Instead of bread what to do?

[Homecie 41]

With eggs, tuna salad and perhaps a yogurt dip, what do you use to dip? Is there a cracker or bread to purchase to use . I know thick bread is a no no. What about pita or those rye crackers that are really dry and crunchy?

Suggestions would be appreciated.

A spoon!

Seriously, that's what I do with tuna/egg salad. And yogert. I do occasion make a dip with yogert and PB2 and dip apples (peeled if you are less than 3 months out.

You don't need the carbs.

If you are simply asking because of tolerance and not nutrition, crispy is better than doughy. So pita not so much but crackers yes. The gluten has to be broken down through toasting, that is the part that is hard to tolerate.

Also if you are far enough out... Veggies. Thin slices cucumber makes a great "cracker" as does eggplant. You can dry out eggplant in a dehydrator or a low temp oven to make an awesome cracker.

I agree with @jess9395. I use a spoon for chicken salad, egg salad, etc. I've excluded all wheat and flour from my diet entirely and really don't miss it at all. Even at 4 months out, I still have a hard time eating anything beyond Protein because I get filled quickly. I do add a few veggies and berries to my meals but usually the Protein does it for me.

Bes of luck!

If you are far enough along you can use Pork rinds. The give you crunch and texture without carbs.

Fif you are far enough along I use bib lettuce for my bread with tuna salad, chicken salad or turkey burger ! Works great

I am 2 months out and I use romain lettuce for tuna salad

[lovebugg2013 34]

I use these. They taste good and since they are made of cheese they melt in your mouth after chewing a little. They were approved by my dr. for puree phase

Delicious especially with humus.

Fiber one bread toasted well. 50 calories, lots of fiber and it tastes great. I need to have some carbs/grains to keep things moving.

They make lentil "chips" really crackers if you must have a cracker, low in carbs & have a good amount of Protein.< /p>

My Nut recommended saltine crackers

I'm 8 months out and can eat all breads, rolls, wraps etc. I started with saltines. Then I used Fold Its for a bit. Now I can honestly tolerate anything I am in the mood for. I have a sandwich for lunch most days.

Make Kale Chips! They are great and crunchy. Just spray Kale with cooking spray and season with salt & pepper or any spices you want and bake them on 350 till cripsy.
