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!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
