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.

      @yellowstone, You poor thing! I'm not a medical doctor, but it sounds like "Refeeding Syndrome". I suggest you seek medical attention. Refeeding Syndrome occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the necessary vitamins, especially Thiamine, to turn sugars (from the fruit, juice, and honey) to turn provide energy. This can occur...

      Due to malabsorption, I have hypoglycemia and I excrete ketones in my urine. I am losing a lot of weight. I don’t know what to do — I drink juice, eat fruit, take honey, but I don’t notice much improvement. Any advice?

      Your post doesn't mention if you are seeing Doctors about this and what they had to say, or if you are just trying to manage it by yourself. If you aren't getting medical support, that is the first place to go. On the other hand, if you've been on a diagnostic odyssey with Dr after Dr being perplexed, consider getting your genome sequenced (search for "whole genome sequencing"). It's not guaranteed to get you an answer, but if your symptoms are caused by a genetic condition you might get the answer that is stumping standard differential diagnosis. These days there are quite a few companies offering this service. I wish I could tell you which one was best but I've been out of that field for a decade. Talk to your Dr about this and see what they think. Price is probably ~$500-$1,500 including the sequencing and detailed reports. Sounds like a lot, I know, but consider that 25 years ago just the sequencing (no reports) cost $2.7 B and took 3 years to complete.

      @yellowstone, You poor thing!  I'm not a medical doctor, but it sounds like "Refeeding Syndrome".   I suggest you seek medical attention.   Refeeding Syndrome occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the necessary vitamins, especially Thiamine, to turn sugars (from the fruit, juice, and honey) to turn provide energy.   This can occur in Malabsorption due to Celiac Disease.  Malabsorption prevents the absorption of B vitamins, especially Thiamine. The B vitamins and Thiamine cannot be stored long in the body.  When you run out of Thiamine, your body burns fat for energy which produces the Ketones, hence your weight loss. With medical attention, Thiamine and other B vitamins need to be replaced before giving any more sugars.  Doctors can give you an IV containing B vitamins including Thiamine, called a "banana bag".  Riboflavin  Vitamin B2 causes the yellow color.   Doctors can also monitor your electrolytes which can become unbalanced and cause further serious health issues. I've experienced Refeeding Syndrome.  It's very scary.  Health can deteriorate quickly in Refeeding Syndrome.  It's correctable, but complicated.   I strongly urge you to get professional medical attention as soon as possible.   Our prayers are with you! https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23228-refeeding-syndrome Thiamine Deficiency in Self-Induced Refeeding Syndrome, an Undetected and Potentially Lethal Condition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4295429/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      I ate sprouted buckwheat and hard boiled egg last night instead of cereal and got extra 1/2 hour sleep but more importantly feel better this morning. I do sleep in cycles that seems to rotate btwn 3 and 6 hrs but I will monitor next time I make a pot. Bwheat is a complete protein with good amounts of thiamin, magnesium, fiber and iron. High carb but much lower glycemic and much healthier than refined flour cereal.
