Ener-G - How Do Super Sensitives Find It?

Dear all,

Apologies as I'm sure this has probably been asked before but I'm new to using this board.

How do super sensitives find Ener-G products, such as the yeast free rice bread?

I don't tend to have gastro issues after eating them but I have a feeling the bread may be giving me slight joint pains in my elbows.

Just wondered how other people find their products?

And also whether if people have problems with them, are you entirely grain sensitive? ie can't tolerate rice either?

Thanks so much, Carolyn

I'm one of those 'super sensitive' celiacs. One bite will give me severe gut pain and bloating for about 3 weeks. I have eaten Ener-G products since I was first dx'd in 2004. My favorites are the Seattle Brown bread, hamburger buns and crackers. I also like the flax English muffins. They used to make a Harvest loaf bread, which I loved, but they discontinued that. I also use their rice bran and some flour mixes in baking. I have NEVER had a reaction to Ener-G products. They are super careful about avoiding gluten and common IgG/IgA allergens.

Do you have a diagnosed yeast allergy? If not, why do you avoid yeast? I tried the anticandida diet once and ate the yeast free rice bread. That was worse (taste and texture) than Ener-G's regular rice breads. Their rice and tapioca breads (which are commonly available in grocery stores) have given Ener-G a bad rep. I won't eat any of their breads except Seattle Brown, which is the closest to regular stone grown whole wheat (that I remember). Nevertheless, Ener-G products are very safe. I just wish they would substitute another sweetener for cane sugar in their cookies and other pastries. I have to bake my own, because I have a dx'd cane sugar allergy.

My husband who has gluten intolerance and several (8) other dx'd IgG mediated (delayed reaction) allergies ate almost all the Ener-g breads for awhile, when he was trying to decide his favorite. He also never reacted (with his typical joint pain or migraines) after eating Ener-G breads.

We have never had a bad reaction from an ener-g product. They are one of the best companies for dealing with multiple food allergy products too. IMO B)

We eat the the bad reputation products too! When there is multiple food allergens you go with what you can trust and learn to work with it. Toast or grill that bread yum!

Ener G is my main stay for flours. For me though,I had to find brands that didn't have any gluten free oat cross contamination. There isn't any oat cc and I don't react to their products from a gluten cc standpoint either.

Thank you all very much! That is tremendously encouraging and I will feel quite happy trying some of these products now.

Best wishes to all, Carolyn

Never had a problem with them and I use a lot of their flours and starches.

I'm having a real problem finding foods that I'm good with and I've always noticed that I've "felt" better when my diet is heavy in ENER-G breads. Everytime I stray and start adding other foods, especially other processed foods I get hit.

Amy's, has always gotten me, and just recently I got glutened by a can of Van Camp's baked beans.

Now that you guys mention it, I've never had a reaction to this stuff. It's the only processed food in which I can say that safely.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: 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/
