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!!!

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Even though my brother almost died in his 40s because of coeliac disease, no one ever told family members that we should be tested. As a result, I was almost 70 years old when an orthopaedic doctor suggested that I be tested for coeliac disease. My count was greater than 250.

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
