The Gluten-Free Diet

Best Gluten Free Bread of 2011


Julian Bakery’s Smart Carb GF #3 bread uses a culture similar to yogurt to rise, making it easy to digest and alkaline forming in the stomach. We have added chicory root fiber (Inulin) to help the carbs pass through the body without being digested and extra virgin olive oil which helps lower cholesterol levels.

If you’re Celiac or just looking to rid your diet of gluten, then this is the bread for you! It is specifically formulated for people with Celiac Disease, and people on lean, gluten-free diets who are looking for a good source of protein and fiber.
To make this bread even more amazing, we have added freshly ground flaxseed- an excellent source of all omega-3 essential fatty acids (including alpha-linoleic acids). Omega-3s help balance blood sugar levels, boost metabolism, and control appetite. Flax is known to help keep fats moving, as it emulsifies them in the body and keeps arteries from hardening. Flaxseeds are also known to boost the immune system and relieve inflammation.

One of the main reasons we developed this bread is that every gluten-free bread on the market is made with starch and white rice, which is the same as eating an enormous serving of carbs and sugar. Smart Carb GF #3 bread has no refined starches, just healthful, satisfying whole grain gluten free ingredients!

LESS STRESS WITH JULIAN BAKERY’S NEW PURITY BREAD

When stressed, we reach for quick fixes – stimulants like coffee, or foods high in fat or sugar. But this diet compounds the problem. Chocolate gives an initial sugar and caffeine buzz, but leaves you weary. Salty crisps dehydrate the body and brain and bring on fatigue. High fat meals raise stress hormones and keep them high.

Sugar, nicotine and alcohol also stimulate adrenaline in the body, another hormone released to prepare you for fight or flight. Chocolate contains sugar and caffeine – a double hit! Such stimulants can trigger a stress reaction even when no major external stress is present; so try to avoid stimulants.

If you want to deal with stress, drink water. It hydrates every part of the body and brain and helps you to better cope with stressful situations. A good rule is to take a few sips every 15 minutes. The best source is room-temperature still water bought in glass bottles (some plastic bottles can leach chemicals into the water inside) or use a jug filter system that you fill from the tap.

Don’t go more than four hours without eating; your body’s metabolism will start to slow. Eat before you’re hungry to avoid overeating when you do sit down for a meal. And don’t skip meals. All you’re doing is disrupting your blood sugar levels, slowing down your metabolic rate and setting yourself up for binges and sweet cravings.

Purity Bread can help. It is cultured for 8 hours, giving it a slight hint of sourdough flavor, while making it easier to digest. It is a low stress food, giving you more energy than it takes to digest it.

Purity Bread is the first whole grain, complete protein bread on the market that is gluten free, low carb, sweet free, yeast free and wheat fee, with sprouted beans. It is moist inside and chewy on the outside, made in a gluten free, non-contaminated environment.

Now there is a bread for Diabetics, Celiacs, those with Candida and Hypoglycemia, or those who just want a healthier gluten free bread, with no refined ingredients.

Purity Bread is made with raw buckwheat, millet, short grain brown rice, teff (from the Central Delta of Ethiopia) and freshly ground flaxseed (for maximum nutrition), providing high fiber protein and good quality carbohydrates. It also has 13 sprouted, ground beans, which increases the fiber and protein for digestion, while the fiber lowers the carbs. Onion, guar gum and sea salt round out the ingredients’ list.

Buckwheat is ideal for people who struggle with wheat allergies and gluten intolerance. It has plenty of protein and B vitamins and is rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron, and calcium.

You don’t have to be stressed to love this bread. There’s nothing else like it on the market. You’ve got to try this one!

Enjoy, Samantha

CELIACS WILL LOVE JULIAN BAKERY’S NEW PURITY BREAD

This is the first whole grain, complete protein bread on the market that is gluten free, low carb, sweet free, yeast free and wheat fee, with sprouted beans. It is moist inside and chewy on the outside, made in a gluten free, non-contaminated environment.

Now there is a bread for Diabetics, Celiacs, those with Candida and Hypoglycemia, or those who just want a healthier gluten free bread, with no refined ingredients.

Purity Bread is made with raw buckwheat, millet, short grain brown rice, teff (from the Central Delta of Ethiopia) and freshly ground flaxseed (for maximum nutrition), providing high fiber protein and good quality carbohydrates. It also has 13 sprouted, ground beans, which increases the fiber and protein for digestion, while the fiber lowers the carbs. Onion, guar gum and sea salt round out the ingredients’ list.

Buckwheat is ideal for people who struggle with wheat allergies and gluten intolerance. It has plenty of protein and B vitamins and is rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron, and calcium.

According to Newsmax.com Health Alerts, contrary to popular belief, Celiac is not a rare disease but is, in fact, one of the most common autoimmune diseases. Some estimates put it at 1 out of every 100 people.

Like many such diseases, celiac results from an inherited weakness. The bad gene responsible doesn’t cause problems unless the person is exposed to a protein called “gluten.”

Gluten can be found in certain grains such as wheat, rye, and barley. When people with this genetic weakness eat foods containing gluten (and one of its proteins called gliadin), the toxic protein gets trapped under cells lining the gastrointestinal tract. The immune system tries valiantly to remove this trapped protein. The ensuing immune attack in the wall of the intestine results in a blazing fire of inflammation that smolders for very long periods of time. Because each meal contains this same protein, the attack can continue for a lifetime.

You naturally would think that the major symptoms of such a disorder would be related to the gastrointestinal tract, and you would be right. But only 1 in 6 people diagnosed actually exhibits these symptoms, which include:

Intestinal cramping
Bloating
Recurrent diarrhea
Weight loss from impaired nutrient absorption

Most victims of celiac disease have symptoms completely unrelated to the gastrointestinal tract or have no observable symptoms at all.

Victims of undiagnosed celiac disease can experience a long list of symptoms, including the following:

Sudden hair loss
Severe hypothyroidism or even hyperthyroidism (Graves disease)
Dementia
Loss of balance (ataxia)
Seizures
Recurrent pneumonia or meningitis from a loss of adrenal gland function (Addison’s disease)
Various deadly cancers

One of the most devastating effects of celiac disease is the malabsorption of nutrients from foods. Various food components, such as calcium, vitamins, and iron are absorbed from special segments of the gastrointestinal tract.

Studies show that 97 percent of people with celiac disease go undiagnosed for much of their lives. The average time of diagnosis for even moderately severe cases is nine years.

Making the diagnosis of celiac requires a high index of suspicion — if you suspect you may have this disorder, discuss it with your doctor. If necessary, seek a specialist who treats celiac disease. Gastroenterologists consider an intestinal biopsy as the definitive test, which can be done rather simply as an outpatient procedure.

Julian Bakery is proud to announce its newest product, PURITY BREAD, even pure enough for Celiacs.
