If youve opted for a gluten free diet, its probably because bread, cakes, pastries often make you feel bloated or uncomfortable, which no one wants. Gluten actually plays a very small part in that. If, like me, youve grown up for most of your life eating supermarket bread, then for the last 20+ years you have been eating bread with modified wheat and as many as 30 ingredients per loaf. After flour, water, salt and yeast, these ingredients are not actually needed. They kill the modified wheat grain and preserve it so that you can enjoy your bread for often in excess of a week after it has been baked. The regular consumption of this modified wheat and artificial preservatives is what is giving you the bloated feeling. The brands of bread that supermarkets stock are important because they provide an affordable staple ingredient to those who need it, but it is important for people to know they could be causing you harm. If you can afford it, and its accessible to you, please try the alternatives to supermarket bread before cutting gluten out of your diet completely. Better yet, if you have time - bake your own! Bread and gluten are important for a balanced diet, and most importantly, ITS DELICIOUS! For anyone who is interested, heres a little clip of a recent documentary looking into the bread revolution and how ancient grains and artisan bakeries are on the rise.
