I miss Wonder Bread. That is why I am so happy to have found Udi's gluten-free white sandwich bread. It's just like the stuff I used to eat in t'he old days. It's soft and delicious! I had Whole Footds order it for me, but some stores carry it all the time. And you can order online!

I just had a peanut butter sandwich and I am in heaven!

You can't order this on-line, though?

I guess not :o A friend told me some Safeways and King Scooper stores carry it. I would call your local grocer and ask them to order it. That's what my Whole Foods did, but I think some Whole Foods carry it :o .

I just read on a bmog that they will send online orders. Email them at info@udisfood.com

Just have to chime in - I buy the Udi's gluten free whole grain bread.

It is the closest thing to "real" bread that I've found thus far. It's light, airy, good texture (not heavy and gummy like many gluten-free breads can be). I am a big Udi's fan.

I get it in the gluten-free Frozen section at my King Soopers, but nearby Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers also carries it (in freezer as well).

I talked to the ordering person at Whole Foods Market this am, and they will be carrying Udi's products nationwide soon- she said it could be a few weeks or a few months, but they are working on it!

I called Udi's in Denver, they're not in the Southeast yet. I called my local Whole Foods and they don't carry it yet. Udi's said they are working on a site as we speak so we can order online, but right now their gluten-free line is not set up for online ordering. You can order over the phone by calling 303-657-6366. They do have a very hefty shipping fee because it's frozen and has to go out Fed-Ex. I was told we can order the bread by the case to make one order count.

I sure hope they come to the Southeast soon. The shipping fee is an owie!! :o

If you live in the Bay Area, CA.....

Draeger's carries Udi's. I just brought home the lemon streusel muffins yesterday. YUMMY! SUPER DUPER YUMMY! My daughter and & ate all 4 already. Darn.

One interesting thing I noted is that they contain sunflower lecithin. That's the first time I've seen that. Seems it's always soy lecithin. I'm thrilled since I can't tolerate the soy lecithin. Yeah! :P

I really love the Udi's white bread as well. The best part about it....it does not have to be kept frozen. I keep mine in my pantry and don't have to toast it before eating. Love it!!! B)

I almost ordered Udi's a few weeks ago because someone mentioned in another thread how soft and great it was. I was really excited to try it. So, I called their place in Denver and asked a few questions........I think I may have gotten an inexperienced employee, but she couldn't tell me whether or not the bread was dairy free. Also, when they answered the phone it was something like "Udi's granola and bakery". When I said I wanted to inquire about some ingredients in their products she asked "regular or gluten free". This lead me to "oh, so you are NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility?" I was informed that the granola facility, which produces a gluten product, is in a separate location from the bakery, BUT the bakery is also NOT completely gluten free. This just made me nervous and I never called back to ask about the dairy or order from the "person who handled the gluten free". Also, don't expect to get any in a hurry; on a Tuesday I found out that they ONLY ship orders out on Mondays and even if you place your order on a Monday it won't ship until the following Monday.

I was just wondering if any really sensitive to gluten-types have tried these products, and if so did you react? I would really like to try it but am just nervous. And if I can ask, how much was the shipping fee? This almost seems like a ploy to me to have you order a whole case. I'm probably just dwelling on my bad impression though.

I really love the Udi's bread, we get from our local gluten-free store! Yum! It's worth trying to get, and my "glutenoid" wife and kids think it's just like real gluten bread, so I have to lock it up. The price tag is a dead giveaway though... It's never given me symptoms, just the wallet hurts, when everybody eats MY bread! :)

I'm pretty sensitive. Half the time I eat at our favorite places with "gluten free" menu, I have symptoms which include bloating, belching, & vomitting, so I don't order very often when I do go out with my family. Symptoms occur within 10-15 min after ingestion, and lasts up to 2 days (just for minor CC--it's much worse when I actually mess up). I have to make my 3 yr old wash her hands after eating (even just a cookie), as she sometimes sticks her finger into my mouth when I'm not looking--that get's me sick like clockwork. :angry: I also have to use a paper towel to touch the fridge door when grabbing ice for my soda.

