I can't find egg replacer anywhere....can I substitute egg white????? I'm wanting to make bread(not in a bread machine) and I'm going to use Bette's featherlite rice bread recipe and it calls for 1tsp egg replacer...can I use 1 egg white????

Also when making bread do you use the dough hook for mixing ect??? or the triangle like attchment???

Thanks soooo much!Jess

I don't think you should use egg whites unless you know that it is only the yolk that bothers you. The whites have more proteins so are more likely than the yolk to be a problem with allergies and intolerance.

I have used an egg replacer before with good results but I guess if you can't find one that won't help you. If you are looking in the future make sure you get egg replacer and not egg substitute because most egg substitutes actually have egg whites in them. I didn't know that until someone pointed it out to me.

Here is a site I've used before for ideas on how to replace eggs:

I haven't tried many of them so I don't know how well they work. I used extra banana and extra potato flower and a bit of water in a banana bread to replace eggs once and that turned out well.

Good luck

Bette's recipe calls for eggs and egg replacer...from what I have found egg replacer is dried egg whites!

Whoops, I think I misinterpreted your post. Sorry. I thought you couldn't have eggs. So if you can have eggs, I think you could probably use one egg. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

Maybe the recipe was trying to minimize allergens by excluding eggs or I know that recipes for a bread machine sometimes use egg replacer instead of eggs so that you can put it on time bake and not worry about an egg sitting in there going bad.

Sorry I wasn't of much help.

That's ok...I wasn't very clear that the egg replacer was an actual ingredient!!! I'm going to the allergist tomorrow...so who knows he may say I have an allergy to eggs!!!LOL

I'm going to tryo using one egg white and see what happens....pray from me! :D

I understand that if you can use eggs in the recipe you don't have to use egg replacer. Don't know why that is sometimes included, but that's what I read some place. Egg replacer is mostly for people who cannot tolerate eggs. My bread recipe calls for both whole eggs and egg white.

Egg replacer is not the same thing as egg substitutes such as Egg Beaters. The ingredients of the Ener-G brand are: Potato Starch, tapioca starch flour, leavening (calcium lactate [not derived from dairy], calcium carbonate, citric acid [corn derived]), sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose

Thanks for the link.

I've tried EnerG egg replacer and ground flax seeds before, and those both work. Knowing these other techniques will give me more flexibility in doing recipe conversion.

      Ibuprofen

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      My only proof

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
