Ener-g White Rice Flax Bread

I bought a loaf of this a few months ago and just got around to opening it. I was very annoyed that the whole top of the loaf had broken off. But I used the two largest pieces anyway and made a partial sandwich for my daughter.

Her first reaction was that I had accidentally used my bread. I sometimes buy Flax bread from Silver Hills that is not gluten-free for myself. It did look and smell just like that bread. And although she hasn't actually tasted that bread, she said it tasted like regular wheat bread.

So for that reason alone, I ordered some from Ener-G. Up until now she has been eating the Rice Starch Loaf. It is filling and doesn't seem to break. Smells weird though.

I can buy the Flax bread at a store in a nearby city. It's just that we don't get there too often. I have to mail order the Rice Starch stuff. It is possible that my health food store can get the Flax bread for me. They can order some stuff. My goal is to try to buy more locally so I don't have to pay all that postage. And yeah, I know Ener-G is located in Seattle, but I don't know exactly where and it's not like I ever go out that way. But perhaps one day I could go there.

I tried their hot dog buns tonight. Not bad if your warmed them first. My dd and I both scrooped out the middle part because there seemed to be too much bread. I'd buy them again.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
