In Search of Bread

http://www.nursingmomrecipes.com


One of the biggest concerns of nursing moms on an elimination diet is finding some packaged bread that does not contain any milk or soy ingredients. I know how frustrating this can be, which is why I've been searching the store shelves to find one to recommend.

It turns out there is a bread that you can eat, but you may not be able to find it easily unless you live in a major market that has a Whole Foods Grocery Store or a German ethnic grocery store.

Mestemacher Bread - A pre-packaged, hearty, whole-grain German bread. Most varieties are both milk-free and soy-free.

If your local grocery store doesn't carry this item, you can order supplies through Amazon at the following links: 3 Grain, Fitness Bread, Sunflower Seed Bread.

I will continue to keep my eye out for breads that might be easier to find.

Another Snack Idea - Sorbet

Dear Friends,

Another tasty snack idea comes from an alert reader:

Sorbet - many sorbets are dairy-free, like Savino brand.
(http://www.sorbet.com/nutrition.asp)

Unfortunately, all of Häagen-Dazs' sorbets may contain traces of milk protein, according to the company's web site.
(http://www.haagendazs.com/products/sorbet.aspx)

So just be sure to check those labels, as I'm sure you're already doing. But know that there are options out there!

cheers,
