I miss Wonder Bread. That is why I am so happy to have found Udi's gluten-free white sandwich bread. It's just like the stuff I used to eat in t'he old days. It's soft and delicious! I had Whole Footds order it for me, but some stores carry it all the time. And you can order online!

I just had a peanut butter sandwich and I am in heaven!

You can't order this on-line, though?

I guess not :o A friend told me some Safeways and King Scooper stores carry it. I would call your local grocer and ask them to order it. That's what my Whole Foods did, but I think some Whole Foods carry it :o .

I just read on a bmog that they will send online orders. Email them at info@udisfood.com

Just have to chime in - I buy the Udi's gluten free whole grain bread.

It is the closest thing to "real" bread that I've found thus far. It's light, airy, good texture (not heavy and gummy like many gluten-free breads can be). I am a big Udi's fan.

I get it in the gluten-free Frozen section at my King Soopers, but nearby Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers also carries it (in freezer as well).

I talked to the ordering person at Whole Foods Market this am, and they will be carrying Udi's products nationwide soon- she said it could be a few weeks or a few months, but they are working on it!

I called Udi's in Denver, they're not in the Southeast yet. I called my local Whole Foods and they don't carry it yet. Udi's said they are working on a site as we speak so we can order online, but right now their gluten-free line is not set up for online ordering. You can order over the phone by calling 303-657-6366. They do have a very hefty shipping fee because it's frozen and has to go out Fed-Ex. I was told we can order the bread by the case to make one order count.

I sure hope they come to the Southeast soon. The shipping fee is an owie!! :o

If you live in the Bay Area, CA.....

Draeger's carries Udi's. I just brought home the lemon streusel muffins yesterday. YUMMY! SUPER DUPER YUMMY! My daughter and & ate all 4 already. Darn.

One interesting thing I noted is that they contain sunflower lecithin. That's the first time I've seen that. Seems it's always soy lecithin. I'm thrilled since I can't tolerate the soy lecithin. Yeah! :P

I really love the Udi's white bread as well. The best part about it....it does not have to be kept frozen. I keep mine in my pantry and don't have to toast it before eating. Love it!!! B)

I almost ordered Udi's a few weeks ago because someone mentioned in another thread how soft and great it was. I was really excited to try it. So, I called their place in Denver and asked a few questions........I think I may have gotten an inexperienced employee, but she couldn't tell me whether or not the bread was dairy free. Also, when they answered the phone it was something like "Udi's granola and bakery". When I said I wanted to inquire about some ingredients in their products she asked "regular or gluten free". This lead me to "oh, so you are NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility?" I was informed that the granola facility, which produces a gluten product, is in a separate location from the bakery, BUT the bakery is also NOT completely gluten free. This just made me nervous and I never called back to ask about the dairy or order from the "person who handled the gluten free". Also, don't expect to get any in a hurry; on a Tuesday I found out that they ONLY ship orders out on Mondays and even if you place your order on a Monday it won't ship until the following Monday.

I was just wondering if any really sensitive to gluten-types have tried these products, and if so did you react? I would really like to try it but am just nervous. And if I can ask, how much was the shipping fee? This almost seems like a ploy to me to have you order a whole case. I'm probably just dwelling on my bad impression though.

I really love the Udi's bread, we get from our local gluten-free store! Yum! It's worth trying to get, and my "glutenoid" wife and kids think it's just like real gluten bread, so I have to lock it up. The price tag is a dead giveaway though... It's never given me symptoms, just the wallet hurts, when everybody eats MY bread! :)

I'm pretty sensitive. Half the time I eat at our favorite places with "gluten free" menu, I have symptoms which include bloating, belching, & vomitting, so I don't order very often when I do go out with my family. Symptoms occur within 10-15 min after ingestion, and lasts up to 2 days (just for minor CC--it's much worse when I actually mess up). I have to make my 3 yr old wash her hands after eating (even just a cookie), as she sometimes sticks her finger into my mouth when I'm not looking--that get's me sick like clockwork. :angry: I also have to use a paper towel to touch the fridge door when grabbing ice for my soda.

