Had a cookout tonight with friends and I took my own burger and a Udi's bun. This was my first time trying them and they were awesome! It was the best burger I've eaten since going gluten free. I was full after just one burger but it was so good I'm considering eating one for a midnight snack....or I'll probably wait until breakfast. :lol:

Just had to share. They were expensive at $8.xx for a bag of 4 buns but well worth the price.

I tried one for the first time last night. They are the best I've tried, that is for sure. At $2 per bun they are pricey but they will be a treat. I do not think I will even bother making buns any longer! I am impressed.

That says a lot coming from YOU! I had low expectations to be honest, because while Udi's bread is edible to me and makes a decent toasted sandwhich I think it's over-rated by fans on this board. I really prefer Rudi's for pre-made bread. I have made homemade that tasted better right from the oven, but I don't like to go to the trouble of making bread often. I had been using Schar's buns as they were only ones I could get in my area. Schar's are like cardboard compared to Udi's and they are about the same price. My normal supplier of Schar buns was out so I made a longer trip to the gluten-free store and was excited to see they now have the new Udi's buns (hamburger AND hotdog). Yay! They will be a treat for me for sure but it was so good and no symptoms so far. They are also dairy free and soy free for anyone wondering. :D

I found the Udi's hamburger buns on sale at our local Byerly's. Just thought people in the Twin Cities would like to know!

I haven't tried the hamburger buns yet because they are so expensive (I can get them for $7/4) but I've bought the hot dog buns several times now ($6/6) and I love them.

My youngest son likes them. First time I tried them I wasn't all that impressed, but tonight I toasted one and liked it a whole lot more. It still is nice to "seem" normal. :P

I found them a little dry, maybe toasting them would help. Or maybe I just got a stale package. I actually like the Canyon Bakehouse ones better, but both are quite good.

I heated them in the microwave for 30 seconds prior to use and they became as soft and moist as I remmember plain white buns to be. Without any heat right out of the package they do feel like a stale dry bun. I would not eat them without heating first.

I had a hotdog for July 4th as a special treat, haven't had one in over a year. I wrapped the Udi hotdog bun frozen in foil sprinkled a little water on it to warm. I kept an eye on it and it turned out soft. It was wonderful with a Nathans hotdog.

On a recent trip through barbeque heaven (North Carolina) I took my own Udi's buns and asked at several places to have my barbeque on my bun. Each place, after I explained how important it is to not touch real bread, was very careful and I had wonderful barbeque for a week.

By the way, I find that humor helps get cooperation. I often laugh and say "I'm the customer from Hell" This will usually get attention. A little lightness works better for me than making demands.

Thanks! Next time I will microwave them.

Our local Ruby's restaurant now carries Udi's gluten-free burger buns. I had one and it was pretty good!

      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.

      @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?
