Keto bread ingredients to watch out for
When researching keto bread recipes, keep in mind that not all low-carb ingredients play well with everyone’s digestion. For some, yeast, wheat and dairy can all cause stomach upset or bloating, as can artificial sweeteners. There’s a difference between natural erythritol and sucralose.
Psyllium husk, xanthan gum, cream of tartar and nuts or even nut butters can also cause issues. Be aware of nutrition facts, and note serving sizes when purchasing store-bought keto bread.
That said, you know your body best, and we always recommend listening to what your body is telling you. Starting a new way of eating can be a difficult adjustment for your lifestyle and biology, so don’t feel discouraged if it takes some time to enjoy all of the benefits and feel your best.
From classic sliced sandwich bread to tortillas and dessert loaves, keep your loaf pan and these keto bread recipes on hand for all your toughest carb cravings.
