Sometimes the Metro near my house has it, and other times I just buy the stonemill spelt bread. Both good... and both last in the freezer forever...<BR/>by the way, I'm now done day 10!nohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535486649565810071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-89969857679930962162009-03-24T16:29:00.000-04:002009-03-24T16:29:00.000-04:00There's a bakery in Quebec that makes awesome spel...There's a bakery in Quebec that makes awesome spelt bread -" Ynew". We buy that and Grainfields whole grain kamut (with yeast). They're both really good and ya, they're around $5, but we put them in the freezer and they last a long time and I really don't mind spending money on really good food -- it's what keeps us alive afterall. Both of those breads are available at most of the natural food stores in OttawaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-10380868803918012622009-03-22T20:31:00.000-04:002009-03-22T20:31:00.000-04:00COTW, when I first started buying wheat free bread...COTW, when I first started buying wheat free bread, it was SUPER expensive. the loaf was 1/2 the size and twice the price. Three years later, I can find it pretty easily (still more expensive, but not by much) at a few different grocery stores in both Ottawa and Montreal. Of course, they're fairly large cities. Hopefully, you find what you're looking for, and even if it's not changing as drastically, good luck with the changes you're planning (and yay for corny-ness! I approve)nohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535486649565810071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-2969584854121248042009-03-22T20:28:00.000-04:002009-03-22T20:28:00.000-04:00It's realy hard to get breads made with other grai...It's realy hard to get breads made with other grains in my little community. I can drive to the nearest city, but it's not a practical option. But this post is food for thought (ha ha) about some changes in diet I've been thinking about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-29092308215965752922009-03-22T17:46:00.000-04:002009-03-22T17:46:00.000-04:00XUP, thanks!

You're right that there are TONS of other yummy grains. the catch is that then you either have to buy them and make the bread/baked stuff yourself, or buy them ready from a small handful of places that make them, and they're usually pretty expensive...<BR/>The other thing is when you're trying to avoid a bunch of stuff at the same time, it's harder. E.g. I signed up for this mailing list for gluten free recipes, but almost EVERY recipe has either milk products, or sugar, or both, so I can't use them as is anyway... Luckily, I'm pretty good now at figuring out the right substitutes for most recipes...<BR/>HH - WAY to go for the movie... That's awesome. We (M and I) watched Kung Fu Panda last night (sooooooooooooooo cute and funny. Jack Black is HILARIOUS) and I had nuts, raisins, and oats with dates... For some reason, today seems a bit harder though. I'm feeling like I want chocolate right now... No plans to cave though.nohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535486649565810071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-63094442401835312422009-03-22T17:01:00.000-04:002009-03-22T17:01:00.000-04:00XUP - yeah, I feel the same thing with wheat &...XUP - yeah, I feel the same thing with wheat & I don't have allergies either. I think it's not very well digested though.<BR/><BR/>Noha - Good luck - heartily cheering you on from Dubailand! & so proud of you, the first week is the hardest!<BR/><BR/>Way to go withthe celery sticks the hubby & I watched a movie today & as much as I wanted Toblerone and chips, thank God, he said he wouldn't have any junk & so I got motivated too. Our movie watching snacks: Carrots & dip, nuts, & figs. It was actually pretty good. I didn't miss the tobler to tell you the truth & that was a surprise to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33760957.post-60183091328645156692009-03-22T16:23:00.000-04:002009-03-22T16:23:00.000-04:00Good luck!

I'm always amazed at how I can feel it immediately when I eat wheat -- and I have no allergy to it as far as I know. There are so many other tastier and more nutritious grains to make bread and other baked goods from. Kamut baguette... oh my!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
