Ezekial Bread and High Blood Sugar
Had 2 pieces of Ezekial bread (toasted) with peanut butter and sugar free jelly for breakfast. Blood sugar is 255 one hour later. With ezekial bread not having flour in it, I was hoping it would not drive my sugar up so high. I am 3 months out from RNY and have not seen my blood sugar this high since the surgery. Any ideas on a better type of bread for toast?
I've never used the Ezekiel bread, but what are the stated sugars in it on the nutritional info? Peanut butter also has some sugar in it. I pretty much no longer do toast or any type of cereal for breakfast and usually just have an omelette or eggs in some form. That was hard for me because I have always been a bread head, especially at breakfast, but I have to admit I do far better not starting the day out with any carbs. Feel better and don't get hungry as soon.

I will try them individually. Thanks. Should have just thought of that on my own, but that's why I like to post here. Always some good advice. I am definitely a bread head, but my biggest concern here is to try to get back to some good carbs. I do endurance events and I have to find a way to start getting some carbs back into the diet. I thought the ezekial bread would be good for whole grains since there is no flour.
I guess you experiment showed you that your body turns grains, even sprouted grains right into sugar. Not too good. Maybe you should skip the bread all together? I know I do since not only gets "stuck" and hurts, but there is too many carbs in the bread for my body to handle.
So early post op and you ate 2 pcs of bread? Not sure how you did that.... But it is a slippery road...
IMO - try to stick more proteins (eggs, egg whites, etc) and less Bread.? How about some omelet + Canadian bacon, or other lower fat protein sources? and if you absolutely have to have the bread - try 1/2 of a slice...

Being SO new out from RNY just about any carb has the potential to spike your sugars. Your brand new system isn't used to the nutrients being absorbed so quickly...even if they are complex carbs.
Skew your meals to be very heavy on the pro with a few added complex carbs as the 'condiments'! As MM said...toast with egg or cheese or deli slices would be a good choice.

My Mom was an RN in a nursing home. In the evenings, they used to give their diabetic patients peanut butter crackers or sandwiches because it kept their blood sugars from dropping overnight (if that was an issue). She said it was the peanut butter that worked for most of them. I would do it like Beth advised...try them separate and you will probably figure out the culprit. Connie
