Is Udi's Bread Always Frozen?

I have just bought my first loaf of Udi's bread here in San Francisco. I haven't tasted it yet--put it straight in the freezer. Most of the bread I see is frozen in the stores. Is this always the case with Udi's bread? Do people buy it frozen and then just defrost it for sandwiches?

At Mothers Market in Orange County, some of the stores put it on the shelf with the regular bread. Not even refrigerated! I leave mine in the fridge after taking it out of the freezer.

At the Whole Foods I go to, it's on a shelf along with the other Udi's baked goods--not in the freezer. :)

I get my UDI's loaves at Whole Foods and it's on the shelf, not frozen! And I leave mine right on the counter...the loaf has been there over a week before and nothing has happened to it, tastes good still!

Yep, UDI's at my Whole Foods is on the shelf, but in a separate gluten-free section. I freeze mine as soon as I get home and just pull out slices as I need them. I love Udi's bread and pizza crust!!

I'm lucky and can drive to Udi's and get a loaf that is not frozen, but at grocery stores it is always frozen. We keep a loaf in our kitchen, undefrosted and it keeps well for about a week (we've never had a loaf go uneaten that long anyway). It's the only gluten-free bread I've found that is truly edible and tasty straight out of the package.

Well, I can only get it frozen in San Francisco . . . but I ain't complaining--this stuff is amazing. I can actually make decent sandwiches. Great stuff!

I've been buying Udi bread fresh from Whole Foods but I recently found another bread that I love even more. Unfortunately I can't get it around the Dallas area so I have to order it online. The Katz Gluten Free bread/bakery line is excellent. The Challah has a sweet nuttiness and the slices are moist and fluffy. It doesn't break or crumble. I started off toasting it and tried it without toasting and was hooked. I've used it for sandwiches with the Daiya no dairy cheddar cheese shreds for grilled cheese sandwiches and with homemade chicken salad sandwiches - very yummy. Their buns and baked goods are delicious. This product really is even better than Udi... just not as convenient to buy.

Agreed - Katz is awesome! Their mini challahs and their cinnamon rugelich are so good!

I like Udi's a lot, too. I bought mine at Woodman's and it was in the frozen section next to Katz and Kinnikinick.

Hi, I, too am an Udi's fan, and live in the Bay Area. Where do you buy Udi's? I've found it at Whole Foods in San Mateo, and at Good Health in the Oceana Market in Pacifica. It's so good to have real sandwiches again...

I too can only find it frozen where I am at. THe first time I bought it I was so excited based on the reviews here. The first loaf was really good. I ate it out of the package and it made a heck of a grilled cheese. I went back and bought four more loves and I have one left in the freezer. Maybe I'ts just me or I got my bread fix out of my system, but the two loaves I have had since have not been very good except for grilled cheese. The bread has been really, really really, (O.K. I guess you get the point) dry. Noone seems to like it now. I don't think I will spend the money to buy it anymore because these loaves have been a disappointment. I guess it was good while it lasted.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Known1 · Posted

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago.  As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins.  I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items.  Both were purchased from Amazon. 1.  Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2.  Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin with Bromelain Vitamin C and Zinc Between those two, I am ingesting 2000 IU of vitamin D per day. Best of luck, Known1

To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night.

Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.
