Today while browsing at Costco in Colorado Springs, CO I came across Rudi's Gluten Free Multigrain bread, 2- 18 oz. loaves for $6.99. You have to buy a package of two. I have found this bread a much better buy over another popular brand, and now have made this my bread of choice for store purchased gluten free bread. I do not know if it is carried at other Costco stores in other states, but I was estatic to find this product at this price.At last, a bread I can afford.

Thanks for the reminder! I believe someone else here reported finding it in a Northern Virginia Costco. I need to check my store. I don't currently have a Costco membership but if they carry Rudi's I will get one just for that! Rudi's is my favorite over that other one with the simialar sounding name too. ;)

Ha ha! Yes, I also switched from the "U" to the "R" bread!

I only tried U once. Never again. Thanks for the Costco heads up. Yes, that would definitely save me $ to join just for R bread. LOVE their cinnamon raisin.

I would love to know the comparison between R and U. Would someone enlighten me on the texture, visual appeal, flavour? I have not ever seen R here (unsure if it is available in Canada) and am wondering what I am missing? I only eat bread about once a week (or less) because the real glutenous version is forever implanted in my brain so nothing compares. Sure, some homemade gluten-free is ok, but will never be the same. Sigh...

I would to love sink my teeth into a thick chewy crusty bread perfect for making bruschetta or crostini. Anything like it on the market?

Did find some Lara bars and was quite underwhelmed. They were alright but I would happily live without! :P

I recently took out the Costco membership only because one opened up near where I live in Arizona....I also belong to Sam's, and the membership cost is split between my sister and I. I also love Rudi's Cinnamon bread, and Costco only sells the multigrain, which I also prefer. I found the Rudi's bread near the bread/cakes/pastry area in an open freezer case on an end aisle....I never venture into that area because of my many food allergies, but hubby was looking for a loaf of gluten bread so I tagged along and am glad I did.I also am able to eat a Costco rotisserie chicken...no wheat,dairy or soy in it. I had to stop eating Sam's rotisserie chicken years ago because of the ingredients. Will have to check the ingredients again next time I shop. Really hate to have membership in both stores, but for me it is necessary. Have purchased a freezer that is kept well stocked with safe food.

Love2travel,

We in California FINALLY have Against the Grain baguettes available to us through Whole Foods. I also longed to eat a gluten-free version of sourdough bread--and now I have it! The two varieties that I've found are the Original and Rosemary baguettes. Here's Against the Grain's website:

If I were using store bought bread to make bruschetta or crostini, I would choose R. I have tried both, and like both. My favorite is R as I think it has a little bit more depth of flavor than U. That said, R does not hold up as well when making a sandwich on non-toasted bread. My son can make a sandwich in the morning before school, and still eat it in one piece at lunch. I have always preferred my sandwiches on toasted bread, but on the occasion that I am in a rush and don't have time to toast, U definitely works better. I think U bread holds up better in general, as compared to R.

I found a wonderful recipe for french bread on the Fire and Salt website. It is my family's favorite. We are 4 out of 5 of us gluten free. I have to say, it took each of us, on average, 2 to 3 years of being away from bread before we were able to find some gluten free breads that we liked. I think we had to be away from the flavor of wheat long enough to be able to appreciate other flavors that were not the same as wheat...but still good.

Isn't it funny how different people can expereince completey different things? My expereience has been the opposite! Udi's untoasted falls apart for me at the slightest bit of moisture in a sandwich and texture-wise it is NOT good untoasted--it's sort of rough, dry and scratchy feeling in my mouth. I need lots of water to choke down a PB and J on untoasted Udi's. Rudi's, on the other hand holds together better (although it will still break apart with lots of moisture or if dipped in a sauce) and if lightly warmed or toasted it gets a little soft in the middle like wonder bread. It's completely eddible to me untoasted however too. Rudi's does break too easy when it's still frozen, however. Sometimes I have to take severel pieces out that are stuck together and wait for them to defrost enough before attempting to pull them apart. I currently have a bag of broken slices waiting to be made into croutons or bread crumbs because I broke them in half while trying to get two frozen pieces apart. If I used the brea dmore often I would proabbly store it in my fridge and not have that problem. I wonder if the way you store the bread impacts the texture and hardiness? I know some stores keep Udi's in the freezer and some keep it on the shelf. Perhaps that is why there are so many differing experiences with these gluten-free breads?

I tried a sample of Against the Grain's pizza at Whole Foods several months ago and have never been able to find one in their freezer pizza section since. So good! By far the best gluten-free frozen pizza I have ever eaten.

I just checked out the website - those baguettes look like they should! Too bad we have nothing of the sort in Canada. Seems like we are almost always far behind the U.S. with gluten-free products... :( Hopefully we will see it here soon!

The only one I like is Rudi's cinnamon raisin toasted. Absolutely can barely even eat Betty Crocker's yellow gluten-free cake mix because it tastes so bad. The brownies are great! But, that's not bread. Am looking forward to trying Rudi's multigrain bread very much.

I've never seen the cinnamon raisin bread but that okay because I never really ate cinnamon raisin bread when I could eat gluten. The multi-grain bread is pretty good. BC yellow cake mix is very, very dry. It's only tolerable to me if I add some pumpkin puree and make cucakes with lot so of icing, NOT cake. Pamela's white cake mix is the best I've tried but I don't think I can have that anymore since most of her products have milk in them.

I never ate cinnamon raisin bread pre-gluten-free either :)

I have tried both and prefer Udi's. There is no sugary sweet taste at all unlike Rudi's. Rudi's is excellent for french toast though. It is more of a dessert tasting bread.

Yes, Rudi's here in Northern Virginia. At the Pentagon City Costco, specifically. Frozen. :) I like it a bit better than Udi's because it seems more substantial. However, I only toast it to have with my coffee in the morning. I've never tried it on sandwiches. I've given up on sandwiches and just eat corn tortillas as roll-ups.

And, Against the Grain baguettes are THE BEST! omg... I try not to buy them often because I can eat an entire one at one sitting, with real butter. {drool}

Where do you buy the baguettes? I've never seen them in Indy.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,
