Question About Ener-g Breads

I just bought a loaf of Ener-G brand white rice bread which says gluten-free all over it. When I got home I read over the label (I know should have done that at the store) and it has yeast in it. Am I mistaken or is yeast not a good item to eat when on the gluten-free diet?

Yeast, in and of itself, is gluten-free. The Ener-g bread is perfectly safe from a gluten standpoint. There are those who are sensitive to yeast, but that's a different issue.

It's best toasted ;)

Thank you I will try it toasted with peanut butter :)

The other poster is correct. But I believe they also make a yeast free bread if that's what you need. You might have to order it from them though.

The baking forum has many valuable recipes and resources if you find that toasting ..... isn't enough and the peanut butter was frightened. :lol:

The texture makes it useful for french toast, stuffing and as fresh breadcrumbs for breading.

You guys must not have tried the newer Enger-G breads. 5 years ago you could break a tooth. . .now I buy the Light Tapioca and it is great! I am betting it was a formula change.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.
