Genius Multi Seeded Bread

Hi, has anybody else noticed that the Genius company have recently rebranded their range of bread.  I love their Multi Seeded Loaf but has anybody noticed that as part of their rebranding, they have reduced the size of it from 535g to 430g, more than 20% smaller!  I complained to Genius and somebody called Linda Hindle said it is because of the ‘cost of living crisis.’  Bit sneaky if you ask me, and I for one will be switching to another brand.

Joe, I suspect you will find that other gluten-free bread making companies are doing this as well. I use Franz loaf bread products and I was noticing the other day that the slices seem smaller than usual.

Hi Tents, I know but it just annoys me that they try and sneak the reduction it ‘under the radar’.  I bet if they were increasing the size, they would put a big banner across the packaging “NEW BIGGER SIZE”

Hi Joe,

How funny you should post this.  I bought a loaf of that very bread from Waitrose a couple of hours ago and I thought I was seeing things.  

I noticed this phenomenon first a while back when Tropicana seemed to shrink.   I think it used to come in 1 litres and 2 litres, I could be wrong??  But now it's 900 ml and 1.7L.   I think it's called, "shrinkflation". 

Now everytime I go to the supermarket I challenge it to a duel, and try to find the cheapest produce I can, special offers, about to go out of date offers.  It's a wonderful feeling when you can save a bob or two, but it seems to be getting more difficult!

I do wish my waistline was affected by this shrinkflation but so far, it hasn't been!

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
