Has Anyone Tried The Ener-g Tapioca Dinner Rolls?

My parents have been calling me the last couple days to tell me about the gluten-free meals they have had a Disneyworld and how good they are. One place brought them rolls and according to my dad they were so good they asked for the package to see if they could find them to buy. All they told me was they were Ener-g brand so I looked on the website and the tapioca rolls were all I see.

The nice thing is if we find really good products the lady at the health food store I go to wants to know what they are so they can order them because they have had so many people asking for gluten free foods lately!

So, does anyone know if the rolls are really that good?

OMgoodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sell them in my store so I try to taste everything before I sell it so I can give an honest opinion. I took a bag home, took one out and nuked it for about 20 seconds, when I took it out I smelled it and I actually started to cry. I had not had a dinner roll for 9 months and it smelled and tasted wonderful. I put a little butter and honey on it and ended up eating three. Several of my customers have come back for more. I did have one person who thought they were a little grainy but she hadn't nuked it first. I know we all have differing tastes but I love them.

I have not tried the tapioca rolls but I did just try Whole Foods bakery dinner rolls that were gluten-free and they were sooo good!!!! I haven't had a roll in over a year.

My daughter isn't thrilled with them. I've bought them twice for holiday dinners at the request of my mom. I think it would have been easier if we'd just skipped all the rolls but since others insisted on rolls, it is hard for my daughter to sit and watch them eat rolls with none for her. Both times she merely picked at a roll, eating little more than a few nibbles. But on the way home she asked for a roll to eat in the car and she did eat it. Both times the rest of the package got thrown away after having sat until the rolls spoiled. She just didn't want any more. I should add that she has additional food allergies and can not have any butter or margarine. That might make a difference.

I have tried the rolls and like them very much. They are small but very nice to just pull out of the freezer when you want one or two. I'm not such a great baker so they great for me.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
