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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
