A thick slice of granary bread is 21g!! How can this huge roll be 11/12????? Sorry to keep on about it.
 
It is weird isn't it? I felt I was being really naughty eating a whole one, but my BS actually lowered afterwards.
 
Soya flour, flax meal, vital wheat gluten. All low carb.
 
I found I could tolerate it toasted, but not otherwise. Nowadays though, bread is a huge rarity because it seems to exacerbate the plumbing problem and I end up in serious pain. The only exception so far seems to be Subway's Italian Herb and Cheese, I have no clue why that is. It doesn't seem to bother my numbers too badly either (the IH&C I mean).
 
Wow!! Got 3 in the freezer, watch out Lidl. Please can somebody tell me where the carb info came from.

I googled Lidl high protein roll, and the first hit was Lidl's Facebook page, where someone had asked, and someone else had helpfully replied that they contacted Lidl and they sent her the nutritional info, and she'd posted it up. Will see if I can find it again.
 
There you go, that's per 100grams I think they weigh about 114 grams each.

I've not been here for a few days felt a bit 'low' with the blood glucose troubles. Anway on the bright side I've discovered I can eat Hovis wheatgerm bread ok. Also I found wheatfree rolls at Asda to try.

Sorry you've been feeling a bit low Pat :( Good news about the bread! Shows the value of testing and discovering the best choices for you, rather than just picking something that sounds 'healthy' 🙂
 
Well I had home made chicken curry with brown whole grain basmati rice for dinner and thought omg RICE. Blood glucose before dinner 3.7 90 minutes later 5.0. So rice is good with me !
 
I have no problems with rice either Pat.y sadly I don't like it much! Wheat germ is one of my favourites, althoug I tried a Bergen loaf again and didn't find it as vile toasted. I'm a toast girl, don't like sandwiches or any bread "raw" but I do love a piece of toast 🙂 Those lidl rolls are nice too, just very hard to get hold of at my lidl :(
 
I hope you soon like it. I had some before diagnosis and thought it was ok....but not like my hovis white!
However now it will clearly be fabulous!
 
I don't care how they do it! it's just really good to be able to eat some bread🙂
 
Toasted, in sandwiches. I love it. Rubbish as french toast though.
 
When i chucked the burgen stuff out to birds,even seagulls turned their beaks up and left it. Now insult is i will have to go pick up the soggy mess
 
Well I might be putting my loaf out for the birds too now! I don't normally get a post breakfast spike, but for the past three days I've been trying burgen for brekkie and bang there's a massive spike. Back to my honey sunflower spelt loaf me thinks. Shame because I was starting to quite like it. I think I'm reversey diabetic, I get spikes from things most people tolerate well, and not a blip from the common problem foods 🙄
