rye bread with no wheat ingredients

[stonefly]

I have understood that rye has much less gluten than wheat. I notice that rye bread on the grocery shelf always includes wheat flour in the ingredient list.

Where can I buy rye bread that has no wheat flour?

I don't know, and I've never heard of wheat-free rye bread. But if you are celiac, you shouldn't eat rye bread, even if it is wheat-free, I would guess.

Rye is absolutely not safe for people with coeliac disease. It has about 1/3 of the gluten of wheat, which is still far too much.

I don't know if I have celiac, but I do know that I have a bad reaction to wheat.

What about sourdough bread? I have tried Izzio cracked chia rye sourdough. I like it but I noticed that it does have some wheat flour, even though it is sourdough.

What I'd like to do is minimize wheat to the greatest extent possible. For a long time I ate absolutely no wheat at all--nothing. Many ailments disappeared. I'm not crazy about gluten free food and I generally leave it alone. I don't like gluten free bread. I figured that if rye has less gluten and then further the bread is sourdogh, then I might be alright with it.

Why can't bread be made out of sourdough rye, with no wheat?

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for these interesting links. I wish that these other wheat products were available in the usual grocery stores. Perhaps they soon will be.

Years ago, there were no gluten free things like elbow macaroni and spaghetti. Now there are, in regular supermarkets like Food Lion. The stuff is good. I couldn't tell the difference between it and the widely accepted stuff made with enriched white wheat flour.

But I don't like the present gluten free bread made with rice flour and such. It's too expensive for something that doesn't even taste good.

Now my journey begins to search out sources of bread made of the types of wheat you mentioned, sources available at marketplaces.

Thanks. Now that I know that the stuff does exist, I need to seek out places where it can be purchased.

 

I did save the recipe, but I don't have an oven. I also don't have the sources of the rye flour, but at least I now have a toehold on the problem.

 

Thanks again for the link.

Things are swinging in the right direction for people who are aware of their wheat allergy, but it's going to take time. There are still a lot of people unaware of the health dangers of wheat. A lot of people have health problems that are tied to the wheat in their diets but who cannot or will not accept the fact that wheat is the culprit.
