Does gluten-free Bread Make Anyone Else Sick?

Look up Xanthan Gum side effects.  I have been having a bad reaction to certain gluten free baked goods and had no idea what could be causing it.  So I did a little research comparing ingredient lists of  products I have had reactions to and Xanthan Gum seems to be the common denominator.

Two things that definitely brought on very bad reactions for me are Subway's gluten free roll and Mi-Del's gluten free ginger snaps. 

Old topic, but probably should read this snip it of info.

"Xanthan Gum is a fermentation from the bacteria Xanthomonas Campestris. Before the 1950’s, this bacteria was best known for its ability to destroy crops of vegetables, namely broccoli and cauliflower. They called it “Black Rot” and for good reason. The slimy substance infected crops and had a thing for the cruciferous family. 

At one point, the Department of Agriculture had the idea to cultivate the substance in order to utilize it for something more practical. Now, the bacteria are grown in large vats using a variety of different foods to sustain that growth. The food chosen for the bacteria differs based on the manufacturer's needs or options. Xantham Gum requires sugar or starch to efficiently develop. This includes soy, corn, wheat, dairy, or sugar. Xanthan Gum can, therefore, be deemed gluten free because of the source, even including that which is grown on wheat because of one small technicality. Wheat starch.

Wheat starch is the sugar of wheat, in a sense, and is technically gluten-free.

After the bacteria is grown to maturity, it is heated up to kill the bacteria, dried and ground to become a powder, then added to your food and also your wallpaper glue, paint, and ink."

I have reactions to xantham gum from corn sources with vomiting and delayed fever (allergic)...never purposely nor knowingly tried a wheat base.
I have tried xantham gum grown on a beet substrate and not had any reactions, but still try to avoid it.

Contact the manufactures to figure out what they grown it on, you could get to the bottom of another food sensitivity or allergy, OR it could be a issue with the aformentioned "black rot" nature of the bacteria which some people have a horrible reaction to.

Yes, I had to stop eating Schar bread because I was getting sick on it all the time. I believe if I am not mistaken (it has been a long time) the Artisan line does not. I received this tip from someone else, and I don’t know if it is accurate but it seemed to help me, at least.

All of Schars products are gluten-free.  They don’t make any that are not.

      @DebJ14, Yes, Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the essential vitamins and minerals, not just thiamine.  All the B vitamins work together and many minerals are needed as well.  If one is missing, the rest can't work well without it.  Thiamine is used at the beginning of the energy production cycle and interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the process.   Mitochondrial health depends upon thiamine.  Without thiamine, mitochondria can't produce energy, ATP, needed for cells to function.  They sicken and die.  Mitochondrial dysfunction is said to be the basis of illness.    Interesting Reading: Practical supplements for prevention and management of migraine attacks: a narrative review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11557489/ The importance of thiamine (vitamin B1) in humans https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10568373/

      I was tested for nutrient deficiencies and Thiamine was not my problem.    The doctor uses the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  I was deficient in Carnitine, Magnesium, multiple antioxidants, D, Selenium, B12, B6 and a long list, just not Thiamine.

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
