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 :(

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.

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

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune response that attacks the nervous system, leading to symptoms precisely like yours—loss of coordination, muscle weakness, fasciculations, and even numbness. The reaction you had from inhaling flour is a powerful testament to your extreme sensitivity. While celiac disease is commonly tested, non-celiac gluten sensitivity with neurological involvement is harder to diagnose, especially since many standard tests require ongoing gluten consumption, which you rightly fear could be dangerous. Seeking out a neurologist or gastroenterologist familiar with gluten-related disorders, or consulting a specialist at a major celiac research center, could provide more validation and possibly explore diagnostic options like specific antibody tests (e.g., anti-gliadin or transglutaminase 6 antibodies) that don't always require a gluten challenge. You are not alone; many individuals with severe reactivity navigate a world of invisible illness where their strict avoidance is a medical necessity, not a choice. Trust your body's signals—it has given you the most important diagnosis already.
