Ener-g Cced?

[raisin]

The past couple of weeks I have been up all night with gluten symptoms. Something very new to my diet is almond-butter & rice bread sandwiches.. I noticed I seemed to be a little better the day I cut back, and it's the last thing I ate each night I got so sick (though sick hours later)

I have wondered about this bread and cut it out of my diet in the past as a precaution.. it's time I called it to the jury :

Could Ener-G bread have traces of wheat?? Have any of you reacted to it?

Ener-g has a dedicated gluten free facility. I had issues with the crackers that they make and wondered about the same thing. In my case it turned out to be the soy in the crackers that I was reacting to.

I have been made sick by at least 7 dedicated lines before. One thing I have considered is their sources contaminating the raw materials, or them re-using equipment that was not formally gluten-free.

Maybe just sensitivities I don't know I have.. But I don't know what could be in the rice bread, other than rice, that could provoke an intolerant or allergic response?

Is there xantham gum in it? It is not a gluten source but some are sensitive to it. You may need to go with only stuff you know you tolerate for a bit and then add back in stuff like the bread and other questionable items one at a time for a week and see if symptoms reoccur. That can be helpful in pinpointing other intolerances.

It doesn't contain that, but it has Leavening, and Cellulose Gum (I don't know what those are?)
