I am hoping someone out there can help me. I have never been to a Whole Foods, we have none in the area where I live. My finace told me he would take me to the Whole Foods in Baltimore tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone has shopped at this store, and can tell me which of the Bakery Foods are really good.

Also does anyone know if they carry the Bell and Evans Chicken nuggets there?

Thank You everyone!!

I don't live anywhere near Baltimore, but I am pretty sure the Gluten Free Bakehouse Items are the same.

We really like the chocolate chip cookies, very much worth the price for a tasty, chewy chocolate chip cookie. My kids love these for a special treat when I don't feel like baking.

The Prairie Bread is really good if you like multi-grain seed bread. Very good toasted and as french toast, garlic toast, etc.

The scones are really good, all flavors. I like the cranberry ones best.

The muffins are good, but too big to eat in one serving. I much prefer to make my own.

The cream biscuits are really good, but it is pretty easy to make your own, so I don't think it is worth the money.

The pies are alright. I like my crust better, and they are too small for a family of 5. I have to make 2 and that is more than $20! Much better to bake my own.

There are more, but I can't think of them all. I do have a suggestion though. When you get there the bakery items are usually out on a shelf, and thawed. You can usually get them from the freezer if you give a bakery worker or manager a list of what you want and they will go pull it out for you. This is a very handy thing, especially it you have to travel a bit to get home and you are not going to eat it all right away. This way they can go right back in the freeser and they can stay frozen for a long time until you are ready to eat them.

Also they usually have a gluten free list in the store for customers who want it. Just ask any employee and they should be able to show you where they are.

Here is a list of the items they currently make and they are adding more soon. I have marked the ones we tried with an asterisk:

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Prairie Bread *

Sandwich Bread

Sun-Dried Tomato Garlic Bread *

Corn Bread

Pizza Crust

Blueberry Muffins *

Cherry Almond Streusel Muffins *

Almond Scones *

Cranberry Orange Scones *

Cream Biscuits *

Banana Bread

Carrot Cake *

Chocolate Chip Cookies *

Molasses Ginger Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies

Walnut Brownies

Apple Pie *

Cherry Pie *

Southern Pecan Pie

The carrot cake and the sundried tomato bread were good, but not enough of us liked them for me to want to spend the money on them. some of the other things we didn't try, either because I make those frequently and we like my homemade, we don't normally eat that item (like pecan Pie) or my Whole Foods store in Fresno, CA didn't choose to stock them.

Enjoy your trip!

Thank You so much!!!

I bought the cream biscuits and the sandwich bread.

This store actually did not have that good of a selection so I was not as impressed. Hopefully I will be going towards Philly in a few weeks and I hear there are some out that way.

If you are close to Baltimore then I would recommend going to Wegmans grocery store they have a bunch of gluten-free foods. They label their store brand VERY clearly so I buy a ton of Salad dressings and marinades there!

I do shop at Whole Foods in Baltimore, but it is a bit of a trip for me to get there. A few times I got there only to find out that most of the gluten free baked goods were out of stock. Now, I call about a week ahead of time and ask them to place an order for me. I order a case at a time and keep them in the freezer - because I don't get there very often. I like the Cranberry-Orange scones and the cinnamon raisin bread. The bread makes really good french toast.

There is a store in Timonium, called The Natural, that a friend told me has a great selection of gluten-free foods. It is right down the street from a big celiac research center in Maryland. I haven't been, but being close to the celiac research center makes it sound promising.

The Whole Foods around Philly probably won't have much more choice then the one in Baltimore.

I live at Wegmans, that has been my fave store for years!!! They do alot for people like us. I usually shop at the Scranton PA store since it is near my familie's house, but in 2007 they are opening a store in Harrisburg where I live. I can't wait.

You should try their new Culinary Soup Stocks, all gluten free and they are very good. I have made very good soups. Glad to see I am not the only one who loves that store. :)

I also didn't find the Bell and Evans chicken nuggets, and I really wish I could find them somewhere. :(

I've been to both the Whole Foods in B-more and Philly (21st & Callowhill), as well as Wegman's in Mt. Laurel, NJ

As far as the Bakehouse items in Philly - they don't always have a big selection out, but they have stuff back in the freezer. They don't like to put too much out on display b/c it spoils very quickly. Maybe that was the case in B-more?

I'm a big fan of Wegman's too. Love love love them

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Buckwheat

      By Inkie · Posted

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
