I stopped eating bread years ago. I do not eat any grain product with baking yeast used in it. I enjoy rye crisp crackers and the like that are high fiber with no added sugar or yeast used in making them.  Yeast and sugar  in the diet contribute to candida.  Many people have candidiasis and do not realize it.  They just feel bad all the time, have skin problems and immune problems.

No grains of any kind for me either.

 

Weight Watchers got me off bread and sandwiches due to the high point value.  Then I switched to Primal Blueprint, so no grains for me.  I actually thought I would miss corn on the cob, but I really don't.

 

For major holidays I may make a Paleo bread recipe to make stuffing or French Toast.  However, it's not filling and doesn't stay with me as long as a higher protein meal, so that's why I only have it about once a year.

I also love a piece of toasted multi-grain bread with peanut butter.... 


 

 

@Q4u, I too used to buy Milton's Plus bread with the extra fiber all the time, and have seen it largely disappear from store shelves. Trader Joe's carries it if you have one near you.

 

For those who are curious, it's low in net carbs for bread AND does not taste like straw, as some high fiber bread does. It's moist like normal bread and tastes like normal bread.

RyKrisp with either eggs or cottage cheese was my daily breakfast for years but they have discontinued RyKrisp.  I keep looking for a good replacement but nothing is the same.

Yeast used in baking does not cause candida. Only about a teaspoon or two is used in bread and yeast is killed in the oven when bread is baked. It can't surivive the 200 degree internal temperature that bread requires to be cooked to.

The most common culprit for an outbreak of Candida is antibiotics.

OH Trader Joe's!!  We don't have one here but I'll get on line to see where the closest store is or maybe even order from them on-line if they do that!  I love that Bread, used to be in Costco, Sam's Club, WalMart, King Soopers, Vons, Albertsons and now nothing..... they've taken it out and substituted breads that are full of seeds, twigs, and whatever and is hard-ish and is just not as satisfying!  Some of those new-age breads showing up all over town are awful!!  Thanks for the Tip!!!

@persiflage   Oh wow, I just looked that up. Bummer about RyKrisp.

 

I know I bought an item very similar to RyKrisp at Trader Joe's. Trouble is, I don't know if it was a seasonal item. It was a very large, round cracker-type offering with a paper wrapper. You broke it off in pieces to eat it. I bought it and thought at the time it was just like RyKrisp.

@qualitygal  Thanks for asking this question.  First I take thyroid meds and bromine is a huge no-no for folks with thyroid.

 

When you read labels, these will be (or should be on all labels) the first two things you'll see:  unbromated, unbleached.

 

Usually in your better grocery stores you'll find a better bakery area and that's where you'll find more artisan breads.  I talk to the folks behind the counters who work in the bakery who say either they get the ingredients in and bake the breads in their store or the breads arrive already baked.  I ALWAYS read bread & buns labels and WILL NEVER buy neither unless the labels indicate unbromated, unbleached flour albeit wheat, whole wheat, or white.

 

Unfortunately these breads are getting easier to find - LOL.

@rustee  If that $1 loaf is unbromated & unbleached I'm buying this one over any more expensive loaf.
