Whole Foods Gluten Free Items

This is my first post and i'd just like to say that this website has really helped me!

Anyways, I noticed that Whole Foods Market has a new line of gluten-free items that claim to be 100% gluten free and are made by "good manufacturing" but this week I tried the gluten-free sandwich bread and i've had slight stomach aches and problems with "dumping my garbage" (sorry if TMI). Does anyone know a decent-tasting gluten-free bread that doesn't taste like sawdust and won't make me sick?

i use the "gluten free pantry" brand white bread mix, its about as close to the real thing your going to get. the frozen stuff at whole foods is horrible imho.i use a bread maker and use the 2lb mix or you can make a 1lb and halve the ingrediants.the stuff at whole foods tastes pretty good as french toast for breakfast though...good luck finding one you like

Food4life Rice Almond is really good and so is Kinnikinnick Brown Bread...I eat the brown bread every day. The white bread is also pretty good. The only problem is it falls apart easily but the taste is worth it. Try it - you may like it. KarenDianne

I was satisfied w/ the Food4Life bread until my sister made me a gluten-free loaf in a breadmachine. I bought a machine of my own w/in days and never bought a loaf in a store again.

I usually used Bob's Red Mill mix and never had anything but a fantastic loaf, despite the numerous stupid mistakes I made.

Even my non-celiac little nieces loved it so much they'd ask for it every time they were over. (That may have been the warm-and-fresh factor)

Whole foods bread makes me sick too...the only bread that I think tastes half way decent is the millet bread from DeLand Bakery and now they're making you order a minimum of 24 loaves to get, so I haven't had bread in awhile...

:D hi , i found a white bread, banana bread, carrot muffin and english muffin that is to die for. you can even eat the bread without toasting it. i have also just placed an order for their pizza crust. i had some of the pizza when i went to cape cod for vacation. i wish i lived closer because i would be there weekly. the name of the place is good juju bakery . i will post the web site. my last order i place i doubled everything and i can't say enough about it. they lady who started the bakery her name is judith mann and she has celiac and her food is fantastic. the web site is... www.goodjujubakery.com

i love the food and everything i have eaten so far i have had no problems. my children love the banana bread as well as the muffins. i encourage anyone to try them. good luck on your bread search. i will never buy another bread at whole foods unless i am making my own bread crumbs.

Hmm, I was just starting to suspect WF bread was making me sick as well..trying to figure out which of the ingredients is causing it. I always keep some Prarie Bread on hand at home and have been plagued with ongoing GI problems even after being gluten-free for almost 3 years.

Anyway- be careful with Deland..I got seriously sick from their Millet bread a year or so ago. There was discussion on other boards re: DeLand's labeling and manufacturing practices, not sure if they have resolved their issues.

But just tasted another millet bread (from a dry mix) from Tracey's Treats- closest thing to 'real' bread I've tasted yet..light texture, not crumbly. www.traceystreats.com

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
