I've had their chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, carrot cake, blondies, and poundcake. Everything is good, but I will warn you that it is quite expensive--I only stock up every few months, and then I only buy a few things (for example, the carrot cake is $7, and it's only a small loaf size). I've found that I can cook on my own more cheaply by buying the mixes and such from Gluten Free Pantry and Pamela's, but the occasional treat or two is nice to have. I freeze whatever I buy so it lasts longer, too.

I LOVE the sandwich bread, the blueberry muffins, the carrot cake, and the corn bread... I stock up about once a month, it is pricey, but I freeze it and it lasts longer.

I had the tomato-basil bread. It was expensive and it completely fell apart after only 1 day in the fridge. HOWEVER, the taste is very good and if you put butter on it and then toast (to keep it moist) it stays together.

I have gone to my Sacramento WF three times now in the past 3 months (a 3 hour round trip) and have not found *any* of the bakehouse items. I was just there this past weekend. They have very few gluten-free items - no more, for example, than my local health food store. I keep hearing all these great things about them and they do have awesome food (love the cheese, for example) but no particular concentration of gluten-free food. Totally disappointed and jealous of y'all who have better stocked WFs! :(

you should talk to whoever does the ordering there and let them know there is a major need for gluten free items, most times they should be happy to try to bring in more gluten-free products. That is if enough people speak up and say, "Um, could you please carry more gluten free food? and when are you going to get the Gluten free Bakehouse line?"

I agree. We were frazzled when we got there the other day but it was the first time I remembered to look for all the things I read about here. Next time I'll try to talk with someone - we always go at such a busy time. It's not the reason we go to Sacramento but it is a major inducement.

Whole Foods products are fabulous, I have had the regular sandwich bread, I love it, I use it for toast, burger rolls, peanut butter sandwiches, it's all good. I have also tried the sour cream coffee cake, their morning blend muffins, they to have been good. It is pricey, but it's nice to have something every once in a while that you don't have to make yourself. I have to travel 1 hour one way to get there but it is worth it.

PS-ask your store for the gluten free brochure, it list the items that are gluten free and it does make them easier to find.

Enjoy ;)

Thanks for the info. I actually got the gluten free product list off the web site and was happy for it but really wanted to try some good gluten free baked goods. Would also like to find some pizza crusts - would like to have the Amy's Rice Pizza but I can't eat tomatoes. On the whole I didn't find anything more gluten free at the Sacramento Whole Foods than I do at my regular grocery store. Of course I am always happy to go somewhere with awesome cheese.

The only gluten-free breads at this WF are the EnerG ones and the Food for Life ones.

Oh - I did get some of the Ian's chicken nuggets and fish sticks. I had been looking for those. Still haven't found the Food for Life rice tortillas anywhere yet...

skbird- the bakehouse goods aren't coming to California until late November I think. So in the winter keep a look out for them.

Yes. Many don't like Ians, but I do, too :)

Thanks, Molly. That will keep me from looking for a while... I always feel like I'm shopping in one of those contests - "You have 10 mins to fill your cart" sort of thing when I'm there because we will have already gone to Trader Joes and likely someplace else and have frozen stuff in the ice chest in the car (for the 90 min drive home) so I always rush through the baked goods a few times looking in every direction possible.

As for the Ians - I had the chicken nuggets the other day and thought they were a little bland but had a great crisp to them. Also made a killer dip of mayo, garlic and fresh chopped basil leaf. Very tasty.

I met Lee Tobin at a conference recently and he gave me samples of some of their products from the gluten-free Bakehouse. The blondies and ginger cookies are very good. I didn't think much of the bread, although my daughter liked it. We tried the pizza crusts later on. They do not have a long shelf life - I kept them in the fridge but they were moldy within a few days. I would freeze them immediately if you aren't going to use them right away.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      Vaccines

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Pasballard, Keep in mind those gluten free processed snacks are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing products.   We need the eight essential B vitamins to turn those carbs into energy to fuel our bodies and make enzymes that sustain life.  Sudden weight gain (or weight loss) can be symptomatic of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Thiamine is the B vitamin with the shortest storage time, and so  thiamine deficiency shows up first with vague symptoms like weight gain or loss, fatigue, not sleeping well, achy or cramping muscles, digestive issues and headaches.   Taking vitamin and mineral supplements helps boost your body's ability to absorb these nutrients which keeps our bodies healthy.  B Complex vitamins and Vitamin D (which regulates inflammation) are usually low in people with Celiac disease.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1, Here's an article that explains about the updated gluten challenge guidelines.  Be sure to read the comments below the article. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Low iron can affect antibody production, causing false negatives on antibody testing.  Do you currently struggle with low iron?   Low Vitamin D can cause amenorrhea, cessation of menstrual periods.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is a big part of Celiac disease.  We don't absorb well the eight essential B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals like calcium, resulting in osteopenia, hair loss, infertility, and neurological symptoms.  Unfortunately, doctors are not given much training in nutritional deficiencies and don't recognize the connection with the malabsorption of Celiac disease. We get very frustrated here with doctors ordering us to put a harmful substance in our bodies in order for them to say "that makes you sick".   Duh, we know that already. Do try to increase your consumption of gluten for at least two weeks before retesting.  Eat the chewy kinds of breads.  Cookies and cakes don't have as much gluten in them as those chewy artisan breads and thick pizza crusts. I admire your tenacity at continuing the gluten challenge.  Do keep us posted on your progress.  We'll continue to support you on your journey to diagnosis and recovery.
