OH MY GOSH THANK YOU! I am so grateful to read this post. English Muffins KILL my stomach, but no other bread products have that effect. I thought it was just me until I saw this post. I have no idea why this happens with the English Muffins , and I'm super curious about it. For me, it also happens with other brands of English Muffins, not just the classic Thomas. I'm so glad I'm not the only one. You make me feel less crazy.

Wonder if the Noob puts Spam on their muffins.

 

[KMFJD]

spam and egg muffins are pretty good actually

Hm, I've eaten my share of Spam on bagel, but not English muffin.

Ask your doctor?

Regular or sourdough?

I used to make my own, I suppose both kinds. Never had a problem.

Of course, the issue could be psychosomatic. Do you have a complex that involves them? Maybe it's a suppressed memory.

Is this for real or satire? I suppose real. Well, there's your answer, likely a syndrome that's not unique to the O.P. I imagine that there are other related food items that could cause digestive issues for affected people.

Just remember that your English Muffin must be at least 18 years old.

OP hasn't posted here in five years, probably one too many muffins did him in.

Hey...we should all sue the various "English muffin" makers. They're NOT made in England...so the label SHOULD say, in large, easy to read font, "English-STYLE muffins."

I been frauded!

You never can tell what's going to get necro'd eh?

Like English Muffins, necro'd threads are one of life's simple pleasures.

I realize OP has most likely expired by now after one too many muffins and this won't actually help anything , BUT the most likely reason for the stomach pain after eating English muffins is a mild food allergy.

They are cooked on a griddle not baked like a muffin. Some byproduct of the grill the oil used?

Oddly enough, they do the same thing to me! I should really dig into the ingredients to see why it happens. But it's easier to just avoid them LOL.

1. I can't eat store-bought ones, like Thomas' or the ones from McDonalds on a breakfast egg sandwich. I get SUPER bad acid reflux from them too!

2. I make no-yeast, granulated yeast, and sourdough dough breads. They don't bother me at all.

3. I make these cold-fermented English muffins, no issues: https://www.seriouseats.com/no-knead-english-muffins-recipe

There seem to be 2 versions of english muffins that I have seen. 1 (like the recipe you linked) uses corn meal. The other uses farina (or semolina), which is what Thomas' use. Maybe you have some sensitiviy to farina?

I was allergic to corn for a couple years! Plus dairy & gluten for about ten years. Although once I got treated for it (turned out to be histamine intolerance that induced SIBO, super fun), I was fine (but corn can be weird). The cold-ferment homemade English muffins, which use cornmeal, don't bother me at all. I think I've had farina separately as a hot porridge cereal, but it's been awhile haha. I should probably try Thomas' English muffins now that I'm on histamine treatment. It's sort of like taking a Lactaid pill to digest milk...it's a histamine enzyme that lets me digest histamine better. Crazy I went my whole life with constant fatigue, low-grade chronic pain, brain fog, horrible anxiety, and then poof - all gone from a magic pill I get from Amazon lol. Also, it's nice to eat food & not feeling like dying anymore, haha!
