Just got back from a trip to So. Wisconsin and went to the Whole Foods in Madison, the only one in Wisconsin. They now have baked goods baked in their own bakery and shipped in. My guess is that they go through a LOT of it as what I got from the shelf was partly frozen and they probably can't even keep it out there long enough for it to thaw. I passed up the cookies, pies etc. but bought the cinnamon raison bread and it is soooooooooo good, I just can't even tell you how much. It is as good as the best cinnamon raison bread that I have ever had. These people are going be rich just off their gluten-free baked goods alone if the rest is as good as the product that I bought. What a treat to buy something that is of this quality. I also bought Energy pretzles with sesame seeds that are excellent....had never seen them before and I think I will try to see if my health food store will get them in for me. They are dark brown, light and buttery and the sesame seeds add a nice touch. REALLY good pretzles. Just wanted to share these two great products with you.

My dad lives about 4 blocks from there! Awesome, now I can check it out when I visit. I was wondering if they had a bake shop at that store.

Not all Whole Foods stores carry the items from the gluten-free Bakehouse. I checked out the website and was glad I did because the store I was planning to go to does not carry the line. So I am bringing my daughter to a different location tomorrow to stock up. She is really excited! Anyway, just thought I'd let you know it is a good idea to check the website first since some of you have to travel long distances to get to a Whole Foods. Also, someone on Delphi suggested bringing a cooler to those of you who do travel far for your gluten-free food.

Yeah, lots of the Whole Foods things are good. Ever eat some of the things from Wild Oats? Basically, very similar store to Whole Foods. Fortunatly for me, there are about 4 Wild Oats with in 10 minutes of driving and 2 Whole Foods. :> Gotta love Boulder, CO.

If you stop by a Wild Oats, try their own brand of mini chocolate chip cookies, gluten free of course. I think they are the tastiest cookie I have eaten before. That includes non wheat ones, I still remeber other fondly as I just got on gluten free about a month ago.

We went to check out the Bakehouse line today. There was not too much to choose from. Many of the items listed on the website were not available. I did not expect they all would be, but we had about 5 items to choose from.However, there were some brands I had not previously been able to obtain so all was not lost. I did want to say that many of the gluten-free Bakehouse foods are suited more to adults than children. My 11 year old was interested in the cookies but not much else. She did enjoy them though and that is what counts!

I brought the lemon poppyseed cake to a cookout and NO ONe even knew it was gluten-free. And the second best part (the first being the taste) is that it's a dedicated warehouse so you don't have to worry about cross-contagulation (my friend Scott has an album out and that is the name of it so now my husband and I refer to cross-contamination as that instead- more fun!).

I agree..there bakery is awsome!!! :D

We tried the apple pie, I couldn't taste any differencefrom regular, it was fantastic. We got the cornbread, yum. We also tried the banana bread, unbelievably good, but the best for me was the almond scones.

The only kind of cookie that I have really missed is my mother's almond thumbprints, my most favorite cookie in the world. I don't really like scones because they are usually too bland and dry. Whole foods scones tasted more like my mom's thumbprints. Moist fabulous and totally yummy.

My husband did not know the chocolate chip cookie was gluten-free until I told him. This was a first in our house, someone not recognizing food as gluten-free. The food is ridiculously expensive though, but I will spend the money for the taste my daughter loves. We cannot believe how happy she is with those cookies!

I agree, Whole Foods has delicious gluten-free stuff. Even Trader Joes does. These are the two stores I have within walking distance from my place, and I often go there. I prefer Whole Foods to Trader Joes, though. Whole Foods has a chocolate truffle (flourless) cake which is simply divine!

The Bakehouse stuff is fantastic! For New Yorkers-- the 23rd St location does not carry any gluten-free stuff, but 14th St has quite a bit. Not sure about 55th St yet. I have been thoroughly enjoying the peanut butter cookies and cornbread, although, like all gluten-free food, they are outrageously expensive.

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess...

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated. The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned. I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including...

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would...

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy. With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back...

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is...

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.

      By Heather Hill · Posted

      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned.  I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including tTg IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG and EMA IgA are all negative, then the positive result for the immune response to gliadin, on it's own, is more likely to suggest some other problem in the gut rather than Coeliac disease? Until I have a view from the medics (NHS UK) then I think I will concentrate on trying to lower chronic inflammation and mend leaky gut, using L glutamine and maybe collagen powder. Thank you for your help so far.  I will get back in touch once I have a response, which sadly can take quite a long time.   Kindest Heather Hill

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:
