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

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease?  Thanks!!!

      Abdominal pain and an itchy stomach were the symptoms I asked to see a GI about. Now I’ve learned these other symptoms—that I have but attributed to other issues—could also be related to celiac disease:  fatigue joint pain canker sores numbness or tingling in hands or feet difficulty with coordination anemia headaches neutropenia I never dreamed in a million years she would consider celiac disease. It was a shock to me. It’s definitely not what I went to her for.

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency.  Your symptoms seem really familiar.  Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac.  A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies.    Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized often.  Caused by thiamine deficiency, high dose thiamine supplements or IV administration with other vitamins, minerals and glucose under doctor's care is needed.   Thiamine deficiency is found in anemia.  Thiamine deficiency in the kidneys can result in electrolyte imbalances and cloudy urine.  Thiamine deficiency can cause high blood sugar which can cause cloudy urine.  Dehydration can cause cloudy urine.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.  Discuss the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi with one of your specialists soon!  Just to rule it out.  I'm very concerned.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.   Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/#ref3 From Section 3: "In conclusion, TD limited to the gastrointestinal system may be an overlooked and underdiagnosed cause of the increasingly common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in modern medical settings. Left unattended, it may progress to wet or dry beriberi, most often observed as Wernicke encephalopathy.". . And... Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/

      What are your symptoms? What has brought you to the point where you sought celiac disease testing?
