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:(

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Just an update on my daughter. She is still in hospital and getting quite depressed about everything. She had a CT scan of head and chest to rule out stroke in view of her symptoms. Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to ...

      celiac disease and braces

      Your concerns are reasonable about the celiac risk aspect, and getting additional medical input is a good idea. Obviously I don't know the extent of your child's misalignment, but please don't think of it as just a cosmetic issue. Braces improve bite alignment and typically provide long term health benefits.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I watched my spouse go through shingles before the vaccine was available for "younger" people, so I got the vaccine as soon as I could. It really knocked me down too, especially the second dose. Even with that, if necessary I would take that vaccine every year to avoid getting shingles. Luckily it's a lifetime benefit though.

Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to do further blood tests to check vitamin levels. My husband and I are trying to reassure her the best we can that hopefully it’s just her body’s reaction to having the Vitamin B medication and it’s affecting her nervous system etc. Think the tingling has subsided but still having some lower back and pelvic pain and some leg pain. Thanks for reading and my apologies if I sound paranoid.