You know, I think it's time for a grilled cheese sandwich! It's nice to have the option. :D

They only ship by Fed-Ex because they said it needs to be frozen. The shipping fee is $25.00 for a case about $30.00.

I get sick from Udi's gluten free bread every time. Unfortunately I have eaten dozens of loaves because it is so good. I had to go cold turkey about a month ago as I was getting a low grade glutening every day. Since I went cold turkey only once or twice a reaction. One associated with a box of Van's waffles. The other I think was cc in my kitchen.

Udi's does produce "regular" baked goods, however, they have a completely separate gluten free facility for the gluten free items.

Here's a clip from a write up on them, and a link to their website w/gluten-free info:

"They recently started to produce gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free products in a dedicated gluten free bakery. I sampled the Whole Grain Bread which was amazing! In addition to the Whole Grain Bread they also make:

*Lemon Streusel Muffins

*Blueberry Muffins

*White Sandwich Bread

*Pizza Crusts

Udi's Gluten Free Foods are currently available in Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, Utah, Kansas, and New Mexico at grocery chains such as Whole Foods, King Soopers, Vitamin Cottage, Kowalski's Markets, Lund's & Byerly's, United Supermarkets, and Central Market. "

This thread is one of the reasons I love this site! I would not try this bread if it was not for your posting. I'm going hunting for it this week.

I called back today and spoke to someone who seemed more knowledgable and she told me that indeed it IS a dedicated gluten-free bakery where the bread is made. It also is dairy free, so I ordered some; excited to try it!

      Muscle Twitching

      Hello, I'd have been here sooner, but I got tangled up in yarn... Restless leg syndrome (RLS) I've had. It's often associated with iron deficiency and B12 deficiency, but can also show up with any deficiencies in Vitamin C, copper, Vitamin D, and Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and magnesium.  B12, Thiamine, and Pyridoxine will also help with peripheral neuropathy, that burning sensation.   (See... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9804944/ ) Long Covid can be the result of nutritional deficiencies, as well.  Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin D, B12, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine, Niacin, and Choline.  (See... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10015545/  and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36587225/ ) I agree with @Wheatwacked to get Vitamin D level higher, 80 ng/ml.  Taking high doses of Vitamin D to correct a deficiency has been found to be beneficial.  I took Vitamin D3 supplements throughout the day when I had a severe deficiency.  It got my level up quickly and I started feeling much better.   (See... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28167237/ , https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4824637/) Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin.  Fats can be difficult to digest and absorb, so most of the newly diagnosed can be low in the four fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K).  A deficiency in Vitamin A can cause dry eyes.  Omega Threes and Evening Primrose Oil help with dry eyes, too.  (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10363387/) Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels.  Blood tests will reflect any supplements being taken.  Blood tests do not measure how much of a vitamin is stored inside cells.  Supplementing with all eight essential B vitamins for several months will boost your ability to absorb the needed nutrients. A deficiency in Cobalamine, B12, can be aggravated by anesthesia.  Cobalt in Cobalamine binds irrevocably, irreversibly with the Nitrogen in anesthesia, rendering B12 useless.  Supplementing with B12 after exposure to anesthesia is beneficial.  (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/) Pyridoxine B6 and Riboflavin B2 as well as B12 are needed to lower histamine levels (produced during the inflammation process that occurs in Celiac Disease). This can help relieve the sinus pressure.  Riboflavin B2 and Thiamine B1 are helpful with headaches.   We need more Thiamine when we are emotionally stressed, physically ill, and physically active.  Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine, has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine is helpful in relieving anxiety.   (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/  , https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ ) Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  It is rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  Malabsorption in celiac disease affects all the nutrients we need.  Some vitamins just run out sooner than others because they can't be stored or we have a metabolic need for more.  (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10106602/ ) Hope this helps!

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.
