Hi,
I found my 6-page list of Gluten-free products from Whole Foods, and discovered it's also on the web. Here's the link: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/glutenfreeproducts.html
The bread that I liked is by "Food for Life."
I'm sorry, but I don't know if the foods are kosher...guess you'll have to check the label.
And "did I have celiac in the end?" Ooooh...bad pun! No, as it turned out I didn't have celiac.
I continued to have significant digestive problems even when I cut out all wheat and gluten-free products. I tried it twice, both times for 2 weeks and then discovered Heather's books and realized what my problem is.
I knew I had IBS, but I never knew about soluble vs. insoluble fiber. That's when I discovered that whole wheat flour, not wheat flour, was a trigger for me. In addition, some of the things that have helped me are that I always eat soluble fiber first (no more salads at the beginning of a meal), drink Citrucel, take digestive enzymes at each meal, eat small frequent meals during the day, and cook IBS-safe recipes. These and other suggestions that Heather writes in her books have helped me to have NO symptoms for 5 weeks now. Yea! That's a record! (And copious thanks to Heather and this board for changing my life!
