Has anyone tried Rudi's gluten free breads?? I react to the Udi's brand so I was wondering what anyone's luck was with Rudi's.

How random is it that they both have the most similar names? Way to confuse us all!! :P

I LOVE Rudi's bread.... it's so much better than Udi's in my opinion. It's great toasted as it stays somewhat soft... not like styrofoam. It also tastes like real bread, and it's sooo good with butter. :D

I can't speak to having reactions with it though, as I do fine with both Rudi's and Udi's (love sayin that :lol: ). It does say on the Rudi label that it's certified gluten free. I hope you do well with it, as it's the best frozen bread I've tried so far.

I really liked the flavor, but found it to be more dry than the Udi's. I let it dry out and will use it for bread crumbs.

i've tried the Rudi's & liked it.

haven't gotten a chance to try Udi's yet.

is there much difference in price between the two brands? (at the one store where i found both brands, i couldn't find a price tag on the Udi's. This was a specialty gluten-free store & they don't always have prices marked well...)

I haven't seen Rudi bread, but I think by far the best gluten free bread is the Katz Gluten Free Challah. I just wish they had a local distributor instead of having to order it on the Internet. It is sweet and moist - a little like banana bread. Whenever I get my order shipped I can practically eat a loaf with dairy free margarine in one sitting...

The Rudi's I got was on sale at a natural foods store for $5. I'm not sure what it was marked down from, but that was a local store that tends to have higher prices. It may be normally cheaper at a place like Whole Foods. I haven't seen Rudi's at my Whole Foods yet, but the Udi's breads there are like $5.69 or something for a loaf.

Rudis definately has a gluten free bread, right??? I was excited to see Rudis next to the Udis, and it was $3.99. I was excited because I remembered reading this thread. But, after eating a slice (very good), I was talking to my friend and we were looking for the iron content as she is very anemic. IT WAS NOT GLUTEN FREE. It was an organic wheat bread! It was even under a gluten free label at the grocery store! Luckily I stopped all my friend I had shared with to try it out before anyone else ate it. :( I am heading back to that store tonight to make sure the take away the label, or move the product!

Thats very odd. Rudi has been around for a long time and makes many non gluten free products. I am from Colorado (its made in Boulder Colorado). Are you saying they accidentally put organic wheat bread in their gluten free packaging? If this is the case you should call them directly so they know they made a mistake, the store may not do this.

the store probably put it in the wrong spot...

i am confused- not sure if it's the same company- or if it's 2 different companies.... but there is gluten free products by Rudi's, and i see them in the freezer at whole foods.

there is also some "Ancient Spelt" bread that my mom gets - and it TOO is made by a "Rudi's"... it's with the other breads at whole foods.

i dont know if they're 2 different companies by the same name??? their company name is in different FONT... but idk??

be super careful!! and let the store know if they have things in the wrong spot! that's dangerous

I went back to the store and they had the Rudi's (which was the organic wheat) with an gluten free label. I let the manager know. I haven't found many stores around her that keep gluten free and organic seperate. I grabbed a box of Van's waffels the other day by accident that weren't the Free ones. I notice that before I ate it though. (I have been expecting a terrible reaction since I ate a slice of the bread, but I haven't really had one. I feel a bit of gas bubbles...but nothing bad. Does tha surprise anyone? I have been gluten-free for about 5 weeks...I have been expecting the worst.)

no, it doesnt surprise me. my reactions were often different and varied in severity... sometimes- the most i would feel is full and fat... and sometimes i would only see the reaction in my BM the next morning (sorry, tmi). other times i would feel like i was going into labor.

Rudi's has been around for awhile and makes gluten-containing breads as well. You just have to pay attention, because some stores will mistakenly stock gluten free items and their gluteny counterparts right beside each other, if the stocker is not paying attention him/herself to the packaging. The Rudi's gluten free bread is certified gluten free. Sorry this happened to you. The safe Rudi's is pretty yummy!

Edit: removed "and is made in a gluten free facility" I just checked their website and it isn't...oops!!

I know it was my own stupidity that let my guard down. I was just so excited to see Rudi's after people talked of it being good...especially at $3.99 a loaf. At that price I should have been suspicious! :lol: I just was so excited I didn't do my normal label checking. I felt like I had the beginning of the flu today, but am feeling better tonight. Most of my symptoms were neurological...funky vision..foggy head..heaviness in my head. :lol: Hopefully I will find the "real" Rudi's!

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
