I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads.

Hi Scott, I found the Franz gluten-free bread less than ideal flavor wise and a very short shelf-life. Since then, my (WinCo) store has offered Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free bread in Honey White and& Grain. Also gluten-free 100% whole grain Everything and Plain Bagels in the freezer case near the birthday cakes. Better flavor and seem to last very well in the freezer. Still nothing I'm going to look forward to for a sandwich, but at least I have something to pick up my egg yolk with.

This same store recently discontinued Aqua Star Frozen breaded cod filets, the only gluten-free prepared fish in the store. I emailed them and got a polite and heart felt "Kick rocks" reply.

Since the Franz Gluten Free is vacuum sealed I haven't had any issues with shelf life. Very few GF breads are sealed in vacuum packaging. I also like Canyon Bakehouse, but it is much more expensive than Franz, which I get for about $5 a loaf (a price that is comparable to some of Costco's high end wheat breads).

I really like Canyon Bakehouse for the brioche rolls and burger buns. 
BFree has great baguettes and the sliced bread is great too. My favorite is the oat loaf. 
Both brands are available at Walmart.

My grocer (WinCo) doesn't stock those CB items. I work hard to avoid Walmart.

Shar has good breads.  I like the darker grain bread and it costs just a bit less than CB bread that is also good. Shar has bagels that, when toasted, are quite good with cream cheese.   I will have to look for Franz at Costco and try it.  Both the Shar and CB breads toast well.  Trader Joes has gluten-free bread and bagels.  Whole Foods has gluten-free multigrain bread but I get that less often because there is not a WF less than 40 miles from the city in which I live. And, here's a suggestion that's not bread but good tasting and gluten-free - Energy Bars at Costco, a good supplement to your diet.  And, finally, for treats, Kind bars are gluten free!!

Unless you live in the western US, you likely will not find Franz products in your stores.

Has anyone tried BFree Bread? It doesn't have a great shelf life unless it is refrigerated. Publix used to sell it. You can buy it online but I haven't done that yet. No sliced bread but rolls and PITA bread.

I think Bfree does now offer a sour dough gluten free loaf bread. I believe I bought some at Costco back this spring.

 For gluten-free bread and bagels, try Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, or Sprouts. Popular brands include Udi's, Glutino, and Rudi's. For lunch meat, check out Boar's Head, Applegate, or Wellshire Farms. Don't worry about making your own - it can be tough!

Boar's Head is good when I occasionally buy it. But right now - Sept 2024 - I would be extra careful since they found listeria in their meat plants. Check to see if the packages in your area are affected.

I get the Canyon Heritage Style Wholegrain sometimes the Honeywhite. Their heritage style is about the size and texture of rye bread.  Keep it in the freezer and nuke two slices for a minute then cool on a wood cutting board.  Good for roast beef, ham and swiss and hamburgers.

I love BFree. I can find it at my Walmart stores. I’m in Texas and here I can also find it at HEB. The oat loaf is so good. Sourdough is good too. I’m finding they have a longer shelf life, months. I typically buy several and freeze into portions so I can take out what I need. If you can order online I would definitely try that.

I forgot - the baguettes are fantastic! They are skinny but I use them as a baguette but I also slice and bake them as a crostini. Friends have no idea it’s gluten free.

Are you aware of the big flap created recently by the testing Mom's of America had done on Trader Joe's bagels that showed they were way out of tolerance with regard to the 20ppm FDA standard for using "Gluten Free" claims? There was a big story that surface on this forum recently if you care to search for it. I would not recommend Trader Joe's as a safe place to buy gluten-free products at the current time.

I need to correct something I wrote earlier this thread.  The energy bars from Costco no longer have the Gluten Free certification on their labels.  It disappeared sometime this year.  The ingredients do not contain wheat, rye or barley but this product is processed in a facility where they also process items with wheat.  I assume this is the problem.  I have called them (CA) but they have not returned my call.  Lesson: read the label on the product every time you purchase it; it can change!

