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 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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      @Riley, on this forum we sometimes get reports from people with similar experiences as you. That is, their celiac disease seems to go into remission. Typically, that doesn't last. At age 18 you are at your physical-biological peek in life where your body is stronger than it will ever be and it is able to fight well against many threats and abuses. As Wheatwacked pointed out, absence of symptoms is not always a reliable indicator that no damage is being done to the body. I was one of those "silent" celiacs with no symptoms, or at least very minor symptoms, whose body was being slowly damaged for many years before the damage became pronounced enough to warrant investigation, leading to a diagnosis. By that time I had suffered significant bone demineralization and now I suffer with back and neck problems. Please, if you choose to continue consuming gluten, which I do not recommend, at least get tested regularly so that you won't get caught in the silent celiac trap down the road like I did. You really do not outgrow celiac disease. It is baked into the genes. Once the genes get triggered, as far as we know, they are turned on for good. Social rejection is something most celiacs struggle with. Being compliant with the gluten free diet places restrictions on what we can eat and where we can eat. Our friends usually try to work with us at first but then it gets to be a drag and we begin to get left out. We often lose some friends in the process but we also find out who really are our true friends. I think the hardest hits come at those times when friends spontaneously say, "Hey, let's go get some burgers and fries" and you know you can't safely do that. One way to cope in these situations is to have some ready made gluten-free meals packed in the fridge that you can take with you on the spot and still join them but eat safely. Most "real" friends will get used to this and so will you. Perhaps this little video will be helpful to you.

      Outgrow celiac?

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!
