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

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
