I Have Just Discovered Udi's Cinnamon Raisin Bread

My Target has started carrying Udi's cinnamon raisin bread, the first store I've found it in. And there is a big problem with this bread!

The BIG PROBLEM is that it is SO good and I'm eating it too much! I just ate practically half a loaf, with cream cheese. :ph34r: First of all, I am supposed to be on Weight Watchers. I don't even want to know how many points that is. And second, what kind of a dinner is that? :lol:

My new love, Udi's Cinnamon Raisin bread. :wub:

:D

I have heard its great so I haven't tried it. I have too many things I shouldn't be eating already (calorie-wise). I have also heard it freezes well and makes great toast - 1 piece at a time. :o

This is what my daughter does . . . then she butters it and puts MORE cinnamon and sugar on it . . . because when you're 10, there is no such thing as too much cinnamon and sugar . . . also, no such thing as too much cinnamon and sugar when you're in your 40's either :P

Sounds great, waiting till they get it here. Then after I eat 1/2 a loaf I will feel guilty with a big smile on my face and my hand on my ever expanding tummy.

This bread is most definitely a treat for me - I love it when I'm craving something sweet and don't want to give in to the calories for a full on dessert. ;)

I love Udi's millet-chia bread. Unfortunately so does my non-Celiac husband - he ate half the loaf last time! (though in his defense, we have no regular bread in the house)

Lol... so, if two slices of regular bread is 4 points then how many points is half a loaf, with each piece slathered in cream cheese?? :o:ph34r::blink:

oy. :P

This thread has cracked me up! It's good to see people enjoy their food! :lol:

I feel the same way about Canyon cinnamon raisin bread. I stopped buying it for awhile because I made a piggy of myself. Thank God we have people who make the effort to develop good gluten-free bread!

Well....It does have raisins for much needed fiber. And Calcium from the cream cheese. Cinnamon is very good for you.....

So I think we can rationalize that there was some real health benefits.

This is what we have the 49 bonus points for. I know this is not WW either but try it with Nutella.

I like the way you think! I always try to think up some random healthy reason to be eating the sweets I love. I've been eying that bread every time I stop in the store and now I think I'm going to have to buy it.

      Prana Organics no longer GFCO-certified

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified.

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
