WOW, Mary Beth!

Did you see they have paleo bread too? - made either with almond or coconut flour and only 1 carb per slice.. And very few ingredients. My question to you - would the egg whites and vinegar lead to too much histamine? Would the psyllium be well-tolerated by MCers?

Re the zero carb, I've never tried oats since my diagnosis. Is there really such a thing as GF oats?

It's so heartening to see these new products coming along. Thanks for sharing.

Mary Beth,

What a good find. I think I might be interested, if I can talk myself into paying that much for a load of bread! The closest store to us would be approximately 50 miles according to their map, so I would have to buy it online.

Polly,

I buy GF oats, but it has 32 carbs per 1/2 cup dry, which is one serving. So, I eat it rarely, although, I do bake cookies with it sometimes. I find it really hard to try and eat low carb and GF. So, this bread looks like a win-win.

Thanks,

garina

Polly,

I am particularly interested in the paleo almond and coconut breads. There are 3 health food stores here in Houston that carry that brand so I may take a trek over to one to try them before I request my local shop order them. If they taste good these breades will be a huge hit.

I tried this paleo (almost) bread http://cookingcaveman.tumblr.com/post/2 ... ially-over today and it wasn't bad. I suspect it could be made with whatever nut butter you can tolerate. It probably doubled in height and sliced nicely.

Carb Zero bread in our area is carried by several Whole Foods way on the other side of Phoenix. There are three Whole Food stores that were built about 3 years ago in my area and never opened because of the economy. I keep watching though.

I am going to try the Paleo Almost Bread that Deb made today because the ingredients got my attention.

I made the Paleo Almost Bread tonight from Deb's post mainly because I had some almond butter that I wanted to use since I didn't care for the taste of it. I was a little short of 1 1/2 cups so I toped it off with Sunbutter. I baked it for 30 minutes in my small convection oven and it could possibly have been taken out a little sooner. Recipe said 30-60 mins. Of course I had to eat two pieces when it was still warm from the oven. It cut very nice and didn't crumble. Texture was good but I wasn't real crazy about the flavor and maybe that's because I didn't care for the almond butter from Costco. I suppose you could use any nut butter.

It's amazing to see the multitude of paleo web sites out there along with recipes.

Hi Mary Beth,
It's so funny that you posted about this bread as I had a friend post about in on facebook this weekend! My WF does not carry it but I think Im going to order it on line and try it. I've been loving rudi's breads but would like a lower carb option sometimes as well.

Polly, I too buy GF oats. I eat some in my shake every morning. They are the trader joe brand and I have not had a problem with them @ all.

That's kind of what I was doing too Charlotte. I had accidently bought some almond butter that had some sugar in it and decided to use it up. I tasted it today and it is still okay. I think it is workable for me for a sandwich but I think I will try some other nut butters as well. I'm thinking cashew might be good.

I like Sun Butter. I tested sensitive for cashews.

Cathy,

You mention in another post or two that you are not currently in remission. If I were in your shoes I would look very closely at the oats that you eat every day. I don't know if you've ever read about my oat challenge a few years ago, but oats is a "different type of cat". It takes a while to build up a sensitivity to oats because they contain a much lower percentage of storage proteins than wheat, for example, and the peptides involved are weaker antigens than wheat gluten. Therefore it is not nearly as potent as wheat gluten, and it takes longer for our immune system to build up an antibody level that's above our reaction threshold. The storage protein in oats that produces the peptides to which many of us react is known as avenin, and it's the equivalent of a weak version of wheat gluten.

During that oat challenge (using certified GF oats) it took me 6 weeks to begin to react. Even though I stopped eating the oats immediately when the D started, it took another 6 weeks for the D to stop. Many of us here react to oats. IMO, all the expert recommendations that oats is safe for celiacs is a mistake, and the experts make that mistake because many people can eat certified GF oats and not notice any symptoms for weeks. By the time their symptoms begin, they are unable to make the connection back to oats.

This may not be a problem for you, but IMO it's certainly something to consider if you're having problems reaching remission, because unfortunately, oats does not qualify for a free pass for most of us.

I have this recipe in my files for future reference. It is from www.Elanaspantry.com


Paleo Bread

1 1/2 C almond flour
2 T coconut flour
1/4 C golden flaxseed meal
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
5 eggs
1/4 C coconut oil
1 T honey
1 T apple cider vinegar

1. Place almond flour, coconut flour, flax, salt and baking soda in food processor.
2. Pulse ingredients together.
3. Pulse in eggs, oil, honey and vinegar.
4. Pour batter into a greased 7.5" x 3.5" Magic Line Loaf Pan.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min.
6. Cook and serve.

I haven't tried this but it certainly is simple.

Thanks for this information Tex. I am pretty desperate right now and am willing to try anything so will try taking the oats out of my breakfast smoothie.

I tried the coconut one but I think I had a reaction, although it might have been some other culprit. I have frozen it and will try it again. Z, you do have a few stores in your area that carry it. None do near me (not even our Mom's Organic), but would you believe I found it for sale in a little coffee shop on the lower eastern shore? Go figure.

Hugs,
