Canyon Bakehouse bread and xanthan gum

I finally found a good bread and have been enjoying toast at breakfast for the last 3 days. Xanthan gum has given me problems in the past and I generally avoid it - I thought I would give it one more shot with Canyon's cinnamon raisin bread as it had good ratings.  I was doing okay until today when I was stricken with the worst abdominal cramping, bloating and di.  Looking at the ingredients of the bread it seems like xanthan gum is rather high up there, generally it seems to fall at the very bottom.  Does it seem to you that there might be a bit more than the normal amout of xanthan gum used in this bread?  And I'm wondering if anyone else has had a problem with Canyon Bakehouse.  I was so happy to find a good bread and I hate to give it up but I can't go about feeling this bad.

INGREDIENTS:  WATER, BROWN RICE FLOUR, RAISINS, TAPIOCA FLOUR, WHOLE GRAIN SORGHUM FLOUR, ORGANIC AGAVE SYRUP, EGGS, XANTHAN GUM, EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, CULTURED BROWN RICE FLOUR, EGG WHITES, SUNFLOWER SEEDS, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, CINNAMON, YEAST, SEA SALT, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR VINEGAR, ENZYMES.

Xantham gum. potato starch, and a few others are common ingredients that some of us get bad abdominal reactions to. >.< if you knew they made xantham gum from dead mold you might make much more effort to avoid it lol. But your not alone, there are many of us here that react bad to it. You mentioned it is pretty high up there...I am a gluten free bakery owner, I used to used it when I was learning as it was suggested. The average ratio is 1/4-1/2tsp to cup of flour depending on how chewy you wanted the finished product. When I started baking and found I had a bad reaction to it, I changed to guar gum. I will admit I have xantham sometimes in a nut milk, or a supplement but it does not bother me like say a pinch of the pure stuff (How I found I had a issue with was this test) Or anything with it baked in it....now clue why.  Anyway If your looking for a xantham and gum free store bought bread look up julian bakery, they ship you loafs in the mail about $10 a loaf but they are low carb, and made with expensive nuts flours NO GRAIN. and they use psyillum husk as a binder (Same Stuff I now use in all my bakery breads) Very simple ingredient list also. Cinnamon Raisin Bread from Julian Bakery Purified Water, *Coconut Flour, Egg Whites, *Eggs, *Raisins, Cinnamon, Psyllium Seed Powder, *Lemon Juice, Potassium Bicarbonate, *Stevia, Sea Salt. (*Organic)

Hi Ennis and thank you for your reply.  When I make my own muffins I usually use psyllium husk as you recommend.  I hope I've learned my lesson and don't buy anything with xanthan gum again.  As  a gluten free bakery owner would you say that xanthan gum is rather high on the list of ingredients for the Canyon bread?  To me it seems to be and because my reaction seems quite strong this time I'm wondering if it's because there's a high amount of the xg.

Thank you for the link to the bread, I'm glad to see the cinnamon raisin is also low in sodium, something else that I have to be careful of.

Thanks, Jane

Do you think it could have been the raisans? I know If I ate anything with raisans three days in a row, I would have those same reactions. Canyon Bakehouse Ancient Grain bread is also excellent. Maybe you could try that and see what your reaction is.

I get the gluten rash which is a very good indicator of cross contamination. Even if I don't have abdominal symptoms, the rash will show up. I get a rash with Canyon Bakehouse bread. It makes me sad because it is pretty tasty if you toast it!

This is a completely gluten-free company with completely gluten-free facilities.  they test the bread for gluten.  I wonder if your "rash" is from something else?  Perhaps another ingredient or other things you are eating with this bread?

 

Wanted to add that the founder has Celiac.

When I spoke to the owner a few years back, she told me people are not allowed to bring thier lunches into the facility.  Here is a link to their gluten-free info

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      Well I had a moment yesterday morning where I accidentally gave her gluten. She wanted what I was eating and I forgot and let her have a few bites of toast. It was a really bad night last night with her behavior. Will a few bites of bread influence their behavior that much or could it just be a coincidence?

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The first set of results show two positive results for celiac disease, so at the very least it looks like you could have it, or at the least NCGS.   Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Confused with test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and they are a key biomarker used in its diagnosis. However, there are some rare instances where elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in conditions other than celiac disease. While these cases are not common, they have been documented in the literature. Below are some examples and references to studies or reviews that discuss these scenarios:  1. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)    - NCGS typically does not cause elevated tTG-IgA levels, as it is not an autoimmune condition. However, some individuals with NCGS may have mild elevations in tTG-IgA due to intestinal inflammation or other factors, though this is not well-documented in large studies.    - Reference: Catassi, C., et al. (2013). *Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten-Related Disorders*. Nutrients, 5(10), 3839–3853. [DOI:10.3390/nu5103839](https://doi.org/10.3390/nu5103839)  2. Autoimmune Diseases    - Elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This is thought to be due to cross-reactivity or polyautoimmunity.    - Reference: Sblattero, D., et al. (2000). *The Role of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase in the Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease*. Autoimmunity Reviews, 1(3), 129–135. [DOI:10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3](https://doi.org/10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3)  3. Chronic Liver Disease    - Conditions like chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis can sometimes lead to elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to increased intestinal permeability or immune dysregulation.    - Reference: Vecchi, M., et al. (2003). *High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Role for Gluten-Free Diet?* Gastroenterology, 125(5), 1522–1523. [DOI:10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031)  4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)    - Some patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may have elevated tTG-IgA levels due to intestinal inflammation and damage, though this is not common.    - Reference: Walker-Smith, J. A., et al. (1990). *Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease*. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 10(3), 389–391. [DOI:10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020](https://doi.org/10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020)  5. Infections and Parasites    - While infections (e.g., giardiasis) are more commonly associated with false-positive tTG-IgA results, chronic infections or parasitic infestations can sometimes lead to elevated levels due to mucosal damage.    - Reference: Rostami, K., et al. (1999). *The Role of Infections in Celiac Disease*. European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 11(11), 1255–1258. [DOI:10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010](https://doi.org/10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010)  6. Cardiac Conditions    - Rarely, heart failure or severe cardiovascular disease has been associated with elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to gut ischemia and increased intestinal permeability.    - Reference: Ludvigsson, J. F., et al. (2007). *Celiac Disease and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study*. American Heart Journal, 153(6), 972–976. [DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019)  Key Points: - Elevated tTG-IgA levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and in most cases, a positive result strongly suggests celiac disease. - Other conditions causing elevated tTG-IgA are rare and often accompanied by additional clinical findings. - If celiac disease is suspected, further testing (e.g., endoscopy with biopsy) is typically required for confirmation. If you’re looking for more specific studies, I recommend searching PubMed or other medical databases using terms like "elevated tTG-IgA non-celiac" or "tTG-IgA in non-celiac conditions." Let me know if you’d like help with that!

      Water filters and gluten

      By MaryMJ · Posted

      I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.
