Udi's Update

I went to Colorado to see my 102 and 1/2 year old mother, I am sure she was never a Celiac. Anyway when I was there I visited an Udi's store and asked questions. It turns out around 6 months ago they moved their gluten free products to a new and much larger bakery. The demand for their products was increasing so rapidly that they had to make a move. Prior to that they made all their baked goods in the same bakery. They have gluten and gluten free products.

Having said that, before I left on my trip some people had complained about the quality of their product being inconsistent for a few months. It is my guess that the move and the demand may have affected that. I would bear with them. I was not able to visit the bakery because it was in a new location but I did buy several of their products at one of their stores. They have a new chocolate/chocolate chip muffin that is really good and they said they will be coming out with new cookies.

At the Denver (Jeffco fairgrounds) gluten-free fair a few weeks ago, they said their hamburger and hotdog buns are almost ready for sale. They are working on packaging. :D

I haven't found a good hamburger or hot dog bun yet so I will be ready to buy them when they come out. I had a sandwich at their store twice and they were soooo good.

I had my credit card out and was all set to order a few things from their web site (loaf of whole grain bread, package of 2 pizza crusts, package of cinnamon rolls, package of bagels and a package of one of their granolas. But then I saw the shipping charge. Over $25 for 5 items. I know it's 2-night air delivery but I just can't spend that much on shipping. :( The only Udi item I've been able to find in any grocery store is the white sandwich bread and I love it and would like to try other things they make too. Our local health food store doesn't sell any Udi items. :( Very disappointing.

Have you tried asking them to carry more items? I have had good luck getting my stores to start carrying certain gluten free foods by requesting it. If they are able to get the Udi's white bread then they should be able to get other Udi's items as well.

I agree with GlutenFreeManna. Udi's built a new bakery because of high demand and they want to keep up with it and expand, so I would ask store about it and tell them you will buy several of the products they stock. Their bagels are good too.

Ask your local health food store to carry Udi's. Tell them you will buy it. Ask them for a case price. It will probably be cheaper then ordering direct. Use this link for a store near you Open Original Shared Link

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
