My Wholefoods just got in their bakery products today!!!! I toasted the heel of the bread to try it out before serving my kids and it was so good. I can't believe it's taken four years to get this bread. It's so good. I also got blueberry muffins, chocolate chip cookies and cherry almond streusel. I can only hope they're as good as the bread! :P

Whoohoo! :-)

Now how many of those are free of dairy as well? I heard many of them had milk...

skbird Contributor

Or potato-free? Oh well, I guess I need to find out if the Sacramento store is getting this in, now, too. I'd heard it would be around October for California stores... worth checking out!

I got the prairie bread ( oh the joy of crunchy grainy bread) and a mini pecan pie. The bread was 8 bucks and the pie twelve. I really really hope that pie is good. It was so exciting to see the new labels!

The bread has dairy, I didn't check the pie and its hidden in the back of my fridge with a big shiny shark sticker on it.

Yay for whole foods!

are all whole foods doing this? or is it just certain ones? I am on the East Coast and the ones that you are all saying look like they are on the west coast....(a little far to drive to get bread)

I know that Whole Foods in Atlanta does carry these gluten-free items. However, in respone to an earlier question, they do not appear to be dairy or egg free. Not sure about potatoes. I wrote to the cooperation about this, telling them I appreciated what they were doing, but hoping they may consider other allergies as well....... We'll see.

The cherry almond muffins are great and the blueberry are equally as great. The white bread was better than Kinnikinnick in some ways (not big enough, and cut too thick for kid's sandwiches - made excellent french toast) But...Price sucks. The bread was $7.00 I just won't pay that much for bread. The muffins were $7.19 and I'll do that for weekend breakfast treat, but not for average, everyday type of breakfast meals. I feel like Wholefoods is very comfortable doing what the gas companies do...gouging needy customers. Since a gluten free diet is essential to a celiac's health, WholeFoods and others like them are simply being opportunistic in a crisis with a huge financial gain for themselves.

Great! It started in the SE...then got to the NE (ME!) and worked its way west. The pies are great, but try the sandwich bread and you will never be able to look at another Kinnikinick, Ener-G, or any-other-brand-besides-Whole-Foods loaf.

Maya, Most of the Whole Foods on the east coast have these items already. I really love them too however they are expensive, I only buy them once in a great while because in our store most items are just under $7. a lot of money for a loaf of bread. I'm pretty sure most have dairy in them and they all can contain nuts.

My only other complaint is that some of them seem to mildew quickly, the pizza crust has gotten mildew on it by the second day and this has happened to me twice now. But they are really good tasting. Also our Whole Foods doesn't have that many or maybe they sell out really quick, they have a tiny rack for all the gluten free stuff (including other brands not just whole foods) and often when I go there its only got 1 of item on it of maybe 6 different things. So for example, there will be one corn bread, 1 pizza crust, 1 box of cookies, etc. They never have much on the rack.

Completely agree!

Was the pizza crust frozen in Whole Foods and at your home?

Plus, make sure that it is fresh.

My husband and I love the apple pie. It was small and cost over $6.00, but we both agreed that it was worth it. It is so sweet that we have gotton 6 small slices from it - so it lasted for three after dinner deserts. Next time we go, we plan on stocking up and freezing them. The price of gas to and from is worse then the cost of the pie. I have not tried the bread yet, but did buy one and put it in the freezer. Still working on a K loaf I have. I did not buy the pizza crust as I just order Chebe's and will try theirs first. By, the way, my husband is not Celiac and thought the pie was really tasty.

Whole foods gluten-free stuff is brought into the store frozen... I've found that if I get to the store and they are out of corn bread if I ask at the bakery they will go on the back freezer and bring some out for me (if they have it I often buy about 6 at a time because Whole Foods is about 45 minutes away from me so I stock up).

So often when I get the pizza its frozen, I take it home put it on the counter and a day or 2 later its mildew. There are 2 crusts in the bag, I usually eat the first one that day but the second one is usually totally mildew by day 2.

