Just got back from a trip to So. Wisconsin and went to the Whole Foods in Madison, the only one in Wisconsin. They now have baked goods baked in their own bakery and shipped in. My guess is that they go through a LOT of it as what I got from the shelf was partly frozen and they probably can't even keep it out there long enough for it to thaw. I passed up the cookies, pies etc. but bought the cinnamon raison bread and it is soooooooooo good, I just can't even tell you how much. It is as good as the best cinnamon raison bread that I have ever had. These people are going be rich just off their gluten-free baked goods alone if the rest is as good as the product that I bought. What a treat to buy something that is of this quality. I also bought Energy pretzles with sesame seeds that are excellent....had never seen them before and I think I will try to see if my health food store will get them in for me. They are dark brown, light and buttery and the sesame seeds add a nice touch. REALLY good pretzles. Just wanted to share these two great products with you.

My dad lives about 4 blocks from there! Awesome, now I can check it out when I visit. I was wondering if they had a bake shop at that store.

Not all Whole Foods stores carry the items from the gluten-free Bakehouse. I checked out the website and was glad I did because the store I was planning to go to does not carry the line. So I am bringing my daughter to a different location tomorrow to stock up. She is really excited! Anyway, just thought I'd let you know it is a good idea to check the website first since some of you have to travel long distances to get to a Whole Foods. Also, someone on Delphi suggested bringing a cooler to those of you who do travel far for your gluten-free food.

Yeah, lots of the Whole Foods things are good. Ever eat some of the things from Wild Oats? Basically, very similar store to Whole Foods. Fortunatly for me, there are about 4 Wild Oats with in 10 minutes of driving and 2 Whole Foods. :> Gotta love Boulder, CO.

If you stop by a Wild Oats, try their own brand of mini chocolate chip cookies, gluten free of course. I think they are the tastiest cookie I have eaten before. That includes non wheat ones, I still remeber other fondly as I just got on gluten free about a month ago.

We went to check out the Bakehouse line today. There was not too much to choose from. Many of the items listed on the website were not available. I did not expect they all would be, but we had about 5 items to choose from.However, there were some brands I had not previously been able to obtain so all was not lost. I did want to say that many of the gluten-free Bakehouse foods are suited more to adults than children. My 11 year old was interested in the cookies but not much else. She did enjoy them though and that is what counts!

I brought the lemon poppyseed cake to a cookout and NO ONe even knew it was gluten-free. And the second best part (the first being the taste) is that it's a dedicated warehouse so you don't have to worry about cross-contagulation (my friend Scott has an album out and that is the name of it so now my husband and I refer to cross-contamination as that instead- more fun!).

I agree..there bakery is awsome!!! :D

We tried the apple pie, I couldn't taste any differencefrom regular, it was fantastic. We got the cornbread, yum. We also tried the banana bread, unbelievably good, but the best for me was the almond scones.

The only kind of cookie that I have really missed is my mother's almond thumbprints, my most favorite cookie in the world. I don't really like scones because they are usually too bland and dry. Whole foods scones tasted more like my mom's thumbprints. Moist fabulous and totally yummy.

My husband did not know the chocolate chip cookie was gluten-free until I told him. This was a first in our house, someone not recognizing food as gluten-free. The food is ridiculously expensive though, but I will spend the money for the taste my daughter loves. We cannot believe how happy she is with those cookies!

I agree, Whole Foods has delicious gluten-free stuff. Even Trader Joes does. These are the two stores I have within walking distance from my place, and I often go there. I prefer Whole Foods to Trader Joes, though. Whole Foods has a chocolate truffle (flourless) cake which is simply divine!

The Bakehouse stuff is fantastic! For New Yorkers-- the 23rd St location does not carry any gluten-free stuff, but 14th St has quite a bit. Not sure about 55th St yet. I have been thoroughly enjoying the peanut butter cookies and cornbread, although, like all gluten-free food, they are outrageously expensive.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
