Any Problems With Whole Foods Gluten Free Bakehouse Line?

Recommended Posts

I suspect I was glutened from the Whole Foods white sandwich bread I've been eating. I've been keeping a log, and over the past 6 days I've had toast 4 times. Within 2-3 hours I've been horribly sick. On the days when I didn't eat the toast, I was starting to feel better. I know they have a dedicated bakery, but I suspect I've been glutened from this loaf of bread. Have you had any problems?

Hi Jen,

I'm sorry you had problems with that bread - that must be so frustrating. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know how it is going to affect me. When I do, I'll try to come back here and let you know.

I had trouble after eating toast (different kind of bread) and I wondered if I should have gotten myself a new toaster, free of all the crumbs and gluten that may be baked into the sides and so forth. Awful thought, but a reality. What did you put on your toast? Could it be that?

Jen--I also had problems with that bread. In my case, I didn't think the problem was gluten. There is dairy and tapioca in it, and I have determined that I'm sensitive to those, as well as grains. Could there be an ingredient in the bread that you are reacting to? Just a thought :)

I have to avoid almost all of their stuff due to diary. Not to mention it has a lot of fat and sugar. But the stuff I can (and have) had hasn't been a problem for me.

I've never had the bread. I do LOVE their cherry almond muffins. I have not had any trouble with them. Possibly you have some other intollerances?

Hi guys,

thanks for writing back. I have been tested for food allergies and the only thing that came up as an intolerance was soy. That's not in the bread. I have a dedicated toaster, so I don't think that's it either. I've been raking my brain and can't seem to discover what it is about the bread. Everything else I've been eating is also gluten free, so I don't know what it is. So frustration though.... I"ll keep searching

I'm guessing that you didn't eat dry plain toast. What did you put on your toast? Butter, jelly, peanutbutter? was it contaminated? Did it contain soy ? Just a thought.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
