Hi all, I'm heading out to the hospital in a bit for another cat scan on my belly,on the way home I'll stop and get some foods that are IBS safe. I'm trying to incorporate Bread back into my diet,could someone please give me ideas on safe breads. I understand french bread is fine from the bakery,but I'd like packaged bread I can freeze,it'll last alot longer. pita bread is fine to? thanks very much!!

and am back to making my own bread or bakery breads- for awhile I was buying bread but the store stopped carrying it- Koeplinger italian or french breads (not country french) have no dairy and no HFCS in them.. but the local store stopped carrying them and I think they switched to the country french instead maybe at the bakery level.

Try doing a Search on "sandwich bread" (don't use the quotes), no time limit. This has come up a lot.
I buy Whole Foods White sliced bread, it's perfectly safe and lasts forever in the fridge. Pita should be fine, too, but always read the label. English muffins can be fine, also, again check the labels - if I remember correctly, Thomas' have HFCS.
You can freeze bakery bread (French, Italian, baguette) with no problem. I slice it up into the lengths I want, wrap each piece in aluminum foil, put the pieces in plastic bag, and they do fine. I just throw the aluminum wrapped piece in the oven when I'm ready to use it.

but I do buy Whole Foods English muffins and freeze those. They're the only no dairy English muffins I've been able to find, no HFCS in them either.
Occasionally I'll get French or Italian bread from the bakery part of the store, but can't comment on freezing it, as it gets eaten pretty quickly.

thank you all, I bought a fresh loaf of white crusty loaf,it looked ok and the man at the bakery said it had no dairy,he was nice enough to slice it for me. I also bought pita bread and some all natural turkey slices,newmans own cookies too. I finally feel like I have something to eat I had nilla waffers on my list,because I thought I saw them on heathers list of safe foods,but the box listed dairy BTW...thanks for the tip on doing a search, I did that first but most posts I came across were about baking your own..too bad I gave away my bread maker,could have used it now LOL

You can find them for under $100 nowadays. I measure out the dry ingredients one batch at a time (minus the yeast) and put them in ziploc bags. Then, when I'm ready to make bread, I dump the bag in, add the water, marg and yeast and I'm DONE in less than 2 minutes flat. Yummy and so so easy.

I keep my breads fat free- I use potato water (I save when I make mashed taters for myself or family and freeeze in premeasured portions) workslike milk powder to tenderize the bread.

I use 2 tbsp of Smart Balance Light, or 1 tbsp of a soy margarine. It doesn't seem to make a difference in fresh-baked bread, but once it's a day old, I can tell a difference if I don't use it.

You can definitely "bump" up your older posts. Redundancy just clutters up the boards.
And if people aren't responding with brand names, it's probably because we don't know of any. You just have to read the labels on what's available in your area, and you might not ever find a store-brand bread without dairy or HFCS anyway. Sorry - there's no other way around that.
