Just curious. I have been buying seeded sourdough bread from our local arisan bakery at high expense so I started making my own. I started my own starter dough with much trial and error and now we are producing successful bread. I keep it high in fibre dark whole rye , spelt or other whole grain flours sometimes a mix!
Its supposed to be low GI high fibre and the vitamin b complexes more available to our bodies as well as a good prebiotic to the gut...I have heard the saying feed the gut protect the liver from an eminent endocrinologist. Problem is cutting it thin enough to not affect a lower carb diet. Has anyone else found using sour dough beneficial?

I, also, make my own sourdough, mainly using rye flour because I like the taste. I cut the loaves into very thin slices and and freeze them, then eat one or two slices a day. Yes, it is good for the gut but I also make my own sauerkraut and eat Greek live yogurt. It is difficult to know which is most beneficial, but together they seem to suit my digestion.

Yes I have greek yogurt too and love saurkraut and kimchi. Though when I went to Berlin and had their saurkraut wow! just gorgeous I am just a novice.
 
@Brambleberry What does your meter tell you about how that bread affects your bg?
Mine tells me I cannot have anything with flour in, no matter what the starter/other seeds in it.
On the rare occasion I want toast I use a low carb one called Hilo. Other makes are available
