This thread has me wanting a grilled cheese. I'm eating low-lactose cheddar cheese on a rice cake for breakfast and it's not satisfying the craving. Now I will have to search out this Udi's bread.

Yes and YES to Udi's bread! :D I asked the owner of my local healthy foods store to stock it, and he did. Others must be buying it too, as he seems to order more each time. I just picked up 4 loaves of the whole grain version to restock my freezer. I also gave in to hunger and temptation and bought the blueberry muffins. I think the lemon muffins are better.

I still want to try baking gluten-free yeast bread, but having the Udi's available has toned down my enthusiasm. The Udi's is expensive, though.

If your local store doesn't carry Udi's, ask. You might just receive!

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 agree on the english muffins. I like them and they work good for burgers on the grill. I like the bagels too. Good toasted with lox and cream cheese. Sometimes I cut out the middle because they are too fat.

I like the Udi bread but if you get the chance to buy Katz Gluten Free bread you will be amazed. Their Challah bread is soft and moist, sweet and nutty. It has a texture like banana bread. I love to just eat it with some dairy free margarine without toasting it. It makes outstanding fresh sandwiches. Because it isn't sold in north Dallas I order it online.

If you go to their website, you can get a free sample case. Their large Challah buns are great for hamburgers or I make portabello burgers.

I do love the Udi bagels and buy 6 packages at a time and keep them in the freezer. I take one or two bagels out at a time and put them into individual baggies for the next day. They are excellent toasted or plain. All I say is thank goodness for these two companies otherwise I'm not sure how I would get through this diet. They open so many possibilties for meals.

Yes! I did request the free sample from Katz! Can't wait till it gets here. :) I agree, I'm so thankful for Udi's. The other night I served spaghetti and garlic bread to my family. I cooked Tinkyada pasta for myself, and toasted two slices of udi's with butter and garlic powder and had some yummy garlic bread. :)

Thank you. I just ordered their sample case (shipping is pretty pricey... but oh, well!). I suspect they aren't in stores in California yet, (at least not within 100 miles of me) but if I like their products, I'll see if I can persuade the owner of my favorite local healthy foods store to order it. He did that with Udi's and now can't keep it in stock, it's so popular. I may just be becoming the gluten free goodies ambassador for my town! :lol:

It'll be fun to get the Katz's box next week.

Happy Friday!

Anyone that can not find Udi's or Katz bread in their local health food store should be sure to put in an oral and written request for these items to their store. Most stores are happy to order a new product for their customers.

That is how I got Udi's bread in my area. My town is less than 3000 people. One of my local grocery stores is starting to carry gluten free items and they now have Udi's because I kept asking. And the local health food store, 20 miles away now carries it. Anytime I see gluten free products in a regular grocery store I aways ask to speak to the manager to tell them I'm glad to see gluten free products. If they do not hear from people they will not carry these products. Speak up please.

Yes, what Ahorsesoul said! I agree wholeheartedly. We must be our own advocates, praise and purchase when the products we need are made available. I've been able to develop a nice relationship with the owner of the Good Health store in my town, and will continue to buy my gluten-free products from him rather than the big chain grocery store, to show my support and respect. I believe in voting with my wallet.

Good idea. I'll do that next time I'm in my regular grocery store. I think I'll even ask Whole Foods if they can carry the Katz breads. They already have a pretty good selection, but variety is a good thing. :) (and my regular store doesn't carry any kind of gluten-free bread so Udi's there would be great.)

I went to my 'gluten-free' store yesterday and they told me they sold a whole case of Udi's in a day! They have ordered more and expect it to arrive Monday, I got the last two loaves :) Yay me

Does anyone know if they can sell Udi's in Canada? I know due to differences in packaging regulations, they can't always sell American products here.

You probably need to check on their website. If they don't sell in Canada, they might make whatever changes they need to do, to expand their business.

Luckily I wandered into a store full of Udi lovers who recommended it right away when I said I was new. I have since found it in the freezer cases of a few local grocers (though they don't restock often, apparently not in high demand in my neighborhood) so I don't always have to go 20 miles to the gluten-free store (Tailor Made Nutrition in Woodbury, MN; great place, great staff). One time the Udi's shelves were absolutely empty and I joined a throng of women looking longingly at the corner of the store which is the main reason we all go there. Then one of the cashiers came out of the back room with an armful of bread. I never thought I would be so happy to see a loaf of bread.

