I've had their chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, carrot cake, blondies, and poundcake. Everything is good, but I will warn you that it is quite expensive--I only stock up every few months, and then I only buy a few things (for example, the carrot cake is $7, and it's only a small loaf size). I've found that I can cook on my own more cheaply by buying the mixes and such from Gluten Free Pantry and Pamela's, but the occasional treat or two is nice to have. I freeze whatever I buy so it lasts longer, too.

I LOVE the sandwich bread, the blueberry muffins, the carrot cake, and the corn bread... I stock up about once a month, it is pricey, but I freeze it and it lasts longer.

Good yet pricey. you may also have to read the ingreedients if you can't handel things like corn, ect....

I had the tomato-basil bread. It was expensive and it completely fell apart after only 1 day in the fridge. HOWEVER, the taste is very good and if you put butter on it and then toast (to keep it moist) it stays together.

I have gone to my Sacramento WF three times now in the past 3 months (a 3 hour round trip) and have not found *any* of the bakehouse items. I was just there this past weekend. They have very few gluten-free items - no more, for example, than my local health food store. I keep hearing all these great things about them and they do have awesome food (love the cheese, for example) but no particular concentration of gluten-free food. Totally disappointed and jealous of y'all who have better stocked WFs! :(

you should talk to whoever does the ordering there and let them know there is a major need for gluten free items, most times they should be happy to try to bring in more gluten-free products. That is if enough people speak up and say, "Um, could you please carry more gluten free food? and when are you going to get the Gluten free Bakehouse line?"

I agree. We were frazzled when we got there the other day but it was the first time I remembered to look for all the things I read about here. Next time I'll try to talk with someone - we always go at such a busy time. It's not the reason we go to Sacramento but it is a major inducement.

Whole Foods products are fabulous, I have had the regular sandwich bread, I love it, I use it for toast, burger rolls, peanut butter sandwiches, it's all good. I have also tried the sour cream coffee cake, their morning blend muffins, they to have been good. It is pricey, but it's nice to have something every once in a while that you don't have to make yourself. I have to travel 1 hour one way to get there but it is worth it.

PS-ask your store for the gluten free brochure, it list the items that are gluten free and it does make them easier to find.

Enjoy ;)

Thanks for the info. I actually got the gluten free product list off the web site and was happy for it but really wanted to try some good gluten free baked goods. Would also like to find some pizza crusts - would like to have the Amy's Rice Pizza but I can't eat tomatoes. On the whole I didn't find anything more gluten free at the Sacramento Whole Foods than I do at my regular grocery store. Of course I am always happy to go somewhere with awesome cheese.

The only gluten-free breads at this WF are the EnerG ones and the Food for Life ones.

Oh - I did get some of the Ian's chicken nuggets and fish sticks. I had been looking for those. Still haven't found the Food for Life rice tortillas anywhere yet...

skbird- the bakehouse goods aren't coming to California until late November I think. So in the winter keep a look out for them.

Yes. Many don't like Ians, but I do, too :)

skbird Contributor

Thanks, Molly. That will keep me from looking for a while... I always feel like I'm shopping in one of those contests - "You have 10 mins to fill your cart" sort of thing when I'm there because we will have already gone to Trader Joes and likely someplace else and have frozen stuff in the ice chest in the car (for the 90 min drive home) so I always rush through the baked goods a few times looking in every direction possible.

As for the Ians - I had the chicken nuggets the other day and thought they were a little bland but had a great crisp to them. Also made a killer dip of mayo, garlic and fresh chopped basil leaf. Very tasty.

I met Lee Tobin at a conference recently and he gave me samples of some of their products from the gluten-free Bakehouse. The blondies and ginger cookies are very good. I didn't think much of the bread, although my daughter liked it. We tried the pizza crusts later on. They do not have a long shelf life - I kept them in the fridge but they were moldy within a few days. I would freeze them immediately if you aren't going to use them right away.

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months? 
    • Gigi2025
      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?
