i dont want to get into a low carb argument, we all have personal choices, my question was about a good choice of bread not why i want to do this

Nothing to do with carbohydrates - gluten is a protein.In fact most low-carb breads have a gluten component to help form the dough.
I'm just curious.

Not talking to you motorbo and I'm not trying to ruin your thread. I'm here merely to ask davidt4 to stay away as well. She doesn't understand that you are itching for a fight, especially with me. I am happy to stay away as well and this will be my last post. I do not wish to ruin your thread. I do not wish to enter into an argument with you. I wish you all the very best with your quest to reintroduce gluten into your diet. I do understand just how awful gluten free bread is.

Davidt4: i enjoy a good sandwich now and again, well i used to with gluten free bread you dont get to enjoy one, salad sammie in summer is a cheap lunch, its cheaper than gluten free bread and money is an issue for me atm, if i can introduce gluten even in small doses, then hopefully for social occasions i can just enjoy the meal with others instead of having to say sorry i cant eat that

your a right one aint you, im never itching for a fight, but you know how i feel about you and your attitude.and to come in here to warn someone about me! i have nothing against Davidt4, unlike you i have always found them to be great on here, we are all allowed different opinions, but you try to enforce yours on others, rather than allowing for healthy debate. that is why i dislike you.

I really like Freya's Tuscan Grain, or Yarrows Salba which you only seem to get at New World or Pak'n Save.I like the taste of Vogels but the pieces are too dense, too small, don't toast well and don't really have the taste or texture of "real" bread.

motorbo, some bread shops like "Bakers Boy" and even some of the larger "P'N'Save" 0r "Countdown" quite often have samples to try. Some even have Buns made which could be a good starting point also, just one of each to sample.
Just a couple of thoughts.
Cheers.

Most posters like to think for themselves and don't appreciate such 'warnings'.

sarahb5 mentioned the 'dense' Vogel's.Don't they also make a soft loaf!

That should be an interesting transition for you Motorbo. Have you been gluten-free for long! Hopefully your gut has healed enough so you can tolerate just the small amount of gluten you're looking for. Good luck - and let us know how it goes.

You can try the Vogels 'extra thin' to start you off maybe. I love this toasted and if you fill with fillings you can really taste the fililngs, its not too doughy - i hate dough bread

I like bread that looks and tastes like bread - Vogels and Burgen don't to me - they're nice but nothing like actual bread.Have never seen an extra soft version of Vogels but have never really looked.
Yeah so did I - never seen it in the supermarket though but probably because I don't look at Vogels or Burgen - don't eat a lot of bread anyway

Motobo, the gluten content is closely related to the protein content.I'm not sure which breads are lowest in protein but protein levels are on the bag so a quick comparison in the supermarket might be useful.I see on the Vogel's website that their breads range from 6.9 to 11.2 grams of protein per 100 grms so the Chia and Toasted Sesame is 8.9g/100 g; Twelve Grain Toast has 11.2 g/100 g and Rice and Rye has 6.9 g/100g.

I find Vogels a bit heavy - down here we have Couplands and they make a Grain & Honey which has a nice balance and stays moist - not as heavy as say a Grain & Linseed (which I presume means oil)
