Schar Ciabatta Rolls

I wondered if anyone has seen Schar ciabatta rolls in Safeways or other stores? I am from the UK where they are widely available (marketed as DS rolls). They are par-baked and are superb for sandwiches. Just need reheating for a few minutes.

I have been informed by Schar that they are now available in the USA, but have yet to find them in the Bay Area (Safeway does carry their crackers).

Apparently Genius bread from the UK is also being imported soon.

I wonder--do celiacs here have sandwiches? The only bread I can find is terrible, so I never make sandwiches in the USA. I long for ciabattas . . . please let me know if you see any.

I get the pizza crusts at one Albertsons. Have seen rolls there too but don't remember what kind they were.

I get them at Jewel in the Midwest which I believe is the same as Albertsons and Super Valu. They are always available at my store as are many Schar products. I do not care for most bread, but I know many people do eat it and enjoy it. I ate gluten fro 25 years of my life and was very much in love with bread and pasta so for me eating gluten-free bread just isn't worth it for me. Maybe I shall have to go over seas to taste some good bread again!

I get them at Roche Bros and at Shaw's market once in a great while in MA. They are relatively good for gluten-free bread, but don't go in remembering classic chewy ciabatta!

Thanks very much for the help--I will certainly check Albertsons here in SF.

That is exactly what I was wondering. If they are anything like their regular bread, no thank you, as I find their bread to be lamentable at best. Ciabatta bread is supposed to be chewy so I am afraid my disappointment would outweigh any excitement. I will just continue on my quest in making chewy gluten-free ciabatta (which so far evades me).

Haven't found them in SF :( And their website is horrible . . . so give up on this one. Waiting now for Genius bread to be imported.

We've been getting the Schar Bagettes and the Sub Sandwhich rolls. I've never had any other's. These are, by far, the best gluten-free (and vegan) rolls I've ever had. I had given up hope after trying the Ener-g breads, which are the worst bread products I've ever tasted.

Sorry - this has nothing to do with the topic, but I was just reading this thread and saw your name for the first time on these boards..'Graindamage' - brilliant! Thanks for the giggle. (And sorry to all other posters here for going off topic!)

I have bought them in Safeways in San Francisco, and I am really disappointed.  I lived off of these in the UK (marketed under the DS Brand) but these just don't taste the same--too powdery, funny tang.  Perhaps it's just me--but I have a feeling that they haven't got the recipe right.

check (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned), they have them..

 

Hon, not sure what company name you tried to write there, but if they have spammed the forum in the past (which is not allowed), their name will

not appear when you type it out exactly as it is.

My Shoprite in NJ has them, and I also love the Schar deli-style bread.  It's fairly close to rye bread.

I bought them in my local Stop & Shop (I'm on the east coast) and I do like them. So far so good. MUCH better than their white bread. When I want white bread I but the Udi's (not the frozen one.)

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
