Gluten-Free Product Review #1

I've been painfully cutting gluten out of my diet. I tried some regular pizza the other day and the next morning I felt horrid. I was bloated and exhausted and anxious with a stuffy nose and cloudy mind. So, no more. Since it appears to be a change I'm going to have to get used to, I grabbed some gluten-free groceries from whole foods. So the first: Glutinos Glutan-Free Crackers, Original flavor. Not bad. I had some this morning with some crunchy peanut butter and couldn't tell the difference. The taste is bland enough to be a good vehicle for other foods (peanut butter, cheese, etc) but I wouldn't want to eat them alone. The main difference was the texture. It wasn't noticeable while I was eating them, but the last bite was a bit... hard. They weren't crumbly but the grain was harder than wheat crackers. The second product is Udi's Whole Grain Bread. I was nervous about this, because bread is one of those foods that can't be camouflaged. This bread, however, was pretty good even compared to the normal stuff. It wasn't crumbly and it was a little bit sweet just like whole wheat. I toasted it and had a bit with some marion blackberry preserves- it was delicious and rather filling. Overall, both of these products appear to be great alternatives to my Town Houses and HoneyWheat.
