Their bread and baked goods are amazing! I am very jealous that you will have one nearby. I usually only buy things there that I can't find anywhere else because I think they are over-priced in general, but their baked goods are the best. I don't like any other gluten-free bread but their sundried tomato is great, as is their cinnamon raisin. I love their banana bread - it tastes like the real thing. Their brand is called Gluten Free Bakehouse and in the stores I've been in everything is frozen and is in it's own freezer. Some stores carry different items. The only thing that I wasn't impressed with is their pizza crust.

They also carry Bell & Evans chicken tenders and nuggets which are wonderful.

I have to travel 2 hours to get to a store but I go there every few months and spoil myself.

Whole Foods not only carries many gluten free products (crackers, cookies, mixes, pastas), but they also carry their own line of gluten free products. It is called the "gluten free bakehouse" and is in a frozen section, near the regular bakery. All of their items are together in one place. I LOVE THEM!!!!! I could not live without their pizza crusts and buttermilk biscuits. Their pies are great, too.

They are all made in a dedicated gluten free facility. One of the head bakers is a Celiac, and he started this for WF.

Your life will be much easier with Whole Foods nearby. However, your wallet will much lighter. They make a Prairie Bread in the freezer section which is quite good. ($5.50 per loaf). Even my son will eat it. We just tried Glutino corn bread and it was not good at all. Glutino bagels, however, are good. They also carry alot of Amy's products, like rice crust pizza, which also passed the taste test. A few other items on our favorites lists are - 365 (that's Whole Foods brand) popcorn, Pamela's chocolate chunk cookies and Glutino mac and cheese (better than Amy's)

Happy shopping!

I've shopped at many different Whole Foods and they seem to handle the gluten-free bakery items differently. My current one (pittsburgh) has a rack of thawed stuff (in the middle of the glutinous bakery stuff no less), but they're happy to go in back and get me whatever I want from the freezer. I do this because the shelf life after thawing isn't very long and I want to know WHEN it was thawed. The gluten-free stuff is all done out of one bakery in NC and shipped (frozen) nationwide. I REALLY like the prairie bread (although, like all gluten-free bread, it's best warm), and the bananna bread. The pies are good too, but expensive. It's a splurge for me.

Their Apple/Cherry pies are the best! I am actually going to start having my Central Ohio Group meetings at the Columbus Whole Foods (their idea, not mine)...they really want more input from the Celiac/Gluten Free community.

The prairie bread and sundried tomato bread are very good (not "light" though!) and like all other gluten-free breads, must be toasted and kept frozen. I don't like their pizza crust - tasted like cardboard - had to throw it out, but I buy the chebe mix there and use that to make pizza crust - works very well. In my store that is in the cake mix, other mixes section in a red bag (they have several different kinds and I think any work).

Bell and Evans chicken nuggets/strips are the best! Make sure you buy the gluten-free ones though - they have both. They are just in with the other frozen chicken/fish sticks freezer in my store. Also they have lots of gluten-free sausages (I like the different chicken sausages) and frozen tuna or salmon patties (Whole Foods own brand).

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
