Lori, I checked the ingredients on one of Kinnikinnick's rolls and it

does list methylcellulose as one of their ingredients.

I am super allergic to dairy---even tiny amounts give me splitting

headache---so I'm really careful to not eat anything with dairy in it:

even butter.

Actually, I think it's made from wood! I used to work in a library, and

I used methylcellulose to glue labels into books. When you add water to

it, it becomes gelatinous.

I think there's 2 things going on here. One is the weird stuff, like

the gums. I think xanthan gum is made from a mold, isn't it? So it

could be that. The second thing is the fiber. I REALLY have a problem

with high fiber foods, and so many GF breads are made with high fiber

ingredients. When I was eating wheat, I always ate white bread because

whole wheat made me bloated. Beans and nuts are almost indigestible for

me. I love beans, but they come out pretty much the same as they went

in (trying to be subtle here) Fruit induces cramps and dire-rear.

Really, the only thing that doesn't bother me seems to be meat, cooked

vegetables, rice, rice noodles, potatoes, and---oddly enough---white

bread. (but no, I'm not eating it)

No, never heard of them. Do you know the ingredients?
