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this frustration with gluten-free breads and if you have any suggestions as to where or how, to get the Canyon House Heritage or Mountain white breads, or, any other bread brands that have decent sized loafs.

THREE BAKERS is equal or better than Canyon Bakehouse or Udi's and slightly cheaper by approximately .50 or more. I used to buy at least 8 loaves/mo. of the 7 Grains when available. Unfortunately, their breads are also small. That's too bad. I have started to wean my family off breads because I cannot afford the high prices, especially with today's food prices. My grandson has Celiac Disease & other serious medical issues ......he has Downs Syndrome, so everything I buy has to be gluten free......very costly.  95% of our meals, I prepare from scratch to avoid gluten.  I'm just glad I'm retired and don't have a job.  It takes a lot of time to prepare all meals from scratch.  I try to make larger meals so we could have leftovers for another meal.  A quick sandwich for lunch once in a while is a blessing.  I also buy only Boar's Head, low sodium, gluten-free lunch meat periodically (when I can afford it).  HOW DID CELIAC'S SURVIVE 2000 YEARS AGO.......maybe because the grains weren't modified?

PS..... I've been following Scott Adams since 1997 when my grandson was diagnosed with Celiac, although I never participated in commenting.  I learned a lot from him.  Before they starting labeling gluten-free, I used a list of ingredients on labels to watch out for....that Scott Adams provided on his site.  THANK YOU, SCOTT ADAMS.

Thank you for your input.  It sounds like you have your hands full and Celiac only adds to the pressure.  I have been using gluten-free 8" tortilla wraps in place of bread when I don't have the gluten-free breads that I like but can't find.  I may try the Three Bakers if I can find it anywhere in central Florida.  Thanks for the tip.

Two packs of Franz GF bread can be found at many Costcos which are under $10 for 2 loaves.

I buy the Canyon Bakehouse in the two-pks at Costco. My favorite thing is that they are NOT frozen, so the texture is more like regular bread. The frozen stuff turns to glue in my mouth. I don'tknow what keeps them fresh, but an open loaf (tightly wrapped) will stay good for at least two weeks. I don't know the price, because I am going to buy it anyway. I'll do without something else.

Carbonaut is made by the same company that makes Little Northern Bakehouse (a sponsor here), and I love all of Little Northern Bakehouse's products, due to their high fiber content.

Never seen either where I live. I'd be satisfied with the Canyon Heritage White if it was readily available at a decent price. The main supermarkets here charge $9.50 when they have it. Walmart charges $7.50 but rarely has it. I'd like to contact Canyon and tell them that their two best breads aren't very available here.

If we only had a Costcos close. We have to drive thru busy Orlando traffic for 40 miles to the nearest one. Dang!!

Perhaps if you have any friends that live near you and go there regularly you could put in a standing order to have them pick up a package for you and pay them back? We've done this before with friends who live near us but don't have a Costco membership.

Good idea, I'll check into that. In the meantime, yesterday, I found "Live Free"  gluten free sandwich bread at Aldi's!! The slices are large and it cost $6.50. Sure beats the $9.29 for a loaf of Canyon Heritage Honey White that I paid earlier in the day at our largest supermarket chain here, Publix. I had a nice size sandwich with the Aldi's brand and it was good!! I love Reuban sandwiches and this bread will work fine. Living gluten free has certainly been a challenge mentally, financially and physically but discoveries like this helps ease the pain!!

I stocked up on gluten-free flour and will be baking my own.  I have a meat slicer that can be used for bread also.  gluten-free products are killing my budget, especially with this insane inflation.  ALSO.....I rarely buy processed foods anymore.  I cook most things from scratch.  I just roasted a pork roast and when it cools, I will slice half of it for sandwiches.

Have you tried using the store finder on Canyon Bakehouse's website? 

You can also sign up there to get coupons, which helps a little with the price:h

Publix often carries the bFree brand of breads - which makes some larger sliced breads, wraps, pita bread, panini rolls & my favorite gluten-free white rolls.

      Gluten free wheat flour????

