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

      Not everyone will be allergic to whatever they're using in food. There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all your food isn't what you're having a reaction to.  ...& I used Cornflakes as an example because some gluten free people would assume it's gluten free but if they're allergic to barley they will have a reaction...nothing to do with their inhaler.  You're missing my points a lot & frustrating so I'm done commenting. You really need to ensure your food isn't what's causing the issue. I am checking with symbicort manufacturer to check their ingredients.  Good bye... I'm done with this. 
    • trents
      I certainly agree with all that. However, you also mentioned cornflakes with barley malt but that would obviously not be gluten free since barley is a gluten-containing grain. And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this online community is focused on. Is the point of this thread that having a gluten disorder makes someone more susceptible to reacting adversely to inhalers? That could be but it may have nothing to do with the inhaler having gluten. It could have to do with, say, having higher systemic yeast counts because the celiac community generally suffers from gut dysbiosis. So it would be easier for celiacs using inhalers to develop thrush.

      Re food,  I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using.  Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley & oats cause vocal and throat issues with me as well as gluten free flours. We didn't have gluten issues in the world yrs ago...the food changed somehow or they're using sprays that cause reactions in some people.  Re inhaler: Symbicort is registered as gluten free but companies can change their ingredients at any time so you may want to check with the company who makes it and get an ingredient list.  I don't believe I'm reacting to the inhaler...I believe it's a gluten free pasta I've been eating so I'm taking it out of my diet. I've used the inhaler for over 1 year and no problems up until now so I suspect it's the pasta. 
    • trents
      There could be other reasons you are reacting to the inhalers. There is no concrete evidence to believe they contain gluten. Anecdotal experiences can be misleading do not establish fact.
    • trents
      Are you saying you believe there is gluten in the inhaler products? I mean you talk a lot about reacting to foods that are supposed to be gluten free but this thread is about inhalers.
