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.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.
