Went to my local walmart today and saw that they had rudi's bread. All is well and good and i checked the back out of habit and saw "organic wheat gluten". :blink:

I take it they have two lines or something?

Yes. They make an organic bread and a gluten free bread. If I remember correctly, I read that it is made in separate facilities (could be remembering wrong though). Anyway my daughters and I did not have a problem with the gluten free one, the store just stopped carrying it though:(

I have also tried Rudi's. Seems to upset me also. I tried a regular loaf of Rudi's Gluten Free bread and also the cinnamon raisin. Neither seems to agree with me. Could it be shared lines? I really wanted it to work for me, because it was such a great bread. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work in my diet.

This was Rudi's rsponse to this topic a few months ago:

Maggie here from Rudi's Gluten-Fre Bakery. To answer ButterfI8's question -

We do not have a dedicated gluten-free facility, we do have a segregated, separate manufacturing approach. We bake our gluten free breads on separate, dedicated equipment and on separate production days. You can feel assured our gluten free products never come into contact with something used to make a product containing gluten. As part of our manufacturing process, we also do the following:

We just tried Rudi's for the first time. My girls were so excited and loved it but...major gluten reactions for both of them :(

eatmeat4good Enthusiast

Oops! That is terrible. Sorry for them both.

I thought they were a dedicated facility.

Just finished two loaves of the stuff myself.

First time I've eaten it. I have not been feeling great at all.

Thanks for your post.

I didn't suspect the Rudi's.

Great. Glad to hear there's fabulous gluten-free bread that apparently glutens people.

Sigh.

I bought some Gluten Free Pantry French bread mix today and 4 tiny loaf pans. Hope to make some mini loaves to freeze and then re-crisp in the oven.

I can't say for sure I was glutened by the bread.

But I'm suspicious.

I guess I'm just bummed that now I'm leery of trying it. Have seen it around and figured I'd get around to it one day. I hate trying foods I see negative reports about, especially breads...because usually people can narrow down WHAT the problem ingredient is prior to eating it - soy, corn, xanthan gum, etc. And most reputable gluten-free breads disclose , which makes it harder. Sounds like Rudi's discloses and takes very thorough measures but something isn't sitting well. I'm sure with digging it will show itself but until then I'm leery.

I'm very sensitive to cc but I have not had any trouble with Rudi's gluten-free bread. We have had a similar discussion on this board before on Udi's. Some people get a reaction to Udi's but don't react to other things made with the same ingredients. It's a bit of a mystery but I suspect it's actually the amount and combination of the ingredients that gets some people. Too much Xanthan gum or yeast or that mysterious "dough enhancher" (used in Udi's, not sure about Rudi's). Anyway...you won't know until you try it to see if you are one of the few that reacts.

Ironically, I was more willing to experiment before the DH calmed down. I know I can't live in a food bubble, but wow I'm enjoying not being miserable.

I understand! I eat very few of these processed gluten-free products. I only have a sandwich or a piece of toast probably once a month but it takes a long time for me to get up the courage to try new products. I don't really understand when people say "I ate the whole package and now I'm sick". The first time I try a new product I eat one piece and then don't eat it again for a week. That way I know for sure if it is going to make me sick. If I eat a lot of gluten-free subs in genreal I'm sick and it's hard to pin down what. Maybe it's a build up of small amounts of cc or maybe it's just that I ate a bunch of junk food. gluten-free bread is mostly high in carbs and low in fiber--it's not good for anyone in large amounts (IMO). So moderation and eating only one new thing at a time is the key for me. BTW, I think most of the people talking about reactions to Rudi's are not talking about DH reactions so that's something you may want to weigh as well if that is your main symptom.

I eat Rudi's gluten free bread all the time with no issues - it's my favorite. Even though they do not have dedicated facilities, their manufacturing and testing processes are very strict, and I trust them a lot more than some other companies. You just have to be careful that you grab the right package.

Skylark Collaborator

I absolutely love Rudi's whole grain gluten-free bread. It's my favorite too.

Independently certified to <10 ppm is very strict, as good as Udi's and Glutino and better than Bob's Red Mill. If you're reacting to Rudi's consider other ingredients like xanthan gum as well as considering gluten.

Yes they make a wheat bread. I have bought it for myself. It is nasty so I find it hard to believe that the gluten-free one is any good. The wheat one is very dry and crumbly and goes moldy quickly.

I've never tried their wheat bread (for obvious reasons), but their gluten free bread really is good. It stays soft after you toast it, too...great for grilled cheese :P

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
