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.

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.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
