Zebra Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Well, it would appear mine is a definite allergy and the doc recommended abstention from eating the culprit foods (oh really, that sounds like a clever idea, wish I'd thought of it instead of eating oranges everyday and almost suffocating.... but go on). He also gave me anti histamines and instructions to call an ambulance if I have trouble breathing. So, I won't be going for tests and I guess your doc might do the same, who knows unless you speak to him/her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiec1979 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I bought some wheat free bread today and ate some as a sandwich at lunch. ive started buying soya bread from morrisons, not for any health reasons- just coz they NEVER have any blimming brown bread! they carry a brand called burgens and do 2 types. the first is like a warburtons seeded batch type thing with extra linseed (v. good for you) and all sorts of yummy bits in. the other one sounds a bit wierd, but is really nice too. its exactly the same but with cranberries in it. the first time i had it, i actually bought it by accident (d'oh!) but didnt regret it at all. it is a bit pricey, about a quid a loaf, but it definately lasts longer...and for someone who struggles to get through a loaf in a week, or before it goes mouldy, thats definately a bonus. best of luck, sophie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiglet Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 So is the soya bread wheat/gluten free? Thanks No, it's a low glycaemic index bread but still contains grains and gluten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohollyho Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 there a place behind the hallamshire hospital for food allergy testing its £35! its a good idea i thinks, your body may have become sensitive to certain foods (usually wheat)and you may just need a break from them.

sophiec1979 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 So is the soya bread wheat/gluten free? Thanks i honestly dont know- i had to get a mini warburtons seeded batch because there wasnt even any of the soya bread yesterday- rubbish! i suspect twiglet is probably right, but a check of the ingredient labels etc will be able to confirm things for you. sorry if ive got your hopes up and its not suitable. sophie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md25 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Bread made entirely from soya will be gluten free. Such a loaf would probably taste like ass though. The only way to know for sure is to check the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiglet Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I did check before I wrote it!. It definitely, categorically, is NOT gluten or wheat free. The product warnings state: Contains Gluten, Wheat and Soya It is just a regular loaf that contains soya, it is not purely made from it. Gluten free breads are (in my opinion) truly revolting, and a whole lot more expensive than these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairyNormal Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 The loaf I got was from Harvestyme health food shop in Hillsborough. It's a wheat free rye loaf and is actually pretty ok. Had a slice toasted for breakfast and so far no pain at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't suitable for Coeliacs as it still contains gluten in the rye (hence why it isn't as revolting as gluten free bread!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
