Hi Anita,
Are you afraid you'll flare from the bread IC-wise...or do you have IBS issues too?
Somewhere there's a reason /Why things go like they do /Somewhere there's a reason /Why some things just fall through /We don't always see them /For what they really are /But I know there's a reason /Just can't see it from this far /Maybe I don't like it, /But I have no choice /I know that somewhere, /Someone hears my voice / I thought I knew it all /I thought I had it made /How could it end this way? /I thought I knew Somewhere there's a reason /Why things don't go my way /Somewhere there's a reason /That I cannot explain /Just like the change of season, /Just may not be my turn /But I know there's a reason, /The lesson's mine to learn -
Have you tried speldt bread? It makes great toast and is IC safe.Comment

I am in an IC flare
I am trying to get out of a flare and I am very worried about what i eat. I don't have IBS. I am having trouble deciding what is safe to eat and all the problamatic stuff I can't have I REALLY REALLY WANT IT. I would love a hotdog with mustard and relish. I want to get this pain to go away and I am scared I will make the wrong choices. A good bread would be lovely. I am waiting for my cookbooks to come in.Comment

I've never had any flares from eating bread, I usually have a sandwich (wheat bread) at lunch or garlic bread at night. No problems for me. Good Luck!Comment

I use an organic bread. I get it at my local grocery stores. It's Barowsky's Whole Grain Organics Bread. The oat nut is incredible. My kids love it, but at $4.00 a loaf... they have to be really good to get some. I have had no problem with this bread and I have to be very careful due to major flares with most foods. By the way, it makes wonderful toast. Good luck.

I can have bread as long as it's not whole wheat. For some reason whole wheat is a problem for me.

Toast...
I can have any bread with my I.C. problem. I can't have hotdogs though, the preservatives in them put me in tears!!! I eat organic blueberry jelly on my toast and it is great!!! Good luck. I know the frustration not being able to eat something that you really really really want....Hang in there. God BlessComment

Bread?
I dont think I ever heard of anyone flaring from bread unless they had an allergy to wheat or gluten? I eat all kinds of bread but prefer Ezekial Bread from the health food store, or a bread with the least amount of ingredients and no preservatives. Not because I flare from it, I just think its healthier.

Toast!
Hi Anita,
I just joined. I am an avid ingredient list reader and I have found that in regular stores, Sara Lee and Mrs. Bairds (a Texas brand) are the best. You have to look at the ingredients list in Sara Lee, though, because some of them contain soy flour of vinegar. I also go to Trader Joe's and get their Harvest Bread, which just has flour, baking soda, yeast, salt, and whey. The thing that irritates my bladder most from bread is soy flour. Hope this helps!Comment

I usually buy local brands of fresh bread (just have wheat, water, salt). Do you have Whole Foods Market or Bread & Circus or Fresh Market near you?Kadi

I found some good stuff
I actually ate a real meal last night, I have been starving out of fear. I went to a little market in town and really look and found spelt english muffins and Mrs. B's bread. As soon as I got to the car I opened the bread and had some. SOOOOO GOOOOOD. What do you think of the low acid coffee?Comment

I can have low acid coffee, but I don't drink more than a cup or two in a morning.
