I was told, by someone who isn't hypo but has gluten-sensitivity, that bread from her local Polish bakery did not cause any discomfort or side-effects.
Apparently their bakery supplies come from a Polish supplier in London but not sure whether the dough is baked locally or what.
Basingstoke deli if anyone is interested.
Haven't bought from a Polish bakery but have just returned from holiday in Treen, Cornwall, where the local shop sold a delicious bread made from spelt flour and other ingredients, which were gluten free. The only equivalent I could find in our local supermarket was made from spelt and pumpkin seeds - OK but not as soft and fresh as the Cornish bread.
I wonder if there was a local bakery? Does the supermarket one have any gluten in at all?
No local bakery where I live so bought in the supermarket's bakery, but it's expensive so was wondering about making my own.
I understood from the Cornish that it was gluten free but, reading up about it, apparently, spelt is an ancient grain, low in gluten and easier to digest so may be tolerated by some but not by celiacs. It's closely related to wheat and should not be eaten by people with a gluten intolerance.
Can I ask which supermarket please? Would be interested to hear what you think of it.
I'm just back from a supersize Asda, what joy! Good selection of Polish breads but they all contained gluten. In fact, I couldn't see any type of g-f bread but it was busy and I just wanted to run! Overwhelmed by the size and number of people there.
I don't think I'd buy it again. I'm not sure whether it was that fresh and was hard to slice with the bread knife. There was no 'sell by' date and perhaps, being a more unusual bread, it had been hanging around longer. £1.80 from our small Tesco supermarket.
Polish bake a lot of sourdough.
You can often pick them up in supermarkets at the end of the day really cheap when marked down [people haven't learned ,yet] shhh...and excellent quality.
Good if you're yeast intolerant- better still if you can get the gluten free one. I'll look out for that myself.
Thanks tegz. Can you actually get g-f sour dough in supermarkets?
Hi, where abouts in jolly Basingstoke is this deli please?
Not sure where in Amazingstoke but I'll find out next week when I'll be seeing the person who told me. Can't wait to have some 'fresh' bread rather than the wrapped sliced g-f offerings!
I am not gluten intolerant because wheat products as such do not affect me, however bread does.
I find true sourdough is fine, but beware because many supermarkets and bakeries sell a 'sourdough' which does use the sourdough starter with wild yeast, but ALSO adds commercial yeast to the mix to make it rise quicker.
I have also found that in the US and Italy I am a lot less affected by the bread. Different strains of yeast, perhaps?
I'm not celiac and don't think I have gluten intolerance but bread makes me bloated. However, I can eat fresh bread made daily on holiday in Turkey without adverse effect. They don't use preservatives or other additives in their flour that's why it goes stale so quickly.
In this country we use far too many additives in our bread and it's often in bread flour too. This has made me wonder if some people are actually allergic to the preservatives rather than gluten or yeast.
Has anyone switched from NDT to T3?
Has anyone tried Raw Multiple from iherb?
Anyone ever suffer from a scalloped tongue?
Anyone done their research on Thiroyd tablets from Thailand?
