VEGETARIAN PRODUCTS: Udi's GFCF Bread

Udi's white sandwich bread is usually good for low FODMAP vegetarians and is usually suitable for the elimination phase. However, you need to be careful. They usually use tapioca syrup, which seems to be okay. Unfortuntely, they sometimes substitute with Brown Rice Syrup-- definitely not okay. Read the ingredients every time.

 It makes amazing toast. It even tastes decent without microwaving or toasting. It's a bit dry, but the first gluten free bread I've found to be edible without some kind of cooking.

You will find Udi's in the gluten free freezer section. I have found it in the Stop and Shop natural foods aisle, Whole Foods, the Good Food Store, the Fruit Center, and best of all Trader Joe's where they keep it out with the regular bread and sell it for aout $5!

VEGETARIAN RECIPE: Low FODMAP French Toast

I prefer to cook this frenh toast in a cast iron skillet to give it a nice texture.
Heat cast iron skillet on medium heat for five minutes. After four add a quarter cup of canola oil

1 c Trader Joe's vanilla rice milk
1 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon
1 egg
4 slices Udi's White Sandwich Bread

Note that some of it will fall apart-- but it tastes great anyway!