Unfortunately I go to school in Mankato and couldn't find it anywhere down there. The only bread I could find for a reasonable price (as in under $6 per loaf) bounced on the floor when it slipped from my hand; it immediately went back on the shelf and I went breadless until I could get home to restock.

The whole-grain is great for sandwiches. I usually pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds or so to soften it up and, if it's been sitting in the fridge for a while, restore some moisture. The white is great for french toast (I think it holds the egg better than the whole-grain) or just warmed up with a bit of butter.

my son likes udi's bread too.

there is a bakery here in Washington that has a fantabulous bread too. they sell at a gluten-free store I shop at. He likes that bread too!

He does not like Udi's pizza shells though.

When we visited friends in Bellingham, they took us to a bakery in either Bellingham or Fairfield that thoroughly cleans the bakery, then bakes gluten free breads and other things on Wednesdays. The bread was good, but the scones were wonderful! Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the bakery, but can ask my friends when I talk to them next.

Don't forget to look at Kowalski's. I know the one in Stillwater carries Udi's so I would think the other stores can order it. I'm also trying to get them to carry Against the Grain products. And if you ever want to go a little further, try Fresh & Natural in Hudson for gluten free items.

Hey . . . bouncing is not so bad . . . it's when it makes a dent or cracks the tile, that's when it's a problem . . . :P

Omigosh, isn't Udi's just a slice of heaven? I was SO happy to find it, after I too gagged on that nasty rice bread at Trader Joe's (I just can't handle a loaf of bread that weighs as much as a brick..blech). My son cracked up at me the first morning I had a slice; I sat there sniffing it with a blissful smile on my face, & while eating it, repeated over and over 'look! I'm eating bread!'..he thought it was hilarious. :)

Speaking of bread, I got a gluten-free white sandwich bread mix at Whole Foods, I think it's Glutino, & it wasn't bad; since it said 'follow your bread machine's manufacturer's instructions' and I've not had those instructions for 5 years or more, I baked it in the oven instead, & it's pretty good! A little denser/heavier than the Udi's white (but nothing like that rice bread), but bigger slices, & it was only $3 something for the box; I'll probably keep both in the house so I can alternate, since spending $5 for a tiny loaf of Udi's bread is going to add up fast.

UDI's has its own website and you can order it online.

I completely agree! I recently got stopped in a grocery store and asked to do a survey about my satisfaction on various things (customer service to product quality). At the end of the survey I was asked is there anything else that the store could do to improve or to make me shop there more. I told the lady I wish they had more gluten free products, because while this store has a great selection of organics and fresh produce they don't carry very many gluten free items. I told her how their main competitor has an aisle label gluten free. She wrote it down, so hopefully it will get back to corporate and they may pay attention and stock more items. My store with gluten free items doesn't have a great produce section and my store with a great produce section (where I did the survey) doesn't have many gluten free specialty items. Between going to these stores and the various International markets in the area I sometimes feel like I have to run all over town to do my shopping.

I'm definitely making at stop at my Whole Foods when I get back in town next week! Can't wait to try Udi's :)

I tried a different Whole Foods and they had Udi's! I was feeling hopeful because I saw they carried Udi's granola. This was a WF out in the burbs and I have to say the way they organized their gluten-free items was awesome. It was so well organized. The one I typically go to which is in a city has the gluten-free items all mixed in with the regular items. Well no wonder it takes me forever to shop.

I bought the Udi's white sandwich bread and noticed they had the whole gran and they also had muffins. They had a quite a good selection and some brands I haven't seen before. Well worth the drive.

I'll be trying it tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip :) I always forget to look at Kowalski's (I always come out of there with more than I need so I try not to explore too much), but with your tip in mind I wandered a bit more last time and found it!

The co-op in downtown Stillwater also carries it and sometimes they have their muffins (Amazing!). The lunch counter there also offers gluten-free bread for their made-to-order sandwiches (I think they usually use Udi's). I always get the Ben Franklin (turkey, avocado, tomato, lettuce, mustard and onion). It's $5.99 and doesn't come with a side but they pile on the meat and veggies and it's totally worth it. Just be sure to remind them to make it carefully; one of the workers makes the gluten-free orders on a separate, clean counter without being asked but you have to watch some of the younger employees.

