Anyone Know If The E-nergy Egg Replacement

Hi,

Well, I went to the store the other day to get food, and I wanted some kind of bread, but I couldn't find any that were soy, egg, dairy, casein and of course gluten, free. So I thought I would make some of my own corn bread because I LoVE cornbread, and it doesn't require all of those ingredients. The only thing it does require is egg. So I found egg replacement. Great! But, since I am almost sure I have a casein problem (still waiting on the enterolab results), I wondering if anyone knows if there is casein in there. It says 'lactose free' but it doesn't say anything about casein. Well, I didn't buy it, yet, but I would like some other kind of starch besides always eating rice and potatoes, sometimes cream of buckwheat.

Also, if it does have casein, does anyone know of a casein free egg replacement? Or egg free bread!!?

Ener-G egg replacer is casein free. I've been using it for 10 years with no problems. Remember to add 1Tbs oil for each egg being replaced. I also use a little bit more of the egg replacer than it calls for.

Your cornbread should turn out great. It took me 9 years to get gluten-free, CF and egg-free pancakes to turn out well. Don't be hard on yourself if your first batch doesn't turn out the way you had envisioned it. Are you using a mix or making them from scratch? Either way can work, but it often takes a few "tweaks" of the recipe. Good luck!

haha, well, they don't have to pretty, just taste okay! haha...but I was thinking about making the both the cornbread and the pancakes from a mix. So if I just follow the recipe, they should at least taste okay, right? :huh::)

They should taste fine, but if you're not careful they'll be gooey in the middle. A good flour or mix, plenty of egg-replacer and the right temperature on the griddle will all help. I keep the griddle a little lower than for regular pancakes and cook them a little longer. Make sure to not flip them too soon so they cook fully in the middle.

Good tips! Thank you so much! I'm really so excited! Not being able to eat eggs has taken out anything baked at all! I'm going to make sure I always have Ener-G eggs around! Oh by the way, do you have any other intolerances besides gluten dairy and eggs? Just wondering.

Dani ~ another great egg replacer is 1 1/2T oil, 1 1/2T water and 1 tsp. baking powder mixed together.

I have liked this much better than the Energ-G.

Thanks! Does the Ener-g taste bad? What do you think the difference is?

I use 1 tbsp ground flax and 3 tbsp hot water for each egg. If I need fluff, I use baking powder and baking soda together with the flax. I can't get cakes to cook fluffy in the middle with this, but I make some awexome cupcakes with it! My pancakes, I don't use the flax, just the baking powder and soda.

I use ground flax seeds for things that require "sticking together", like in meatloaf, and the egg replacer for things that need to puff up. In something like a cake, I use a combination of egg replacer and whipped gelatin. This seems to give the right texture in heavier cakes like Apple cake or Pumpkin cake, but I stick with cupcakes or muffins for the most part. I've tried baking soda and lemon juice or vinegar in recipes too, with mixed results.

I don't think the egg replacer tastes bad - I can't taste it at all. It's basically baking powder and baking soda mixed together. I think I'll try the baking powder, water and oil, it's basically the same thing and would be just as easy.

Dani-I am also intolerant to dairy, although I seem to tolerate small quantities of sheep milk cheese and raw goat cheese and butter. I don't do soy at all and avoid peanuts, kidney beans, nitrites and nitrates, MSG, artificial colorings and basically all chemicals. I cook most of my food from scratch, which is the only way I can afford to avoid all these things and cook for my family of 6.

Wow! So you are intolerant to a lot too. Do you feel completely normal being off of those things? Or do you feel that there are more foods that are creeping up on you that you need to eliminate. And sheep milk and cheese have casein in it? I know the goat cheese does, but a lot less than cow. I really would like some kind of dairy in my diet. Thanks for all the info.!

I feel good when I'm off all of those things. I don't know that my friends or family would call me "normal" though lol. Compared to being almost crippled with arthritis, and feeling dizzy a lot and just feeling yucky, I'm doing great. I do sometimes wonder about rice, but I'm not brave enough to try cooking and baking without it. I just got everything down so my family will eat what I cook willingly and I don't want to mess with recipes again.

I'm sure sheep milk's cheese has casein, but it doesn't seem to bother me in small amounts. I put Romano cheese on spaghetti and sometimes on grilled garlic bread. I did avoid all forms of dairy for 6-7 years before trying it though.

I'm sorry to hear that you are living with so much pain! Hopefully A LOT has gotten better though!

So, okay, I guess I can just never ever ever eat cheese again. There are not casein free cheese or milk, right? I need to check this out.

Thanks for all the info. though!

I've been completely dairy-free for about 10 years and I have just recently discovered I can tolerate raw goat cheese. I've read that the casein structure of goat's milk is much different than the casein structure of cow's milk. It has to be raw though for me to be able to tolerate it. Traces of pasteurized dairy still bother me. I wouldn't try it anytime soon. Give yourself plenty of time to heal first. But...maybe sometime in the distant future (depending on your level of casein intolerance) you will be able to tolerate raw goat cheese.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm doing GREAT now. I teach PE and coach basketball and run triathlons in the summer. I'm a walking, talking advertisement for changing your diet if you're having health problems. It was about 10 years ago when I was almost crippled. The dizziness and feeling yucky has gone away completely since I went totally gluten-free. For me, avoiding gluten, dairy, soy, eggs and a few other things is no problem since it's made my life so much better.

As for the casein, it's in all cheese and milk. Depending on why you're sensitive to it, you may be able to tolerate things like raw goat cheese at some point in the future.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
