Udi's gluten-free Buns

Had a cookout tonight with friends and I took my own burger and a Udi's bun. This was my first time trying them and they were awesome! It was the best burger I've eaten since going gluten free. I was full after just one burger but it was so good I'm considering eating one for a midnight snack....or I'll probably wait until breakfast. :lol:

Just had to share. They were expensive at $8.xx for a bag of 4 buns but well worth the price.

I tried one for the first time last night. They are the best I've tried, that is for sure. At $2 per bun they are pricey but they will be a treat. I do not think I will even bother making buns any longer! I am impressed.

That says a lot coming from YOU! I had low expectations to be honest, because while Udi's bread is edible to me and makes a decent toasted sandwhich I think it's over-rated by fans on this board. I really prefer Rudi's for pre-made bread. I have made homemade that tasted better right from the oven, but I don't like to go to the trouble of making bread often. I had been using Schar's buns as they were only ones I could get in my area. Schar's are like cardboard compared to Udi's and they are about the same price. My normal supplier of Schar buns was out so I made a longer trip to the gluten-free store and was excited to see they now have the new Udi's buns (hamburger AND hotdog). Yay! They will be a treat for me for sure but it was so good and no symptoms so far. They are also dairy free and soy free for anyone wondering. :D

I found the Udi's hamburger buns on sale at our local Byerly's. Just thought people in the Twin Cities would like to know!

I haven't tried the hamburger buns yet because they are so expensive (I can get them for $7/4) but I've bought the hot dog buns several times now ($6/6) and I love them.

My youngest son likes them. First time I tried them I wasn't all that impressed, but tonight I toasted one and liked it a whole lot more. It still is nice to "seem" normal. :P

I found them a little dry, maybe toasting them would help. Or maybe I just got a stale package. I actually like the Canyon Bakehouse ones better, but both are quite good.

I heated them in the microwave for 30 seconds prior to use and they became as soft and moist as I remmember plain white buns to be. Without any heat right out of the package they do feel like a stale dry bun. I would not eat them without heating first.

I had a hotdog for July 4th as a special treat, haven't had one in over a year. I wrapped the Udi hotdog bun frozen in foil sprinkled a little water on it to warm. I kept an eye on it and it turned out soft. It was wonderful with a Nathans hotdog.

On a recent trip through barbeque heaven (North Carolina) I took my own Udi's buns and asked at several places to have my barbeque on my bun. Each place, after I explained how important it is to not touch real bread, was very careful and I had wonderful barbeque for a week.

By the way, I find that humor helps get cooperation. I often laugh and say "I'm the customer from Hell" This will usually get attention. A little lightness works better for me than making demands.

Thanks! Next time I will microwave them.

Our local Ruby's restaurant now carries Udi's gluten-free burger buns. I had one and it was pretty good!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!