I've never even thought of seeing if River Market's deli could make a sandwich. Thanks! I'll be sure to keep an eye on them.

Not sure where you are located. Udi's will be in Whole Foods, Capers, Nature's Fare, Save-On-Foods ...all BC Based. Organza in Winnipeg carries. Whole Foods Penticton carries Udi's as well. It will be in the Ontario market in 4-6 weeks...first natural food markets, then supermarkets.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health Problems • Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds. Been ongoing for a year now. First noticed in the gym. • Abdominal bulge on the right side, not painful but seems to be getting slightly bigger. Doctor didn’t find a hernia on ultrasound, but it was done lying down (I’ve read those can miss hernias). Noticed it like 6 months ago, couldve been there longer. • extremely dry and mildly swollen hands (this started before I started excessive hand-washing), and bloated face. • Signs of inattentive ADHD (noticed over the past 3 years), now combined with severe OCD focused on contamination and cross-contact. • Growth/puberty seemed to started after going gluten-free. Before that I was not developing. Dont know if any of these are because of celiac as my dad doesnt have those and he is a lot less strict gluten-free then me. I also had pancreatic elastase tested four times: values were 46 (very low), 236, 158, and 306 (normal). Gastroenterologist said one normal value is enough and I don’t have EPI. Family doctor prescribed Kreon anyway (after I pushed for it), and I just started taking 1 capsule (10,000 units) with meals 2 days ago, but couldn‘t see effects yet because I’ve been constipated the last few days. Maybe because of thyroid. I don’t have Hashimoto’s. No thyroid antibodies. But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels. My thyroid levels fluctuated between borderline low and low-normal. And recently lowered my dose so that may have caused the constipating. I probably didn’t need it in the first place, and am thinking about stopping it soon.   Current Diet Right now, I only eat a very limited set of “safe” foods I prepare myself: • Gluten-free bread with tuna or cheese • Milk and cornflakes • gluten-free cookies/snacks • Bananas (the only fruit I trust right now) I rarely eat other fruits or vegetables, because I’m scared of contamination. My dad, who also has celiac but doesn’t care about CC, buys fruits, and he might’ve picked them up right after handling gluten bread. That makes me feel unsafe eating them. Even fruit at stores or markets feels risky because so many people with gluten on their hands touch them.   My Home Situation (Shared Kitchen) We’re a family of 5. Only my dad and I have celiac. He eats glutenfree but doesn’t care about CC and sometimes (but rarely) cheats. My mom and siblings eat gluten bread at every meal. My mom is honest (so if i ask her to be cautious, she most likely would try to), but doesn’t seem to understand how serious celiac is. She: • Stopped using gluten flour • only cooks gluten-free meals (but they still heat up gluten bread and also cook gluten noodles) • Keeps separate butter/jam/jars for me • Bought me a stainless steel pan Bu we didn’t replace old wooden utensils, cutting boards, or other pans. The new they bought me pan was even carried home in a shopping bag with gluten bread in it, which triggered my OCD. It also has a rubber handle and I’m scared it might still hold onto gluten. Even if it’s washed well, it’s stored next to other pans that were used for gluten food/bread. Our kitchen table is used for eating gluten bread daily. My mom wipes it but not with soap. I’m scared tiny particles remain. If she made gluten-free bread dough on a board at the table, I’d still worry about cross contmaination contamination even with something under the dough and on the table as at one point the dough would probably touch the table. So I stopped eating anything she makes.   I know OCD is making it worse, but I can’t tell how much of my fear is real and how much is anxiety. Examples: • I wash my hands 20–30 times a day — before eating, after touching anything at home or outside, after using my phone/laptop. • I don’t let others touch my phone, and I’m scared to use my laptop because friends at school or my brother (who eat gluten) have touched it. And it annoys me a lot when others touch my stuff and feels like it got contaminated and is unsafe instantly. • I stopped eating while using my phone or laptop, afraid of invisible gluten being on them. • I wash my hands after opening food packaging (since it was on store cashier belts where gluten food is placed). • I avoid sitting anywhere except my bed or one clean chair. • I won’t shake hands with anyone or walk past people eating gluten. • At school, when switching classes, I wash my hands before getting out my laptop, again before opening it, etc. • I open door knobs with my elbows instead my hands   Job Concerns (Powder Coating, Sandblasting, Etc.) I’m working a temporary job right now that involves: • Powder coating • Sandblasting • Wet spray painting • Anodizing There’s also a laboratory. I don’t need this job, and my OCD makes me believe that dust or air particles there might contain gluten somehow. Should I quit?   