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.

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 :)

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.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      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,

      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.

      My only proof

      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.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      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...

      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:

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.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
