Found A New Bread!

It was a little dry around the edges, but I liked it more for sandwiches than the Kinnikinnik (or however that's spelled). It has no info about shared processing and I couldn't find anything, but I ate some a few hours ago and it seems to be ok. I will look it up again later. Made a great PBJ and my son seemed almost as thrilled to see it as he is about Udi's.

I never liked the Kinnikinnick bread (but the hot dog rolls are OK). I like the Udi's whole grain. How does the Nature's Own compare? Is it less expensive?

For me, it is easier to obtain. My son gets carsick and downtown macon is about 25 minutes away (on a good day) so I have to cut back on food, give him dramamine, wait for it to kick in, get downtown, get the bread, and make it back before it thaws (never happens, all my bread is crumbly from being frozen and refrozen) and occasionally clean out the car when the dramamine doesn't work. So for me, in terms of cost of time it was MUCH cheaper (and $2 cheaper is real money lol).

The kid and I had PB and J for lunch and it was reeeally good! We are going to make grilled cheese tomorrow and see what it's like. For kids, I would definitely suggest cutting the crusts. It made great dinos for lunch though (my son likes his sandwiches cut like brontosaurs). All in all? 4/5 stars (only a 4 because of the crust issue).

Where did you find it? In a regular store? I can only get Udi's at Whole Foods so if I could find a good bread at my regular store that would be great! I really don't like going into Whole Foods because I'm am totally incapable of just going in for one thing and coming back out again. lol... I think it's Nature's Own that makes a really high-fiber regular bread. I used to eat that when I was doing Weight Watchers because you could get two slices for one WW point. :)

I bought it at Kroger (our local store). I didn't see it at Publix or the commissary. We made toast with it this morning and my son asked for more! I think I still prefer Udi's but this is a good second :)

Drat, we don't have Kroger around here. I'll check though, just in case there might be one in the next town. And in my regular store (Giant). Thanks!

I was excited to see a new bread option, but sad to see it has soy. :(

Oh well, at least it's one more mainstream company making gluten free stuff. Those that can eat it, buy lots if it's good so they will see it as a success. Once the word gets out among the mainstream companies that they really is a market for gluten-free stuff more will join in hopefully.

Yeah, I think they might be tackling one allergen at a time. I have a friend who is allergic to Soy and I understand the frustration. Even at my allergy friendly house she has to read labels like a madwoman.

But for those of us who can eat soy, it IS a blessing because the bread is the hardest thing, I think.

I think I saw where this bread is only available in the Florida, Georgia area at first. My boys (14 & 17) would love if I cut sandwiches into dinos. Oldest still puts sprinkles on his pb toast! ;)

We have a Whole Foods here, but it is about 45 minutes away and sometimes I go over and get a load of bagels and pizza shells, but for bread I prefer to order the Katz gluten free Challah loaf online. The shipping is a little expensive, but I order 8 at a time. The come fresh, double wrapped and I then freeze them. I take a few slices out at a time to take to work for a sandwich or just to munch on. The texture of the Katz bread is moist, soft, nutty and a little sweet. It is absolutely addictive. They make several items that I could not do without. Their large challah buns are great for burgers or a mini-sub. Their rugelach is totally decadent. It is a little more inconvenient to order on line, (I'm trying to get some local stores to carry this product), but if taste and texture is important to you as it is to me, it is worth it.

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By Cat M · Posted

      Ah ok, I just saw didn’t even post the DGP IgA at all. 😫 I started with itching and hives Jan 2024, been taking a ton of meds and on Xolair and even that is not providing total relief. The other primary symptoms: intermittent but worsening abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating. This summer I am just exhausted. I uploaded my 23andMe data to genetic lifehacks and discovered quite a few variations, including DQ2, MTHFR, VDR and I have always had very low ferritin, vitamin D and B12. I still think that mast cell disease makes the most sense, but latest labs show I am barely in range for thiamine, zinc and vitamin A, so the GI stuff feels more important to figure out than the hives right now. I did SIBO testing this morning. TTG IGA <2   0-3 is negative TTG IGG  3   0-5 is neg DGP IGA 21    20-30 is weak positive DGP IGG 4    0-19 is negative Although total IGA is not resulted, there is a footnote stating it was low and the reason they ran IGG.

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting case. A positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody with a negative endomysial antibody (EMA) and normal duodenal histology can present a diagnostic challenge, especially in an asymptomatic patient. While the absence of villous atrophy and negative EMA suggest that the likelihood of active celiac disease is low at this time, such serological discordance may still warrant monitoring. Some individuals may be in the early stages of celiac disease, often referred to as potential celiac disease, particularly if they carry the HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 haplotypes. HLA typing can be quite helpful in this situation; a negative result would virtually rule out celiac disease, whereas a positive result may justify periodic follow-up to monitor for evolving disease. The risk of progression to overt celiac disease is not well defined but appears to be higher in children, those with a family history, or those with autoimmune conditions. In this case, routine follow-up including repeat serology and consideration of symptoms or new risk factors over time would be a reasonable and cautious approach. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Have you tried to start a gluten-free diet since your diagnosis in 2019?

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen! Just curious, what is your relationship to the patient? Are you the attending physician? A medical student? A consulted physician? Was a total IGA test ordered? Some physicians are under the dated and mistaken impression that such is only necessary in young children. If total IGA is low, other IGA antibody numbers will be artificially depressed. By the way, it is not unusual to have a positive TTG-IGA and a negative EMA. Are the TTG-IGA numbers borderline high or unequivocally high? There are other diseases and medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA numbers besides celiac disease but when this is the case, the numbers are usually not dramatically elevated. It can also be the case that villous damage was patchy and affected areas were missed during the biopsy. Or, onset of celiac disease was very recent and villous atrophy has not yet progressed to the point of detectability.  We also have occasional anecdotal reports in this online community of positive antibody testing with negative histology, as you report. But we also know that gluten intolerance can manifest itself apart from enteropathy. It can damage other organ systems. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning there is an absence or a relative absence of symptoms until the disease has become advanced and there is significant damage to the villous lining or other organ systems. But to answer your questions: 1. I would definitely pursue a routine follow-up and recheck of the antibodies. And, I would order a complete celiac panel including total IGA and IGG stuff in say, six months. Sooner if symptoms manifest. 2. It is impossible to say what is the risk of the future development of over celiac disease. I refer you back to my #1 above concerning rechecking.  3. I would definitely pursue HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing as it can be used as a rule out for celiac disease, though not quite with 100% dependability. I hope my thoughts prove helpful to you.

      Welcome to the forum, @dominiqueccms! Unfortunately, your story is all too common. Some older physicians are dismissive when it comes to gluten intolerance disorders and have this attitude like, "It's the latest fad disease." My advice to you is to get another doctor who has more current knowledge in this area and will take this seriously. In the meantime, this might be helpful: In six months to a year you would do well to get your antibody numbers rechecked to see if you are succeeding in your efforts to eat gluten free. Do you have the numbers from the original testing?
