I'm so bummed. Yesterday for the first time in three months I ate something with wheat in it. I had a Subway wrap. On the inside I just had turkey, cheese, lettuce, bell pepper and mayo. All those things I've had all along on Atkins without issue. Well this morning I had gained 2 lbs! I didn't change anything except that wrap, and I'm sure it's the wheat in the wrap. I know it's just water, but I'm bummed because it cuts out all the low-carb breads for me. I suspected that I had a wheat allergy before doing Atkins because every time I'd eat pasta or a sandwich, I'd be really bloated within an hour or so of eating it. I guess it's true. What a bummer!

Anybody know of some good low-carb breads that don't contain wheat?

It may be the gluten in the wheat that is the culprit. The bloating sounds typical of a gluten intolerance.

I think those who have gluten intolerances eat things like rice breads but they aren't very lo carb are they?. You may have to some how devise your own recipe with rice flours and nutmeals etc.

In DANDR it addresses wheat allergies and to "cure" yourself of this, you must banish not only wheat products but also other allowable products like mushrooms. This is a 6 week process and then you can re-introduce the allowables back into your diet.

That is for yeast intolerences. Someone who is sensative to gluten is a celiac and I don't belive they can cure themselves. Candidia could be the culprite though and in that case the yeast restricted diet in DANDR would help.

If you look in the recipes section you may be able to find some bread recipes that include things like almond flour, soy flour and oat flour. I think you can get the soy flour isolated type (I recall that meaning they isolate the carbohydrates out of the product or somethin' like that). Hope that helps you

You haven't got a wheat allergy you are just holding onto water because you ate some carbs. Don't invent allergies. If you've been eating wheat all your life without a reaction you're fine. You could drive yourself neurotic like this.
