Have You Tried The New Genius Glutino Bread?

This morning I saw an advertisement for this new bread. It is currently on sale for $3.99 which is unheard of (for me, at least, as Udi's gluten-free bread here is $7.99).

I'm interested in seeing how it compares to Udi's bread.

The company which makes this bread is from the UK and I had the dark bread version last October when I was in London. It's awesome! My non-Celiac husband thought it was delicious also. You can actually eat this bread untoasted! :o

However, the version sold in UK stores is not frozen but fresh. I e-mailed the company after I returned home and asked if it could be shipped to the States but they said no, it was only available in the UK and Ireland right now. I told them that was no excuse and they needed to offer this bread in the States and Canada. Apparently, they listened to me! Actually, they were awfully nice people to correspond with. So they must have licensed out the recipe for production overseas, which is great.

As for the comparison to Udi's...I am not a big fan of Udi's bread. It's not bad but I was never a fan of fluffy type bread.

The Genius bread is a bit more dense but still fluffy enough for those who like Udi's. I did not try the white bread but the dark bread is great.

It's been reviewed by celiac-disease.com Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link (marketed here by Glutino). When I run across it, I'll try a loaf to see if I like it.

Please do! I know that you and I are both on the same quest - to find that elusive awesome gluten-free bread! Man, if only I could make a great chewy ciabatta that is like the real thing.

And it is elusive! Since I live in a small town, I have no idea when it might be available around here. I'll have to ask my local health food store as last summer they started carrying Udi's and then later Rudi's. No Whole Foods or Wegman's around here...

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
