Udi's Bread

I don't understand all this talk about enzymes, etc., but i've been eating Udi's bread for about a year and have developed severe malabsorption problems (40 lb. weight loss and sudden onset of severe osteoporosis). Just had an endoscope in December and after 14 years of 'clean/no problem' scopes, my villi is once again blunted and flattened. Now I notice that when I eat this bread, I feel queazy. (I didn't pay attention to this beforehand.....how could I be sick, I'm my doc's most 'compliant celiac' - couldn't be an adverse effect of gluten). Now I'm wondering.....anybody else have problems w/this bread? I've heard from a few of you, any others? Udi's bread is GREAT....but it appears that I'm one of the few who cannot tolerate it. Super-sensitive I guess.....alas.

Hi. I have not been able to eat Udi's bread either. I am more sensitive. They test at 10ppm gluten contamination, where 20ppm is allowed in gluten free foods. 10ppm is also the level to be "certified gluten free". I react to that level. I cannot eat most labeled gluten free foods. I seem to be okay with companies that test 5ppm, or undectable at 5ppm. That is the lowest that they can test. My go to company for bread is Kinnikinnick. They are "undetectable at 5ppm". They also test each ingredient as it comes in to ensure that it's not contaminated. Enjoy Life and Gluten Free 123 also test the same. I'm sure that there are others, but you'd have to call each company. Shars has not responded to 2 emails questioning there testing, so I don't trust them. Food for Life was awful for me...they process with barley...hindsight. It sounds like you are going to have to start watching for lower levels of contamination now. You should start checking out the "super sensitive" section of this forum. I know it sucks:(

      Symptoms…looking for solidarity

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Nogluten4thisgirl! Those symptoms are related to nutritional deficiencies.  Because the intestines get damaged in Celiac Disease, they cannot absorb sufficient vitamins and minerals.   NCGS doesn't damage the intestines, but it may be a precursor to celiac disease and damage hasn't started yet.     There's eight essential B vitamins, Vitamin C, and four fat soluble vitamins, including Vitamin D.  There's a dozen minerals.  celiac disease affects the absorption of all of them, not just one or two.  They all work together, so supplementing just one or two may not improve the malnutrition.   Have you been tested for deficiencies beyond Vitamin D and B12?  Have you discussed supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing with your doctor and nutritionist? Chronic constipation....magnesium and Thiamine brain fog, memory issues, brain feels like it’s on fire sometimes, adhd, depression, anxiety....Thiamine Vitamin B 1and the B vitamins mouth sores, graphical tongue....B12 and the other B s skin lesions/sores that went away with gluten-free diet, acne...Niacin dry eyes, joint pain and cracking...Vitamin A and omega three fats chronic fatigue...Thiamine and the B s leg and ankle feel like they are heavy or retaining water/painful... Thiamine, magnesium, potassium and the Bs night sweats....Vitamin D deficiency horrible heart palpitations....Thiamine gas that would clear a room....possibly Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth SIBO I was in very poor health due to nutritional deficiencies while on my journey to diagnosis.  I've experienced all of these myself.  More details in my blog.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in microbiology at university.  I'm concerned about your numerous symptoms pointing to Thiamine insufficiency.  The brain/mental health symptoms get serious rapidly.  Please talk to your doctor soon about "Wet Beriberi".  Your doctor should be able to give an IV of high dose Thiamine.  Over the counter Thiamine in the form called Benfotiamine will help as well.

      Welcome to the tribe, @Aussie Celiac!  How are you progressing?  Are your iron levels getting better?

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Impressive!  I wish I had a green thumb!   I followed a Paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  It cuts out all grains and processed foods made with grains for a few weeks.  I felt great improvement during that time.  I didn't eat grains again for a few months because I kept feeling better.    Gluten is a lectin, a carbohydrate storage molecule that is hard to digest.  Other plants like rice and quinoa have their own lectins that are hard to digest.  Lectins can keep the intestines irritated, and histamine levels high. Consider cutting these out and see if you feel better.  Feed your tummy like you would a small child or kitten.  Small, easily to digest meals close together.   Try it over the weekend and let us know the results!

      Chicken, fish, beef, venison fruit and veges. Rice, gluten-free pastas, quinoa, gluten-free toast, crackers and chips. All my herbs are home grown and dried myself unless I've bought certified gluten free and I make all my sauces and stuff from scratch.

      Would you tell us what you do eat?   I had a problem with high histamine foods when I first started eating gluten free.  Perhaps we can help point out problematic foods.  Do you keep a food journal?
