Looking for low sodium bread.

[Dana66CKD]

In Oregon we have bread (keto) with less sodium, but the other night I read post from someone that eats low or no sodium bread they buy at store or on-line. Can't remember name brand or where they buy it. Can someone let me know if they've found this and where?Thanks

[Dana66CKD]

Oh, I found it. It's Aldi store, Simply Nature, non-GMO, dairy free, low sodium.Sorry for not looking more closely at the other post. Will see if I can find it or similar on-line.

Thanks all

Can't find phosphorus content for Simply Nature bread per slice (serving). Let me know if you find it.

Also try Nature's Own Butter Bread, a soft white bread, good for sandwiches. Sold at most grocery store where I live.

Thanks for your response hj1122. I have made my own bread before but not without any salt. Will look for Nature's Own brand.

I wrote the Nature's Own company concerning phosphorus content. They replied that they do not test for phosphorus. Not a good sign. It does contain phosphate additives. So there's no way to know what level of phosphorus you're getting when you eat it, which makes me wary. I sent them a note that it would be beneficial for CKD patients to have the phosphorus content. I received no reply. So low sodium, but who knows on phosphorus for those of us trying to limit phosphorus. I'll have to look into Simply Nature low sodium. Do you know the potassium and phosphorus content for each slice?

Thank you, I wish they would add phosphorus to the nutritional facts.

Sodium free bread custom made is nasty. Just saying there may be other ways to cut back on sodium. Check labels for low sodium. Many will substitute potassium chloride for sodium, which can be far more dangerous.

[Dana66CKD in reply to KidneyCoach]

Thanks KidneyCoach. I watch out for additives and I agree Potassium Chloride can be worse. Will keep eye on labels/ingredients.

From my dietician:

The ingredient in breads that make them rise is usually yeast or baking powder. Breads that contain baking powder often also contain milk - milk and baking powder have more phosphorus that's why yeast breads are a lower phosphorus option. Regular bread flour is made from a grain - wheat, plants contain naturally occuring phosphorus. Your goal is not a phosphate free diet, just reduced. Taking the binder every time you eat binds the phosphorus that is in foods. The more high phosphorus foods you eat the more binders you would need to keep your blood levels in range. Binders are fairly large most people would not choose to take a large number of them. You can certainly make your own bread but the naturally occuring phosphorus in the wheat would still be there. Any phosphate or sodium additives that bread manufacturers add as preservatives (etc) however would not be there so homemade would likely be lower in phosphorus and sodium.