Hey celiac3270,

Our Whole foods Market just started to carry the Bakehouse products this week. Yeah!!!

I was so excited for Kayla (dragon queen) when I saw their sandwich bread. She has not had a decent sandwich bread, that we have been able to find so far for lunches and thus has just gone without.

I bought a loaf yesterday, tasted myself. You are right, it simply taste sooo much better.But they do seem a little thick and still on the dry side. Do you toast yours first before making the sandwich or do you make sandwiches just like regular gluten sandwich bread?Whats the trick to compensate for the dryness?

Put it in your freezer when you get home. Then just take it out a couple hours before you cook it. It seems to have worked for me.. but maybe I was just lucky :huh:

The only negative for me about the bread is that it's a little thick. I personally don't toast it for sandwiches, but experiment and see what works the best for you!

Jnkmnky Collaborator

The bread IS thick. It makes excellent french toast.

I just read that Whole Foods in Northridge is having a celiac awareness day this wednesday where there will be product samples, displays and some portion of the day's product sales will go towards the celiac foundation. It is on their website with times if you are interested.

They are only in Southern California at this time. :( I hope they get to Fresno soon. I feel like I have been waiting forever! I'll be going to Whole Foods later this week and I'll have to ask them again when they might be getting the bakery items. Right now the only gluten-free items I can get at the bakery is a flourless chocolate cake for $25 that serves 8, and some chocolate macaroons. But I worry about cross contamination since they aren't made in a dedicated gluten-free facility...

God bless,

I just want to say that 12 bucks for a little pecan pie was totally worth it. I'm not gonna get the little pies all the time, its definitly a splurge item, but man eating a peice of pie with whop cream on top made me feel so normal.

That one has a big shiny shark on it. :P

      Welcome to the forum, @Nikki03! What was the other result from the other physician's lab work? The test result you report in your post is not a celiac disease diagnostic test. It is a test for IGA deficiency. It is also known as "total IGA". There are other IGA antibody tests that are used to diagnose celiac disease but if you are IGA deficient, their scores will be artificially low. Obviously, you are not IGA deficient so if there were other IGA antibody tests run they should be trusted as accurate unless you had been on a gluten free or reduced gluten diet before the blood sample was taken. So, if you have other test results, please post them along with (this is important) their reference ranges. Raw test scores without reference ranges are not necessarily helpful as different labs used different reference ranges. Here is an article that describes the various antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease: As you can see, there are IGA tests and there are IGG tests. What are your symptoms? There is another gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) that shares many GI symptoms with celiac disease and is 10x more common than celiac disease. There are no tests for NCGS so celiac disease must first be ruled out by formal testing.

      I had celiac labs done and got two different result from two physicians. I have tons of celiac symptoms and suspected it for a while now but this has me so confused can you help?    my labs results read as follows  immunoglobulin A QN =419 which was off the chart high but everything but that was in normal range.               Thanks sincerely confused!   
    • trents
      As I mentioned above, NCGS stands for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Celiac disease and NCGS share many of the same GI distress symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease and is not an autoimmune condition, as is celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease but there are no tests for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We actually know much more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS. Some experts believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease. The only known antidote for either is total abstinence from gluten. Joint pain is a well-established symptom of celiac disease, one of the more than 200 symptoms on a growing list. And many of them present as non-GI related.

      Well, as much pain as gluten has caused in the past, there's no way in hell I'm taking gluten on purpose.  What is NCGS?  And are there any remedies to quickly get over the swollen joints? My joints are swollen and hot to the touch and hurt.  For about two weeks they were too painful to even think about using them.  Six weeks later, I still can barely use my hands.  I struggle to get a bottle cap unscrewed they hurt so badly.  Edema in my legs and the knees hurt to walk.  And that was probably a minor exposure as the wheat was listed towards the end of the "contains" list in very fine print we couldn't read without a magnifying glass.
