I went to Whole Foods to buy some GFB reg. bread but found there are two versions and I don't know what the difference is. I love their sun dried tomato and cin. raisin breads but I'm looking for the plainest flavor bread so I can make sandwiches or toast and such. The two breads in question are the Prairie Bread and the Sandwich bread. Does anyone know what the difference in the two is tastewise?

Tiffany,

The plainer of the two breads would be the Sandwich Bread. I used to eat that, and it's very good.

The Prairie Bread, as I remember, has seeds and possibly other things mixed in. :)

Thanks Patti! I thought it was you that posted about this bread but then I went to look it up and didn't find it.

Our Whole Foods is moving next month. I'm happy that the store is going to be fabulous BUT it's going to be over five miles futher from me now. In any case, the current store is closing mid Sept. and will not open back for two weeks so in case there are others out there who shop at WF/Harry's in Duluth, keep in mind to stock up as you won't be able to shop at that local for about two weeks.

My new fave store is Return 2 Eden and you live in the Metro Atlanta area, do yourself a favor and check it out. So far they have the most gluten-free items of any place I've found around town. Lucky for me it's right off 85 which I have to travel to see clients so I just take a small cooler and shop on the way home from meetings.

Most prices are either lower than WF of the same. The owner decided to try and build their gluten free offerings in hopes to increase business. All the gluten free items are marked with purple tags - it's simply wonderful!

Ooh--we used to love Harry's! (No Whole Foods back then!) We'd go most Sundays, after church :)

We have found that late Sunday afternoon is THE time to visit Harry's/WF. We did to go on Saturday but it's a zoo then and you know with all the label reading it's kind of hard not to be in the way of others. If I must have something for Sat. night then I run over during lunch on Friday and pick up a few things. I'm pretty excited about the new store. I guess it's something similar to one I think nini went to in Orlando but I could be mixing that up. Anyway it will be nice and I guess I'll just have to make new longer trek and be thankful that I have such a store when I know others who drive here from AL to stock up every few months or so.

I didn't go to one in Orlando, it was Sarasota, and it was phenomenal!

I am supposed to be doing something with Dr. Joe Esposito at Return to Eden next month... (a gluten free food demo!)

We are also going to be doing the same food demo at Life Grocery and at Harry's/Whole Foods in Marietta...

I've also been asked to start doing gluten-free tours at Life Grocery

i too have tried them both and they're both excellent. The prairie bread, as mentioned, has sunflower seeds and a bunch of other earthy things, so it has a nuttier taste and a nice crunch. The most simple flavor though is the sandwhich bread.

Oh, and fyi, I'd consider freezing a portion. I find mine usually spoils (even in the fridge) before I get to the end of the loaf...

Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to getting some GFB sandwich bread soon but I still have Bry's in the freezer so hubby said no more bread until you eat what you have - lol! We have a reg. side-by-side fridge so my gluten-free stuff is taking over the small freezer. Plus I got some awesome Breads from Anna bread yesterday and I'm itching to make that too. Without question that is my FAVE gluten-free bread of all time. But you have to make it and it costs an arm and a leg. So I'll stick with GFB stuff except for special occasions (like when I want to serve others bread without them knowing it's gluten free). Bry's bread is the best bread to travel with since it's vaccuum packed you don't have to freeze it until after you open it. It's not good unless toasted but then, I have a hard time believing it's gluten free.

Whole Foods gluten free bakehouse sandwich bread is the ONLY type of gluten-free bread I like. I usually refrigerate one half and freeze the other. It is very tasty!

The banana bread is also amazing, along with the muffins (although sometimes they can be a bit dry in the middle) and the walnut brownies! :)

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
