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?)

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