I was in love with BFree Baguettes but recently I found Against the Grain Rosemary Baguettes at my local Natural Grocers. I was not sure at first. At this store, it was in the frozen section. Once I got it home and opened, the bread texture looked a little weird. Then I tasted it...Unbelievable! I used to love real sourdough in the old wheat days, and I have to say this is the first gluten-free bread I have had that feels similar to a sourdough. Lightly crunchy outside, soft and chewy inside. This size of this baguette is equivalent to a regular wheat flour baguette. FIVE STARS!!!

      This sounds like a GP who is ignorant regarding coeliac disease. The risk with consuming gluten for several days is that it triggers the coeliac immune response, leading to raised auto-antibodies and active disease for several months.

      The Dark Side of Gluten-Free: Counterfeit Labels and Global Food Safety Failures

      Exactly. What about King Arthur gluten free flour selling a gluten free bread flour containing “gluten free wheat starch” and says in allergens “contains wheat.” I don’t care if it contains a trace amount of wheat ok’ed by the food industry. For a celiac…100% gluten free and that’s all is acceptable. Hard alcohols and ciders and hard seltzers say gluten free...

People may not even be aware of symptoms during this process, but it is causing damage to the body. As trents has said, the gut lining normally recovers on a strict gluten-free diet, and this happens much faster in children than in adults.

      Thats the thing, diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated celiac by biopsy colonoscopy at Kaiser in Santa Clara  now condo's but it has to be somewhere in medical land.1999 got married, moved, changed doctor's was with former for 25 years told him I waz celiac and that.Fast forward to last year.i googled celiac specialist and what popped up was a former well known heard of hospital. I thought I would get answers to be put through unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree and she wasn't listening to me for help rather than screening me for celiac! Im already diagnosed seeking medical help.I did all the appointments ask from her and when I wanted my records se t to my pcp, thats when the with holding my records when I repeatedly messaged, it was down played the seriousness and I was labeled unruly when I asked why am I going through all this when its the celiac name that IS what my issue and All my ailments surrounding it related. I am dea6eoth the autoimmune part though my blood work is supposedly fabulous. Im sibo positive,HLA-DQ2 positive, dealing with skin, eye and now ms.I was employed as a bus driver making good money, I loved it for the few years my body let me do until I was yet again fired.i went to seek medical help because my body isn't well just to be made a disability chaser. Im exhausted,glutenfree, no lawyer will help and disability is in limbo thanks to the lax on my health from the fabulous none celiac Google bay area dr snd team. Its not right.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @EssexMum! First, let me correct some misinformation you have been given. Except in the case of what is known as "refractory" celiac disease, which is very rare, it is not true that the "fingers" will not grow back once a consistently gluten free diet is adopted. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition whereby the ingestion of gluten triggers an inflammatory process that damages the millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the lining of the small bowel. We call this the "villous lining". Over time, continued ingestion of gluten on a regular basis results in the wearing down of these fingers which greatly reduces the surface area of this very important membrane. It is where essentially all the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed. So, losing this surface area results in inefficiency in nutrient absorption and often to medical problems related to nutrient deficiencies. Again, if a gluten-free diet is consistently observed, the villous lining of the small bowel should rebound. "We was informed that her body absorbs the gluten rather then rejecting it and that is why she doesn't react to the gluten straight away, it will be a build up and then the pains start. " That sounds like unscientific BS to me. But it does sound like your stepdaughter may have a type of celiac disease we know as "silent" celiac disease, meaning, she is asymptomatic or at least the symptoms are not intense enough to usually notice. She is not completely asymptomatic, however, because you stated was experiencing tummy aches off and on. Cristiana gives some good suggestions about ordering "safe" food for your stepdaughter from restaurant menus in Europe. You must realize that as the step parent who only has her part of the time you have no real control over how cooperative her other set of parents are with regard to your stepdaughter's needs to eat gluten free. It sounds like they don't really understand the seriousness of the matter. This is very common in family settings where other members are ignorant about celiac disease and the damage it can do to body systems. So, they don't take it seriously. The best you can do is make suggestions. Perhaps print out some info about celiac disease from the Internet to send them. Being inconsistent with the gluten free diet keeps the inflammation smoldering and delays or inhibits healing of the villous lining.
