Is There Such A Thing As Low Carb Gf Bread

[melisadki]

I really dont want to give up bread completly but I need a low carb bread because I also have insulin resistance/pcos. Any ideas? Will adding flax seeds to my recipe help?

Hi again

I would think the best place to start would be figuring out which gluten-free flours are low carb. I know for one that almond flour is (it's just ground almonds). Flax meal/flour is 0 net carbs as the fibre matches the carbs. So maybe get a good bread recipe and play around with substituting with those flours?

I'm looking for a similar item, so if I do some experimenting and come up with something decent I will let you know.

They have a load of low-carb gluten-free recipes. They all use their own brand of 'baking aid' though... bit weird. It's gluten-free, but it would be nice if you didn't need it. Maybe just use some xanthan gum and baking powder.

Depending on how low you want to go (on low carb) there is an EnerG brand lite tapioca bread that is sort of low, at least for gluten-free standards. It is 10g carb a slice (no fiber though). I actually like it better than their regular ones. It's good as buttered toast when you are having a bad stomach day.

Still, not totally low carb. But I feel ok about using it when I slather it with peanut butter and flax meal or something that is sticky and fibery. Definitely makes it easier on my system - I don't do well with sugars or starches either.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I noticed Kinnikinnick has a Candidi Yeast Free Multigrain Rice Bread. The discription says, "A selection of seeds and nuts make for great taste, an appealing texture and higher fiber content."

Here's the link......