Doctors Haven’t Helped My family doctor told me: “Asymptomatic celiac isn’t serious, if you have no symptoms, your intestines won’t get damaged, so you don’t need a gluten-free diet.” I knew that was wrong, but he wasn’t open to listening. I just nodded and didn‘t argue. My gastroenterologist (who’s also a dietitian) said: „If your antibodies are negative, there’s no damage. It might even be okay to try small amounts of gluten later if antibodies stay negative.“ Also said, pepper that says “may contain gluten” is fine if it only contains pepper. She was more informed than my family doctor but didn’t seem to fully understand celiac either.   Questions I Need Help With 1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks, if we get separate pans/ and boards even if gluten is still used in the same kitchen? There will always be low risk of cc chances like that she will still touch stuff that was touched by her and my siblings after they ate gluten. And as there are gluten eaters in the house and she also prepares and eats gluten. So would opening the fridge then getting the food and touching the food be okay? So basically what i am doing, washing my hands multiple times while preparing food, she would only wash it once before, then touch anything else (for example water tap or handles) that were touched with gluteny hands, then also touch the food. I dont know if I ever could feel safe, I could try telling her how important cc really is. And I trust her so she wouldnt lie to me then be careless about cc, but idk how safe it really can be if she and everyone else keeps eating gluten and touching stuff in the house after eating. 2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or school desks? Or like if i went to the gym, I would be touching stuff all the time, so there will be small amounts of gluten and those would get transferred on my phone if I touch my phone while in the gym. But I want to knos if it would be enough to do damage. 3. Is an endoscopy (without biopsy) enough to tell if my intestines are healed? I’d pay privately if it could help and if i dont get a refferal. Or do i need a biopsy? 4. Could my job (powder coating, sandblasting, etc.) expose me to gluten or damage my intestines through air/dust? 5. Do I need certified gluten-free toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, or moisturizer? (For example: Vaseline and Colgate don’t contain gluten ingredients but say they can’t guarantee it’s gluten-free.) 6. Is spices like pepper with “may contain traces of gluten” safe if no gluten ingredients are listed? Or does everything need to be labeled gluten-free?  7. Is continuing to only eat my own food the better choice, or could I eventually go back to eating what my mom cooks if she’s careful? 8. is cutlery from dishwasher safe if there are stains? Stuff like knives is used for cutting gluten bread or fork for noodles etc. I often see stains which i dont know if its gluten or something else but our dish washer doesnt seem to make it completely clean. 9. I wash my hands multiple times while preparing food. Do i need to do the same when touching my phone. Like if i touch the fridge handle, I wash my hands then touch the phone. I dont eat while using my phone but i leave it on my bed and pillow and my face could come in contact with where it was.  10. Do i need to clean my phone or laptop if theyve been used by people who eat gluten? Even if no crumbs fall onto my keybaord, i mean because of invisible gluten on their fingers. 11. Does medication/supplements have to be strictly glutenfree? One company said they couldn‘t guarantee if their probiotics don’t contain traces of gluten.  12. I had bought supplements in the past, some of them say glutenfree and some of them dont(like the brand „NOW“ from iherb). I bought them and used them when i wasnt washing my hands so often, are they still safe? As I touched and opened them after touching door knobs, water taps etc. It was like a year ago when i bought those and even though i was eating gluten-free, I never worried about what i touch etc. I know this post is long. I’m just extremely overwhelmed. I’m trying to protect myself from long-term health damage, but the OCD is destroying my quality of life, and I honestly don’t know what’s a reasonable level of caution anymore. Thanks for reading.

      beans in dessert recipes

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any recommendations for recipes?  Thanks.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like consistency.  Unfortunately, I have a bad reaction to avocados.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.
