Stoneground Whole Wheat Bread - Diabetes Message Board

Can anyone recommend a good stoneground whole wheat bread, preferably one I can get in a grocery store rather than a health food store? I have found a couple that I like but they are not stoneground, which are slower to convert to glucose. I like Milton's Whole Grain (whole wheat) at 90 cal, 16 gm carb and 5 gm fiber. The slices are large, so I can make a sandwich from one-half a slice. Also, Orowheat 100% Whole Wheat Light at 40 cal 18 gm carb and 7 gm fiber. I would really like to find some good stoneground bread though, something chewy.

Much will depend on where you live as to what is available.

In my area there is Nature's Own and Mrs Bairds whole wheat breads for 7 grams, 9 grams, 11 grams carbs per slice.

Seems like I have found stone ground bread 14 carb per slice but do not remember the brand. May have been Mrs Bairds.

It really does not matter whether bread is stone ground or not, my body does not tolerate any variety very well but do get away with the 7 or 9 gram bread.

Have you tried "Fiber Choice" tablet before eating in order to add fiber to your meal? Some people have good results with Fiver Choice.
