Udi's Hamburger Buns

I haven't purchased Udi's Hamburger buns for the past year because I found them unpalatable and not like what they used to be when they first started selling them. I also noticed they were not being sold in the stores where I used to buy them, and when I inquired I found myself being steered to other brands, which were't up to par either. I have been staying in Tucson, AZ for the past 3 weeks, and thought I'd give them another try...I was yearning for burgers and fries. Found some Udi's frozen whole grain buns at Sunflower Market, and they were so soft and delicious when thawed out, I went back and purchased 3 more packages to take home. Has anyone noticed a change for the better in this product?

I've not purchased Udi's buns in a while, but will do so again based on your observations, just to see.

I picked up some Schar rolls (which can be sliced and used for hamburger buns), and they have improved some. Still not quite there yet.

I'm new to the gluten-free diet so I don't have previous experience with Udi's hamburger buns, but I will say that they are rather good. The texture and the taste seem good enough for me, and before my diagnosis I was a bread maniac! Makes giving up "real" bread not so bad.

I have only purchased the buns once and that was in about July so cannot compare.

However, I have purchased Udi's bread and have found the slice to be even smaller than they were. They look like they would perhaps feed a gnat. And the holes! My loaf had huge holes all the way through the bread like a tunnel. All that for $7.49. I still do have a loaf of Genius bread which I must say I prefer to Udi's and only $4.99. I like to make my own bread - there is something about taking a fresh loaf out of the oven and smearing it with butter or preserves.

Funny you posted this.

I am in Tucson, but I didn't buy my last bag at Sunflower.

Anyway, I noticed IN THE SAME BAG one bun had a different texture than the other two I thawed.

What's up with that???

Tried them over the past month, LOVE them. They taste good and hold together better than others. I find if I lightly toast them, it helps.

That's quite interesting....maybe some were from a different batch? Maybe some whole grain ones got mixed up with non-whole grain?

I had stopped purchasing Udi's because of the tunnels, some of which were large enough for a mouse...and the price and small size of the package. I have switched to Rudi's 18 ounce loaf at a more reasonable price. I will try Genius if I ever come across it....I saw it advertised in Living Without magazine. Some Safeway stores now carry Rudi's, along with Kroger and Basha's Supermarkets. Of course, you can always order, but there are times when I get so hungry I have to have some no matter how far I have to drive.I have many food allergies, and the older I get, the less I want to spend my whole day cooking everything from scratch. As soon as I use up all my bread mixes, I will no longer attempt to bake that perfect loaf of bread.

Maybe a different batch, but doubtful. They were both the same grain. One was just harder than the others. It was weird.

Lucky me, I've never had the major holes in their bread that others have mentioned.

I've only bought a few loaves (several months ago - still have two in the freezer) and the last loaf had to be used for filler for meatloaf and so on because there was no way I was going to toast air! Wouldn't have worked so well for spreading on some jam. Where would it go? <_<

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      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.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
