I've only recently tried the WF breads, and so far the "sandwich" and the "sundried tomato" are pretty good, although I personally find the Enrgy whole grain to be the best once toasted.

The WF breads are softer and therefore more like gluten containing breads, but as I grew up without breads, other than homemade that always fell apart, I don't care for the sticky, chewy, type of bread.

I have yet to be able to find the pizza crust, the WF in Winter Park, FL always is "just out of it". That said, IMHO, there is NO crust better than the Kinnikinnick mix!

I have to say that I think Whole Foods is universally over-expensive no matter what you buy. We haven't nicknamed it "Whole Paycheck" for nothing!! ;) I also feel that a lot of gluten-free things are way overpriced. I love Namaste brownies, and yes it makes a big pan, but it $7.99 for the mix! I get Celiac Specialties at a grocery store here and the little pies are $7 - 8 too.

I think all the high pricing is ridicuous, no matter where you buy it. But now I'm hungry darn it!! :P

I agree here. We shop at Whole Foods about once a month to get my son the gluten free things we can't find at the 2 health food stores I shop at. My husband came with me once and decided to buy some fruit. He picked this little bag of cherries and when we got to the register the lady said, "do you want to know the price before I ring them up?". I asked her, "why, are they rediculously expensive?" She said they were $14.00! I was all ready to say never mind and my husband says we'll take them <_< . Guess who didn't even eat one of those $14.00 cherries that he insisted we buy?

Ok Ya'll

I don't think that My WHole Foods here in Texas has the Gluten free bakery yet but then again I have not ask either. Gee maybe I can get somthing free :lol::lol: if I ask how does it taste :lol: I love that they will let you try something on them, I always feel funny when they say sure here try it out. Albertsons sure won't do that. I have a Central Market But that is way too far for me to drive, hum I wonder if they do the same. Oh sorry didn't mean to get off subject.

I cant believe noone mentioned the PUMPKIN PIE!! :huh:

The pumpkin pie was awesome. Its really small (same as the other pies) and somewhere close to $10 but for someone who hasnt eaten pumpkin pie for a few years...it was worth it. :D

I cant really eat this stuff because my diet is really restricted....it was a nice treat during the holidays though. :)

I've liked everything I've tried...corn bread, prairie sandwich bread, cherry pie, etc. Nothing compared to the pumpkin pie though....now if only I coulda had some cool whip. B)

If you're in Texas, look in the freezer case. They had the baked goods sitting out at first but they kept spoiling too quickly. All of the Whole Foods I've been to (4 so far) have had a freezer section for their gluten-free Bakery goods.

I think that part of the added cost is the shipping....I think everything is baked in their No. Carolina facility and shipped to the stores. That's also what's pumping up the cost. the stuff isn't made on premises on each WF store.

deb: thanks for pointing that out. the 'shipping' part never occurred to me.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