You know, I think it's time for a grilled cheese sandwich! It's nice to have the option. :D

They only ship by Fed-Ex because they said it needs to be frozen. The shipping fee is $25.00 for a case about $30.00.

I get sick from Udi's gluten free bread every time. Unfortunately I have eaten dozens of loaves because it is so good. I had to go cold turkey about a month ago as I was getting a low grade glutening every day. Since I went cold turkey only once or twice a reaction. One associated with a box of Van's waffles. The other I think was cc in my kitchen.

Udi's does produce "regular" baked goods, however, they have a completely separate gluten free facility for the gluten free items.

Here's a clip from a write up on them, and a link to their website w/gluten-free info:

"They recently started to produce gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free products in a dedicated gluten free bakery. I sampled the Whole Grain Bread which was amazing! In addition to the Whole Grain Bread they also make:

*Lemon Streusel Muffins

*Blueberry Muffins

*White Sandwich Bread

*Pizza Crusts

Udi's Gluten Free Foods are currently available in Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, Utah, Kansas, and New Mexico at grocery chains such as Whole Foods, King Soopers, Vitamin Cottage, Kowalski's Markets, Lund's & Byerly's, United Supermarkets, and Central Market. "

This thread is one of the reasons I love this site! I would not try this bread if it was not for your posting. I'm going hunting for it this week.

I called back today and spoke to someone who seemed more knowledgable and she told me that indeed it IS a dedicated gluten-free bakery where the bread is made. It also is dairy free, so I ordered some; excited to try it!

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946,  Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit.  Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over.  Have you been checked for SIBO?  There's a significant link between length of Omeprazole use and SIBO.  I had SIBO, thrush (Candida) and lichen planus and other problems while I was on Omeprazole.  I had to stop taking it.  It was a horrible time, so I understand how painful and frustrating it is.   You change your microbiome (the bacteria and microbes living inside you) by changing what you eat.  They eat what you eat.  Change the menu and you get different customers.   I changed my diet.  I cut out dairy because I was reacting to the casein and lactose.  I cut out all processed foods and most carbohydrates. I ate meat and veggies mostly, some fruit like apples and mandarin oranges.  By cutting out all the excess carbohydrates, lactose, and empty carbs in processed gluten-free foods, the opportunistic microbes get starved out.  SIBO bacteria send chemical messages to our brains demanding more carbs, so be prepared for carb cravings, but don't let the microbiome control you!   The skin and digestive system is continuous.  The health of our outside skin reflects the health of our gastrointestinal system.  Essential B vitamins, like Thiamine B 1 and especially Niacin B 3, are needed to repair intestinal damage and keep bad bacteria in check.  Niacin helps improve not only the intestinal tract, but also the skin.  Sebaceous Hyperplasia is linked to being low in Niacin B 3.  Lichen Planus is treated with Niacinamide, a form of Niacin B 3.   Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make.  We must get them from our food.  If our food isn't digested well (low stomach acid from Omeprazole causes poor digestion), then vitamins aren't released well.  Plus there's a layer of SIBO bacteria absorbing our vitamins first between the food we've eaten and our inflamed and damaged villi that may have difficulty absorbing the vitamins.  So, taking vitamin supplements is a way to boost absorption of essential nutrients that will allow the body to fight off the microbes, repair and heal.   Doctors are taught in medical learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies.  The importance of nutrition is downplayed and called old fashioned.  Doctors are taught we have plenty to eat, so no one gets nutritional deficiency diseases anymore.  But we do, as people with Celiac disease, with impaired absorption.  Nutritional needs need to be addressed first with us.  Vitamins cannot be patented because they are natural substances.  But pharmaceutical drugs can be.  There's more money to be made selling pharmaceutical drugs than vitamins.   Makes me wonder how much illness could be prevented if people were screened for Celiac disease much earlier in life, instead of after they've been ill and medicated for years.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.   Interesting Reading: The Duration of Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy and the Risk of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12250812/#:~:text=The long-term use of,overgrowth dynamics is less clear.

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor.  I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.