      Thanks for sharing that. For what it's worth, a majority of celiacs can eat such products without villi damage--which has been documented in many studies that you can read here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/ But super sensitive...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, It's the thiamine (in the forms TTFD or Benfotiamine) that can get into the brain easily and improve migraines. The magnesium Threonate won't help by itself. Taking the thiamine regularly will keep them away. Sounds to me like your doctor is looking for the Marsh 3C or 4 Stage (total villus damage) to make his diagnosis. Those studies...

      A slice of bread weighing 50g isn't the same as 50g of gluten. Bread dough contains other components besides gluten. At any rate, at the end of the day, the antidote for celiac disease and for NCGS is the same, life-long avoidance of gluten. My hunch is that you do have celiac disease but are in the early stages of it. Some experts in the field believe...

      Hi trents, thanks for the response. I started the challenge the 2nd week of April with 2 slices of sandwich bread per day (tried to get a larger loaf size, each slice weighed 50g) and continued that through April/May/June up until my scope this past week. On weekends I had extra gluten foods like noodles, cookies, etc. But couldn't tolerate much more...

This process has been so frustrating and confusing.  I guess the only thing about not getting the "official" diagnosis is not knowing how strict to be with CC (in my early 20s trying to think about the long term effects) but I hope starting the diet will bring some relief either way. Thanks again.

      @Alibu, It's the thiamine (in the forms TTFD or Benfotiamine) that can get into the brain easily and improve migraines.  The magnesium Threonate won't help by itself.  Taking  the thiamine regularly will keep them away. Sounds to me like your doctor is looking for the Marsh 3C or 4 Stage (total villus damage) to make his diagnosis.  Those studies I sent show that damage at Marsh 3C or 4 will develop over a longer period of time. Newer diagnosis criteria would diagnose you with Celiac with your HLA DQ 2.5 genes and high antibody levels alone.  You would benefit by following a gluten free diet. I have type two diabetes.  I used to wake up with migraines if I ate high carbohydrate foods before bed.  My blood glucose level stayed too high throughout the night.  I'd wake dehydrated, foggy, and headachy/migraine developing the next morning.  I was low in Thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin.  Diabetics have a greater metabolic demand for thiamine because they lose more thiamine in their urine.  98% of diabetics are thiamine deficient.  Diabetes is another autoimmune disease that can accompany celiac disease.  Have you had an A1C test?    Eating a diet heavy in carbohydrates uses up available thiamine quickly.  If you don't have sufficient thiamine, the body stores carbohydrates as fat.  The SIBO bacteria flourish with a high carbohydrate diet.  MCAS develops as the body fights the SIBO.   Thiamine improves MCAS.  Mast cells make histamine and release it as part of the inflammation response.  Mast cells can become  hypersensitive and release histamine at the least provocation in Thiamine insufficiency.  Mast cells need Thiamine to help hold their wad.   MCAS often occurs with and is exasperated by SIBO.  I found the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) helps with both.  This Paleo diet starves out the SIBO bacteria and calms the MCAS.  If you change your diet, you change your intestinal flora.  Following the AIP paleo diet and thiamine made a noticeable difference in my health fairly quickly.   Thiamine works with the other B vitamins to make enzymes that keep the body functioning well.  A B Complex, Vitamin C, and extra thiamine like Benfotiamine will help immensely.   I hope this helps.  I had to decide that my Celiac genes were switched on and causing health problems even though I did not have the high antibody levels and visible damage in my intestines needed to make a textbook diagnosis.  You know your body best.  I knew Celiac was my problem.  I made the necessary changes and feel much better for it.

My hunch is that you do have celiac disease but are in the early stages of it. Some experts in the field believe that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease so, if that is true, you may be in a transition phase. In view of how this has unfolded for you, I would suggest going whole hog into a gluten free diet commitment and see what impact it has on your symptoms. This may be of help in getting a a jump start in eating gluten free:

On weekends I had extra gluten foods like noodles, cookies, etc. But couldn't tolerate much more than the 2 slices during the workweek. I had hoped that doing this for ~9 weeks would be enough, since I only did 2 weeks for the first scope earlier this year.  Yes, the doctor who did the actual scope and told me about what she saw immediately after is the same doctor who reviewed the pathology report.
