I want to improve my bread recipe. Here in norway we don't have much "cool" stuff like you have in US. We can't buy sorghum flour in the store, they don't have xanthan gum either.. If the store is large they may have buck wheat flour..

But since my friends are going to US I am want them to shop for me.

And if it work in my bread and the people that buy my bread like it I will need to find a way to get it to norway ;)

I have been given an advice to ad Soy Lecithin Granules to the bread. I read that it make the bread get a better texture. Has anyone tried this?

Have anyone tried Inulin powder?

It is supossed to add more fiber to the bread.

Does anyone else has any idea of what I can add to get more fiber into the bread?

More fiber won't necessarily give a better texture. Some types of fiber may help more than others. And some can make the texture worse. I have tried inulin powder in bread, and it didn't seem to do much of anything. However, I haven't tried it with my latest techniques, so I could try again and see what happens if you like. Thing is, inulin is a type of Open Original Shared Link molecule, and I read someplace that inulin breaks down into simpler fructose molecules when heated above a certain temperature. So it may not be adding as much fiber as it would appear.

For more fiber, teff flour, unhulled buckwheat flour, bean flours, and even coconut flour, would be the ones I'd try first.

What types of flour do you have access to in Norway? Ordering over the Internet can be expensive, but that may be an option too.

The lecithin won't resolve the problem you're having with the new flour you bought. It can however, improve moistness and shelf life.

In the store:

Rice flour, corn flour/starch, potato starch, soy flour.

Some places: Buck wheat, millet, teff.

Most of the gluten-free flour is "ready" mixes made from wheat starch, corn, potato, teff, rice ++ We have several types but I don't like to use them.

I can order other types of flour on internet but they are very expensive.

The mix I use know contains 6,1% fiber.

Teff will add fiber, flavor, and give a more substantial crust. It also helps with browning in the oven, and has a nice aroma IMO. Millet is usually very similar to sorghum, and can often be used in place of sorghum and rice flours. Buckwheat can be very different from one brand to another. It depends on whether it has been hulled before milling, and the variety of buckwheat being used. I find it is generally better for sweetbreads than for sandwich-type breads, as it provides a more delicate crumb (texture inside the bread). Unhulled buckwheat flour will be brownish-gray, while the hulled type is typically off-white or light gray, more similar to rice flour. The unhulled type has more fiber content.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
