I've only recently tried the WF breads, and so far the "sandwich" and the "sundried tomato" are pretty good, although I personally find the Enrgy whole grain to be the best once toasted.

The WF breads are softer and therefore more like gluten containing breads, but as I grew up without breads, other than homemade that always fell apart, I don't care for the sticky, chewy, type of bread.

I have yet to be able to find the pizza crust, the WF in Winter Park, FL always is "just out of it". That said, IMHO, there is NO crust better than the Kinnikinnick mix!

I have to say that I think Whole Foods is universally over-expensive no matter what you buy. We haven't nicknamed it "Whole Paycheck" for nothing!! ;) I also feel that a lot of gluten-free things are way overpriced. I love Namaste brownies, and yes it makes a big pan, but it $7.99 for the mix! I get Celiac Specialties at a grocery store here and the little pies are $7 - 8 too.

I think all the high pricing is ridicuous, no matter where you buy it. But now I'm hungry darn it!! :P

I agree here. We shop at Whole Foods about once a month to get my son the gluten free things we can't find at the 2 health food stores I shop at. My husband came with me once and decided to buy some fruit. He picked this little bag of cherries and when we got to the register the lady said, "do you want to know the price before I ring them up?". I asked her, "why, are they rediculously expensive?" She said they were $14.00! I was all ready to say never mind and my husband says we'll take them <_< . Guess who didn't even eat one of those $14.00 cherries that he insisted we buy?

Ok Ya'll

I don't think that My WHole Foods here in Texas has the Gluten free bakery yet but then again I have not ask either. Gee maybe I can get somthing free :lol::lol: if I ask how does it taste :lol: I love that they will let you try something on them, I always feel funny when they say sure here try it out. Albertsons sure won't do that. I have a Central Market But that is way too far for me to drive, hum I wonder if they do the same. Oh sorry didn't mean to get off subject.

I cant believe noone mentioned the PUMPKIN PIE!! :huh:

The pumpkin pie was awesome. Its really small (same as the other pies) and somewhere close to $10 but for someone who hasnt eaten pumpkin pie for a few years...it was worth it. :D

I cant really eat this stuff because my diet is really restricted....it was a nice treat during the holidays though. :)

I've liked everything I've tried...corn bread, prairie sandwich bread, cherry pie, etc. Nothing compared to the pumpkin pie though....now if only I coulda had some cool whip. B)

If you're in Texas, look in the freezer case. They had the baked goods sitting out at first but they kept spoiling too quickly. All of the Whole Foods I've been to (4 so far) have had a freezer section for their gluten-free Bakery goods.

I think that part of the added cost is the shipping....I think everything is baked in their No. Carolina facility and shipped to the stores. That's also what's pumping up the cost. the stuff isn't made on premises on each WF store.

deb: thanks for pointing that out. the 'shipping' part never occurred to me.

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By ellyelly · Posted

      Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom.  I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results (completed post-endoscopy to provide another piece of the puzzle, I think was just an accidental oversight not doing earlier).  The endoscopy results are as follows: Gastroscopy:  Stomach: Mild gastritis and one 4mm benign appearing inflammatory polyp in the body.  Duodenum: Largely normal but few shallow erosions seen in the duodenal bulb. Microscopy:  1. Sections show specialised and non-specialised gastric mucosa with increased numbers of chronic inflammatory cells within the lamina propria including occasional clusters of plasma cells amounting to mild chronic inflammation. No active inflammation, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or malignancy is seen. Immunostains for Helicobacter organisms are negative. 2. Sections show small bowel mucosa with normal villous architecture. A mild non-specific intra-epithelial lymphocytosis is noted at the villous tips of uncertain clinical significance. The lamina propria contains a normal population of chronic inflammatory cells. No granulomas or parasites are seen. There is no dysplasia or malignancy. Conclusion 1. Gastric: Mild chronic inflammation 2. Duodemum: Mild non-specific intraepithelial lymphocytosis with preserved villous architecture.  The GI specialist, assuming blood tests come back normal, feels it is unlikely that it is celiac given the normal villous architecture. Suggested continuing on as usual and monitoring for symptoms etc, screening with blood test if required in the future.  Worth a second opinion or does this seem accurate? Anything else I should be considering? I feel a little lost as to how to best proceed! Thanks again.

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12?  B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly.  Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing.   Are you on any medication for your Gerd?  Here is often caused by too little production of digestive juices.  Supplementing with a B Complex will help.

      OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

      I definitely try to get those in my diet.  There is most likely a genetic component to the issues.  Thank you so much for the advice!!

      Bless your heart!  That does make for a bumpy journey!  The Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus really works well for pain relief.  I was surprised at how well it works.  I can't recommend it enough.  I can't tolerate aspirin nor nsaids.   Are you getting enough Omega Threes in your diet?  Healthy fats like olive oil help keep our discs and joints healthy and fluid.

      Thank you!  I will have to look into that.  I have Anklosing Spondylitis, bulging and dehydrated discs so pain is a big part of my life.
