:wub: Udi's :wub:

woot!!!!!!!!!!

I'm writing a letter to the company as soon as I post this.

Finally managed to get myself to Whole Foods yesterday. Can you tell I'm happy? lol.. I had two pieces for breakfast this morning and they tasted like real bread!! (unlike the gaggy stuff I bought at Trader Joe's.)

woot!

Ugh those Glutino bagels are like hockey pucks. I ate ONE. The rest went into the compost pile...

But I have about six loaves of Udi's bread in my freezer - SO GOOD. I get to have cream cheese and olive sandwiches again!

I have bought other Glutino products and have been less than satisfied. Their breadcrumbs are too heavy and pasty. The new bread I did buy at Whole Foods was especially good(Udi's) and except for the size of the slices, very much like real bread. I think they are beginning to stock it in larger amounts. Therefore, to keep it stocked and to reward Whole Foods in this effort, please go there a buy a loaf. I am not affiliated nor do I work or have any investment in either company. I just believe that we need to assist companies that have made a genuine effort to supply us with alternatives that are healthy and taste good too.

What type/flavour of Udi's does everyone get? Is it just one type? I currently eat Glutino Harvest Cornbread which is pretty darn good but it has to be toasted. I would LOVE to eat bread untoasted. I would rather never eat bread again than try to stomach frozen rice bread. YUCK.

And I totally agree about Glutino products. Most of them are gross..........

My Whole Foods only had white and whole "wheat" (not sure what they called that one since obviously it's not wheat, but you know what I mean) :) -- anyway, I bought the white because I've seen everyone here saying that's very good. Maybe someone else can speak to the other one. I also bought some English muffins, but I'm not sure now if they were Udi's (I'm at work at the moment and can't check.) Haven't tried them yet.

And that "gaggy bread from Trader Joe's" that I mentioned in my original post -- that was rice bread like what you're talking about. I agree, I'd prefer to give up bread entirely rather than eat that. In fact, I wrote to Trader Joe's and sent them the label from the bread and they sent me a refund. The bread may be awful but their customer service is excellent. ;)

Udi's bread is the most amazing stuff in the world!!!

I was completely surprised to find Udi's bread (frozen) in a new natural market that opened here (in the boonies of Arkansas). It is the best thing since sliced bread!!

I got the white bread and was unhappy to find that a "bubble" had baked in it so half the loaf had a big hole in each slice. The "whole grain" one was even better!!

Oh my goodness, I am going to Macon tomorrow (about a 25 minute drive) to buy a case of Udi's. I need some grilled cheese and CAN'T with the Kinnikinick (did I spell that right??). I was so depressed. So Udi's? Here I come!!!

I buy the white and the whole grain from Udi's. Both are excellent. I've had their muffins, they are good but I am not a fan of muffins. Try them if you like muffins. Have their bagels in the freezer but have not had them yet. Have tried the pizza crust, it's good but I really like Against the Grains better.

Against the Grain (if you can tolerate dairy) makes the best baguettes and pizza crust. I use the baguettes for french bread and subs. During the summer I even make my pizza on the grill. Their rolls are good too.

I really wish the sold Udi's here in Canada! Though, as for Glutino products, there english muffins are pretty good. I haven't found a bread I like yet here in Canada (though I agree Glutino Harvest Cornbread is the best we've got) so I use these english muffins instead of bread for toast.

I need to find some Udi's after reading the great reviews here. Quick pass through my Whole Foods and didn't see any. I like the Kinnikinnik products (bread, bagels, hot dog rolls) but the trick is to wrap them in a paper towel and microwave them a minute or 2 on 50% power to make them soft. Works like a miracle. I also make Pam's gluten-free mix in my breadmaker and it's awesome.

mmmm I want a cheeseburger now. Guess I am picking up some Kinnikinnik rolls tomorrow too lol

We split our Kinnikinnick hot dog buns and tossed them right on the grill to thaw. Worked like a charm. They were good, too.

I find that I don't eat bread much anymore but when we want it, Udi's is perfect. I think I always buy the whole-grain one from Whole Foods. It does make a great grilled cheese. :D

Udi's RULES!!!

Try the pizza at 475 for 6 minutes. It is so crispy and yet a little chewy.

Topping:

EVOO instead of sauce, all over the crust top

sliced tomato, I use the whole tomato

basil or oregano, I switch-up

parmesan cheese, I have grated it fresh or sprinkled from the can

This is one of the best pizza's I have ever had! (and I am from Chicago)

For whoever said they did a quick pass through Whole Foods and didn't see Udi's... (I forgot to check the name on the post before I clicked "reply") -- it's in the frozen food section, not on the shelves. Try that, and if they don't have it at all you should ask them to get some, especially since it sounds like most other Whole Foods carry it.

Depends on the Whole Foods. In the one by me, it's thawed and sold on the regular bread rack. I doubt I would have ever noticed it if I hadn't been looking for something for the husband and if I didn't recognize the brand name. I don't remember seeing it in the freezer cases.

At our whole foods, the bread is thawed and on a rack in the bakery section. The pizza crust is in the freezer section. Doesn't hurt to ask if you don't see it. Well, worth trying.

Also, for the Glutino bagels . . . I agree they have a funny smell . . . but don't throw them out. Slice small pieces (x-sections), brush with a little olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt/onion powder/garlic powder, toast in the oven till crispy and enjoy some bagel chips.

Hmmm.... I'll have to look in the regular bread section next time, maybe they'll have other Udi's stuff.

And, my English muffins are Food of Life. They were next to the Udi's bread so I thought I'd try them. Anyone ever had these? The package is very heavy so I'm expecting something awful like that TJ rice bread. :ph34r: But we'll see... if they're too awful I'll try something like what was just suggested for the Glutino's bagels. Wonder if I could make bread crumbs...

My food place had just received it and she recommended it to me and gave me a sample. But they didn't have it out on the shelves yet so I never would have noticed it...

That was me. I just checked Udi's website, punched in my zip code and there's none within 100 miles :-( Which is odd because I live near a major city.

Next time I'm at While Foods I'll make an inquiry.

You know, I checked my zip code on there yesterday and it didn't mention the place that I've been buying it. It's probably hard to keep the website up to date.

re: Where to buy...

The closest Whole Foods to me is in Chicago, 70 miles away. I bought mine at Woodman's, but had to request it & now they stock it permanently. They are very open to ordering food at Woodman's if you live near one (Wisconsin & Northern IL only, I think?)

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
