Hopefully you have been there and you can help if you live in the UK.
I gave DD 2 1/2 some pasta containing mono diglycerrides fatty acids and she became bright red. Luckily it did not go as far as the hostpital. All the breads I found whitout soya flour and milk products have mono diglycerides so what bread do you give your child suffering from milk products and soya allergy?
So far I have managed with products from the local supermarket, which saves both time and money.

tulip - babybarrister's right. Invest in a bread machine. Most have timers etc so all the family can wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread. I defy anyone to not like that smell (ok, i bet there'll be someone!). Most also have other functions as well as bread - making dough etc for pizzas and cakes etc. Very handy if you're going to be doing more and more made from scratch foods.

Genius bread from most supermarkets.

silverfrog · 01/02/2011 14:51

pagwatch - is pagboy ok with genius bread?

only for some unfathomable reason dd1 reacts to it (def the bread - have tested it twice. bizarrely she is ok with DS bread, so we use that instead, but I do still wonder what could be the issue, as form the labels, Genius comes out much better...)

pagwatch · 01/02/2011 15:01

He has had it as a base for chicken nugget coating and so far no reaction..

I buy it mostly for 'paggirl though. I watch her diet as we try to reduce her hideous breathing episodes.
(that ought to be no breathing episodes)

Ds has odd unfathomable reactions sometimes too. So far this seems ok though. That is annoying for you as it is really good bread.

silverfrog · 01/02/2011 15:08

ok, thanks.

odd no breathing issues? sounds worrying. hope paggirl is ok.

we have just put dd2 (4 next month) onto gluten, and are monitoring carefully... she is loving "real" bread, though Grin

'tis a weird one alright - disgusting rancid output with genius bread (indeed a wonder bread, and all fine according to the label), and absolutely fine, would never guess there could be a bowel issue on DS bread... so poor old dd1 gets ot stick with the dry/rock hard mankiness that is gluten free bread (other than genius)

Thank you all for your post. It looks like I either have to go shopping at tesco's or invest in a bread machine.
I'll have a look at the genius bread as well ( I suspect it is quite expensive).
For the bread machine do you use bread mixes or just do your own? (I am pretty much uninspired as I just got rid of my bread machine, 'cause I am not wondermum!)

Do your own, so you know exactly what's in it. The 'italian style' white produced by my panasonic is very easy and good.

Amieesmum · 02/02/2011 14:25

Bread making is great fun and fairly simple, I do it every day first thing when making breakkie - takes about 10 mins - then come back to it later & cook ready for lunch x

We buy the Crusty White Loaf from Marks & Spencer. A lot of their rolls are also free from dairy, soya & egg. As are Sainsbury's torpedo rolls.

Asteria · 03/02/2011 13:07

Genius is good but ruddy expensive - about £2.40 for a small loaf in Tesco. If you bought a bread maker it would pay for itself in no time against the 'free from' varietys of bread. Also you get to control all the other things that go into your bread like salts/sugar/preservatives/bleaching agents etc - which is always a huge bonus.

My DD is severely intolerant to dairy & soya (and oats & barley) we also buy the white crusty loaf from M&S, (99p) its a god send tbh.

They also do some baps which are ok....

I tend to keep it in the freezer and get her bread out slice at a time the night before iyswim.

DD also eats the tescos own crumpets.

I think waitrose do a couple of loaves too Smile

greenbananas · 08/02/2011 23:21

Tulipe, I too am completely uninspired by breadmakers. I am almost certainly the world's worst cook... but making dairy/soya-free bread is ridiculously easy with a breadmaker and it only takes about 3 minutes once you have got into the swing of it.

I use the standard recipes in the breadmaker booklet, but just leave the milk powder out (tastes fine but doesn't keep for quite as long - so we eat plenty of toast and feed any leftovers to the ducks).

Our breadmaker cost £50 but we have probably saved at least that over the last 2 years.

Thanks. We love genius bread and the breadmaker idea is...well...maturing.
Just went to asda and got some ASDA's own wholemeal pita bread and Asda's own potatoe cakes that DD love. It is great for a snack on the go.
Sadly we don't really eat in cafes since DD is on her diet, but it is working great for my DH's waist.
