I eat the Ener-G Tapioca bread and use it for anything from toast in the morning to french toast. I have found that it is best when toasted. Otherwise, it will fall apart. I always toast it before making sandwiches.

Having said that, I should tell you that I have yet to find one other person who likes it so be forewarned. Mine is just a personal opinion.

I also like their crackers. Unfortunately, I have developed a soy allergy and can't eat them any more. Haven't found a palatable saltine-like replacement yet. Of course, the holy grail of crackers is a gluten-free Ritz cracker.

BTW, given a choice between the rice bread and a piece of cardboard, I would eat the cardboard.

Lister, unless you have allergies or sensitivities to other foods and you can only eat Ener-g bread only, don't expect it to taste good. It's either an acquired taste or some people just think it's good.

Prefer: Kinnikinick or even rolls (frozen section of health food store or whole food) Gillian's brand.

to us Ener=g is the bread of last resort.

It absolutely needs to be toasted in order to eat it.

It was good when we were on a strict elimination diet because it was the only bread choice that worked, but it was never actually "good".

Breads by Anna, Knnick Knnick, and other frozen brands are better.

Lister, I don't know about the nuts, but as far as the gluten free breads go I think all of them are an acquired taste. I think what works best is just testing them all out to see what you like best.

I like sterks bread the best , but it is only mail order from gklutensolutions, but it is cheapre than most other gluten-free breads, and they last for 3 months.

I guess my kids are the exception because they love the Ener-G light tapioca bread. We do toast it in the morning and then pack it for sandwiches at school. I think it reminds them of regular white bread, which I would never buy them before. I always bought whole grain breads, so now they think this is a treat!! It seems much lighter than the denser frozen breads.

I tried their rice bread because I like poached eggs on toast so much, and the rainsin/rice toast I was using didn't work for that. ICK. The problem wasn't the taste - it actually sucked the goodness right out of my yummy eggs.

But I do agree with folks that say each person feels differently - my husband (who eats gluten) loves my rice/raisin bread by Food for Life. (I'm giving up toast entirely since I can't do any kind of butter anymore - what good is toast w/o butter?)

As to plantars...the other day a friend of mine offered me dry roasted peanuts and they had gluten in them - but it was right on the label. Wait, it was "natural flavors" maybe. Anyway, I didn't trust it. I would call the company or check their website.

Day 1 - Wow, this smells weird, but it tastes ok.

Day 2 - This tastes ok toasted.

Day 3 - This tastes ok toasted with butter.

Day 4 - This tastes ok toasted with butter and jam.

Day 5 - Threw out the rest of the loaf.

With a few exepctions, it's hard to find two people with the same opinion on gluten-free breads. My dad absolutely loves ener-g, to the point where he was really excited when he discovered it. I think it's okay. Other people think its the most disgusting thing on earth. If they sell it at your local store you might as well try it, but toast it :)

The nuts are probably okay but I can't tell you for sure. I only buy raw nuts - the kind with only one ingredient :)

I totally agree. I was ecstatic when I found the Light Tapioca bread - it really is like white bread to me (which I never ate before, only dense whole grain types also)....I LOVE it! Great for sandwiches, french toast, or just toasted with butter and honey. Yum.

Here's a thread in which one person mentions that planters nuts are gluten-free.

One more tip for Ener-g bread. I eat the brown rice loaf, since it's one of the few without soy, milk and eggs. It is completely inedible untoasted. I make garlic butter, spread it on liberally and then cook it on my pancake griddle, turning it so the back side gets lightly browned too. This is the best way I've found to eat it. You can leave the garlic out of the butter and just make toast this way too - way better than in the toaster.

All of the gluten-free breads I've tried have only been good after toasting. I think toasting is a *must*. Other than that I love all the breads. I'm not picky though and to me it was great to just have some bread.

All this talk of the tapioca bread; I just bought it and used it to make a salmon burger. It was good. It took a lot less away ffrom the salmon burger and mayo/mustard than did the brown rice bread.

Toasting is a definite for any gluten-free bread. I like EnerG rice breads and crackers and Kinnikinnick bagels.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
