Hi All,
Here in the UK a number of manufacturers produce a "Best of both" bread. It's supposed to be white bread, with no bits, but with the goodness of wholemeal bread. Anyone any thoughts on whether this would be a safe IBS food?
From the Tesco web site, here's the description.
"Hovis Best Of Both 800g
Soft white bread, with all the natural goodness of brown zipped up inside! Unbleached flour with no bits. White bread with added wheatgerm. What is it?
Hovis Best of Both is a totally different type of bread. It has all the delicious taste, texture and look of white bread, but with all the natural goodness of brown bread. This means that Best of Both is a great way of getting some brown bread goodness inside your family. How have we done it? Most of the goodness of the Original Hovis Brown bread is in the wheatgerm, the very heart of the wheat. Hovis has captured this wheatgerm and baked it into a soft white bread, locking in more fibre, vitamins and minerals than normal white breads. Incredibly, Hovis Best of Both contains 4x the wheatgerm goodness of wholemeal breads.
What is wheatgerm? Wheatgerm is the very heart of the wheat and is a good source of Vitamins E, B1 and B6. "
The information given per slice included:
Fat 0.8g, (saturate 0.2g);
Fiber 1.5g.
The white bread I normally eat includes 0.6g of fat and 1.1g of fiber.
Cheers.
Ian
