breadmaker, yeast and salt quantities, IBS sufferer

[maryo2]

My bread tastes yeasty. And as an IBS sufferer is giving me nasty symptoms!

I had reduced the amount of salt in my reciple for dd who is 11 months old. But I am thinking, is a certain amount of salt needed to kill off the yeast at some point in the process.

Shop bread does not give me the nasty symptoms, so why my own bread?

My recipe is
500g flour (tend to use wholemeal/spelt/rye mixture)
1 tsp dried yeast
1 tsp salt ( I have reduced this to quarter tsp)
1 tsp sugar
olive oil
0.5 pint water.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Be careful - my DH had no problems with wheat until he started making bread in o;ur breadmaker, and eating more bread than usual as a result. Initially it was just the bread from the breadmaker that made him the IBS syntoms, but over time it has got much worse and he now has full blown gluten allergy. You could try using the breadmaker to make gluten free bread but it doesn't taste that good.

Are you sure your home made bread doesn't have a lot more roughage than the bought stuff? Also you could try making soda bread to totally avoid the yeast to see if that helps but that would have to be in the oven - I've never seen a breadmaker recipe for soda bread, but someone else may know different. (You can also make yeastfree glutenfree bread but not in a breadmaker.)
