@Robinredbreast that bread sounds really nice but where the heck do I find xantham gum!? I've definitely never came across that when shopping xx

Look in the free from section of any super market

As the header says... Is it low carb? What actually is it? I'm assuming i read something somewhere and bought a packet of the stuff, forgot about it and found in the cupboard tonight... Tried googling n it's just telling me where I can buy it from! If it's all good, what am I using it for please? x

It's used on cricket bats Oh and fed to horses to improve condition and give them a nice shiny coat, you have to boil it though as poisonous to them. http://www.equi-therapy.net/equi-therapy/equine-nutrition/linseed-horse.shtml

They are really expensive in some stores, the likes of Lidl & Aldi are very cheap for buying seeds.

Yep, buying all these ingredients is far more expensive than making a 'normal loaf of bread' but if we want to eat it we have to pay. ps I might be cheeky and ask my GP for some of the ingredients on prescription
lol.
