I went to Whole Foods to buy some GFB reg. bread but found there are two versions and I don't know what the difference is. I love their sun dried tomato and cin. raisin breads but I'm looking for the plainest flavor bread so I can make sandwiches or toast and such. The two breads in question are the Prairie Bread and the Sandwich bread. Does anyone know what the difference in the two is tastewise?

Tiffany,

The plainer of the two breads would be the Sandwich Bread. I used to eat that, and it's very good.

The Prairie Bread, as I remember, has seeds and possibly other things mixed in. :)

Thanks Patti! I thought it was you that posted about this bread but then I went to look it up and didn't find it.

Our Whole Foods is moving next month. I'm happy that the store is going to be fabulous BUT it's going to be over five miles futher from me now. In any case, the current store is closing mid Sept. and will not open back for two weeks so in case there are others out there who shop at WF/Harry's in Duluth, keep in mind to stock up as you won't be able to shop at that local for about two weeks.

My new fave store is Return 2 Eden and you live in the Metro Atlanta area, do yourself a favor and check it out. So far they have the most gluten-free items of any place I've found around town. Lucky for me it's right off 85 which I have to travel to see clients so I just take a small cooler and shop on the way home from meetings.

Most prices are either lower than WF of the same. The owner decided to try and build their gluten free offerings in hopes to increase business. All the gluten free items are marked with purple tags - it's simply wonderful!

Ooh--we used to love Harry's! (No Whole Foods back then!) We'd go most Sundays, after church :)

We have found that late Sunday afternoon is THE time to visit Harry's/WF. We did to go on Saturday but it's a zoo then and you know with all the label reading it's kind of hard not to be in the way of others. If I must have something for Sat. night then I run over during lunch on Friday and pick up a few things. I'm pretty excited about the new store. I guess it's something similar to one I think nini went to in Orlando but I could be mixing that up. Anyway it will be nice and I guess I'll just have to make new longer trek and be thankful that I have such a store when I know others who drive here from AL to stock up every few months or so.

I didn't go to one in Orlando, it was Sarasota, and it was phenomenal!

I am supposed to be doing something with Dr. Joe Esposito at Return to Eden next month... (a gluten free food demo!)

We are also going to be doing the same food demo at Life Grocery and at Harry's/Whole Foods in Marietta...

I've also been asked to start doing gluten-free tours at Life Grocery

i too have tried them both and they're both excellent. The prairie bread, as mentioned, has sunflower seeds and a bunch of other earthy things, so it has a nuttier taste and a nice crunch. The most simple flavor though is the sandwhich bread.

Oh, and fyi, I'd consider freezing a portion. I find mine usually spoils (even in the fridge) before I get to the end of the loaf...

Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to getting some GFB sandwich bread soon but I still have Bry's in the freezer so hubby said no more bread until you eat what you have - lol! We have a reg. side-by-side fridge so my gluten-free stuff is taking over the small freezer. Plus I got some awesome Breads from Anna bread yesterday and I'm itching to make that too. Without question that is my FAVE gluten-free bread of all time. But you have to make it and it costs an arm and a leg. So I'll stick with GFB stuff except for special occasions (like when I want to serve others bread without them knowing it's gluten free). Bry's bread is the best bread to travel with since it's vaccuum packed you don't have to freeze it until after you open it. It's not good unless toasted but then, I have a hard time believing it's gluten free.

Whole Foods gluten free bakehouse sandwich bread is the ONLY type of gluten-free bread I like. I usually refrigerate one half and freeze the other. It is very tasty!

The banana bread is also amazing, along with the muffins (although sometimes they can be a bit dry in the middle) and the walnut brownies! :)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
