Lots of undigestible fibre so should be ok!Oh, are carpet tiles low carbohydrate?

There is a heck of a lot of gluten in those rolls. I think it is the main glue that holds them together. So @DCUKMod's suggestion is a possibility. I stopped eating them for that very reason.
Sleepy, yawny, brain dead, brain foggy needing to snooze is a reaction I get to whey, and soy but not gluten. Gluten does other things to me (she says, darkly). So it may be a food intolerance, even if not to gluten.
There was a while when I couldn't understand why I was STILL sleepy after meals, when my blood glucose was rock solid. Turned out to be the whey or soy ingredients in the food.
Well meaning advice, but I do already have a blood glucose meter.
I was given one on first diagnosis over 10 years ago.
Oh, and there is no such thing as "too few carbs" as other posters here might mention.
I was more intrigued by the unusual feeling of fullness which takes a couple of hours to pass.
I think there IS such a thing as 'too few carbs' as in too few for an individual.
How would one know they'd eaten too few?
This is a genuine question BTW, I'm not looking for an argument.
Hi there, I think it is a question of finding the balance, ie, that which keeps your glucose levels at a level you are happy with and that which makes you feel good, in a physical and a mental way. I went through a period of eating virtually no carbs and although it kept my levels low, I didn't feel great on it from a mental perspective more than anything. I felt as though I would fall into a hypo at any given moment and to be honest, I missed not even being able to eat a carrot. I upped it to around 60 carbs which enabled me to include a slice of toast or some veg, etc. The 'depression' on no carb indicated to me I was eating too few (for me), it wasn't a nutritional thing really as I know you can go without but more a holistic approach. Hope that explains it.
I got a third freezer from Freegle and crammed as many rolls as I could get into all three before supplies ran out. Down to my last couple of dozen, now.
As far as I know you would have to go to Germany to get more supplies and that would be some road trip, especially as you would have to tour Germany to visit all the Lidl branches with rolls in stock.
Something to do before Brexit (if it happens on time) as well to avoid import surcharges on a few hundred (thousand?) bread rolls.
@Debandez found some in Lidl in Dublin recently
