Would You Eat Rudi's Bread If Not Celiac?

I actually prefer Rudi's bread over regular breads. Am I crazy? I did a gluten free challenge and still am not sure if I have a gluten problem but when I have whole grain bread now, it tastes so dry that I go back to Rudi's because I prefer the taste. I am surprised at myself and am wondering if it is not that healthy for me and that is why I like it. Is it so processed with tons of additives and sugar that that is the reason I prefer its taste? Is it unhealthy to eat? It has less protein and fiber and obviously no whole grains that are supposed to be good for you.

So I wonder how many of you would still eat Rudi's bread regularly if you weren't sensitive or intolerant to gluten? Should I go back to whole grain wheat bread for the health benefits if I am not gluten intolerant?

No. But I was a French bread girl.

I am unimpressed with gluten-free bread.

No you are not crazy. There's just something about regular bread that can get nauseating after a while. My favorite is actually Udi's bread (confusing right?, there's one called Rudi's and one called Udi's lol) But Yeah, Udi's is my favorite so far and it doesn't require refrigeration.

NO!!! Good old soft nutrient free white bread or a really good Croissant (like from Croissant d'Or in New Orleans) are about the only things I still miss. I've been Gluten free for 5 years, so my mind may be exaggerating how good those things are.

There is no reason to believe that a gluten-free diet is less healthy than a "normal" one that includes wheat.

I have not tried the Rudi's gluten-free bread because it has egg in it. But gluten is not an issue for me. I have tried the Rudi's white bread. It is nasty! It is not soft like white bread should be. It is dry and crumbly and it actually reminds me in texture of Ener-G bread that has not been put in the microwave to soften it. So even if I could eat egg, I doubt I would try the gluten-free Rudi's. If they can't to regular bread right I sure wouldn't trust them to do gluten-free right.

There's no way I would eat any gluten-free bread if I didn't have to. Not sure if I can remember what "real" bread tastes like.

hmmm. I never ate a lot of bread previously, and gluten-free stuff is so pricey that I only get it for a treat, and since it's a treat I always buy the cinnamon raisin, which I never bought as regular bread, so.....As far as I know, Rudi's is cinnamon toast bread, so yes, I would. :D

We don't get Rudi's here in Canada, but we do get Udi's. It must be good because everytime I buy a loaf my non-Celiac husband eats at least half of it! Granted we have no regular bread in the house, but he's not much of a bread-eater so if he didn't like it, he wouldn't eat it!

Up until I found out I can't eat corn, I LOVED Udi's. To me it tastes like french bread. And I LOVED Canyon Bakehouse seven grain bread. It was almost like having dessert. Now I can't have any bread at all, and although I wouldn't eat Ener-G bread if you paid me, I definitely miss the other two.

This is where I am having all my problems, even when I was little ( the adult would say people in jail only ge bread and water) I would say I could live in jail lol as I am a bread addict. For real my fav snack was toast, didnt make a meal with out some sort of bread. Now I am trying to find a good bread recipie here so I can make my own as 5.00 for not even seems to be a quarter of a loaf is a bit much for me.

Ohhhhhh bread ; / I can live with out all the rest cakes pies cookies ect

I would go back to baking my own wheat bread in a heartbeat. Rudi's is good for gluten-free but it doesn't have the taste or texture of fresh, homemade whole wheat bread.

Like Bartfull, I'm not eating any bread right now so it's sort of a non-issue.

Is this question a joke???

I'm unamused as gluten-free bread is garbage.

To each his own, I guess. Some folks like liver and onions. Some folks hate it. Some of us love Udi's and Rudi's. I guess you don't.

Now, if all you had ever tried was Ener-G tapioca or rice breads, then I'd have to agree with you! :blink:

After almost one year of being a Celiac, I've found absolutely nothing even remotely close to bread as I knew it. Almost resorting to learning how to bake my own and FORGET that Bob's Red Mill stuff.

Nope, I'd have to go for some sourdough or french bread.

Gluten free bread is horrible.I will eat rudi's toasted in a pinch.Being Italian and growing up all that great bread.Nothing gluten free even comes close.

No offence, but the loaf of Rudy's I bought was terrible. Took forever to toast, just your typical sucky gluten-free bread IMO. Udi's is the only bread I've found that's palatable (just barely).

I would never touch any gluten-free product again if I wasn't Celiac.

Heck no! I'd eat every sandwich on crusty, squashy baguettes, and opt for croissants instead of toast for breakfast. The very idea makes me want to start baking. Yum.

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped. It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition. Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here. Malnutrition...

      My only proof

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well. I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals. Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D. By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease. You got it from your mom or dad. Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped.  It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition.  Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here.  Malnutrition can cause SIBO, and SIBO can worsen malnutrition. Another possibility is side effects from any medication that are taking.  I was on Metformin 3 months before it turned me into a zombi.  I had crippling side effects from most of the BP meds tried on me, and Losartan has many of the side effects on me from my pre gluten free days. Because you have been gluten free, you can test and talk until you are blue in the face but all of your tests will be negative.  Without gluten, you will not create the antigen against gluten, no antigens to gluten, so no small intestine damage from the antigens.  You will need to do a gluten challange to test positive if you need an official diagnosis, and even then, no guaranty: 10 g of gluten per day for 6 weeks! Then a full panel of Celiac tests and biopsy. At a minimum consider vitamin D, Liquid Iodine (unless you have dermatitis herpetiformis and iodine exasperates the rash), and Liquid Geritol. Push for vitamin D testing and a consult with a nutritionist experienced with Celiack Disease.  Most blood tests don't indicate nutritional deficiencies.  Your thyroid tests can be perfect, yet not indicate iodine deficiency for example.  Thiamine   test fine, but not pick up on beriberi.  Vegans are often B12 deficient because meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy are the primary souces of B12. Here is what I take daily.  10,000 IU vitamin D3 750 mg g a b a [   ] 200 mg CoQ10 [   ] 100 mg DHEA [   ] 250 mg thiamine B1 [   ] 100 mg of B2 [   ] 500 mg B5 pantothenic acid [   ] 100 mg B6 [   ] 1000 micrograms B12 n [   ] 500 mg vitamin c [   ] 500 mg taurine [   ] 200 mg selenium

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.
