I have just discovered Against the Grain baguettes! omg!! B) I almost cried. lol. It even has that chewy crust! I ate it with some brie cheese and it felt like the "old days" (i.e., back before I was diagnosed). So move over Udi's! (although, Udi's is the one to go to for a sandwich).

Where did you find the Against the Grain baguettes? I tried to google the company but only found a website that you have to fill out a form to get there catologe sent to you. I will eventually start to bake my own stuff. Just not right now.

I'm a huge Pamela's bread mix fan. I make it in a loaf or in free form rolls... I've even done the bagel variation w/ success. I have a KA mixer, which is awesome. I buy it in bulk bags.

How did you make free form rolls? If the bread mixes are like a thick batter dosen't it just run on the pan it you pour it to make rolls?

Like many of the above posts, I started out loving Udi's but it has been super inconsistent lately and for the price I just can't do it. I have switched to Rudi's which is actually a little cheaper in my area and in my opinion tastes much better.

I also love the Against the Grain baguettes. I make subs on them or eat them dipped in olive oil and spices. So yummy .

I've also started making my own. I have both the bread maker and stand mixer. I've been trying the mixes. So far just the Bob's Red Mill mix that came with the bread machine. It was okay but not the greatest. Any suggestions on mixes to use? I don't really have time to do anything from scratch right now.

Here's the Website for Against the Grain and their store locator:

Unfortunately, it appears that they don't yet distribute their products to California--I'm so bummed!

I found the Against the Grain baguettes in a huge Whole Foods in Pittburgh. My Whole Foods (Arlington, VA) does NOT have them. :( However, it's a smaller store, and I know there's a bigger one out a ways from Arlington which I plan to call. I'm also going to talk to the manager of my store and see if he can order them.

Ha! I just clicked on the Against the Grain link above and discovered that my Whole Foods does carry Against the Grain. Supposedly. They lie. :lol: I'll be speaking to that manager! :P

It's like REALLY thick batter. I scoop out a blob and plop it onto a silpat (or parchment paper would work) and "form" it w/ my spatula. I get 9-10 rolls (maybe a teeny big bigger than a hamburger roll) from a loaf's worth of dough/batter.

My husband bought Rudi's at Costco! Can not believe the price as you get 2 loaves for just a bit more than the price of one at my local natural store! Very happy with it, unbelievable =) hope they continue to carry! Now I want to try Udis too and compare. Now if my local store carried French gluten-free my life would be complete =)

I get the AGAINST the Grain at Wegman's in Dale City in Virginia. We live in Old Town Alexandria, but my bf works in Quantico, so I make him take a detour on a regular basis.

Didn't read all the posts in this thread, but I have to say without a doubt, that for me the best bread would be Udi's. Why? Because it tasts super great, even when not toasted. :lol:

I was a Udi's guy for a while, but I personally found the bread to be too "airy", and it's often oddly misshapen.

However, I just tried Katz's Gluten Free white bread, and it's amazing.

A quick pop in the toaster, and I was unlike any gluten-free bread I've ever tried. Soft, chewy, and the crust didn't get super-hard like Udi's. Katz's was the most like real bread I've ever had. I'm excited to try out their other products.

They're so confident you'll like their stuff, they offer a FREE, that's right, FREE sample pack if you just pay the shipping.

Good luck, and enjoy.

NOTE: Katz's is an family company run by Orthodox Jews. I only mention this because even their website keeps holy the Jewish sabbath (Friday night to Saturday evening), and you cannot submit orders at that time.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
