Whats the deal with bread?

[a_jap21 5]

Is it bad or is it just because its carbs and its fattening?

it expands in the stomach and can cause pain and discomfort. put a piece of bread in a cup of Water and see what happens.

What Magpie said. It tends to expand and, especially in the early days, that will push on your staples. I can eat pita chips, low carb tortilla wrap, but I cannot eat a good ole piece of bread without feeling yucky.

My nutritionist said I can have bread as long as it's toasted. Toasted bread is easier on the stomach and is dissolved quickly. I buy bread that's already toasted. The brand is bauducco, it has 35 calories/ slice, 5.7 grams of carbs and .8 grams of fat. I put Peanut Butter on it or eat it with tuna salad.< /p>

Agree with all above.

That being said, you'll probably be able to eat it again in a few months - I couldn't eat it until I was about 9 or 10 months out.

Where do you buy this bread? I've never seen it.

I found it at a grocery chain called compare foods...these are all over NY, not sure if they have chains elsewhere but it was in the regular bread isle. I was imagine other grocers would carry it too.

I can eat regular bread without toasting. No problem.

[diannepj1960 28]

I can only eat the raisin bread toasted....

I am 4 1/2 mo. out and can eat bread by itself, or at least rolls and croissants as evidenced by the cruise from which I just returned. But it's really just something we should limit greatly, for a multitude of reasons. It's definitely one of my trigger foods.

I am 10 months out and can only tolerate about 1/2 slice of bread. If I plan on having subs with family, I will buy the flat sandwich rounds and cut them in half to use with the deli meat. Before the sleeve, I was a huge bread eater, not anymore.
