The only decent gluten free bread is warburtons gluten free tiger loaf, but it’s about £4 per (small) loaf.
M&S gluten free is probably the next best, all others are rank.
My youngest is gluten free so we have tried everything

Haha, didn’t see this post. Spot on!
Rye bread. Very dense, great with the eggs, especially if you toast it.

our bread maker has a timer on it and we try to have it ready for when we get up. that said the smell in the house is enough to get me up
Might help if you tell us why you've given up white bread? What's the issue?
I know you didn’t ask me but I’m gonna bore you all with it
I was having trouble with my blood sugars, few tests for diabetes and always suffering with extremely low blood sugars, sweating and being light headed
I don’t eat till around 9.30 and would start with a sandwich, then same at 12, the bread basically overloads your stomach with gluten and your insulin spikes to counter the starch and glucose, this leaves you tired like a slug after eating then your blood sugars crash at around 3.30. By 5 o’clock I was a mess and needed sugar to raise my blood sugars quick
Now my pack up is just cooked meat, fruit, tomatoes and sometimes a cereal bar, I drink about a litre of water on the way to work. No more low blood sugars, energy levels improve, feel great, the only downside is in winter it’s hard to keep warm on a morning with nothing in your stomach but it’s fine just man up
I still eat the odd bit of bread just not 4 -6 slices a day

Humans aren't meant to eat carbs in any great quantity or purity.
I don't know about your gluten issue but this graph explains pretty much everything about why eating lots of carbs in a day causes lots of problematic issues including hunger pangs. High carb meals equals insulin spikes as your body responds to the high glucoe. Eat more fat and you'll find you're less hungry.

I stopped eating white bread about 5 years ago, I still eat bought bread occasionally but mostly make my own. Granary flour and a bit of rye or spelt, not too much or it can go like lead. I use the Kenwood mostly, I know the recipe by heart and just fit the timing around whatever else I'm doing. Use the fridge to slow down proving or a warm spot to speed it up.

Another vote for wraps
Try sour dough bread. You can be trendy like me then!
It’s just flour and a starter (fermented flour) to make it rise, instead of dried yeast and all the other stuff that goes in commercial bread. It’s a slower process, and is good for your gut. Easy to make too! It can be any style of bread as it’s the starter that defines it.
You can try yogurt knitting after that.....
Just bloat after it and feel lathergic
Is it just bread that makes u feel that way. Gluten in tolerance here so bread I eat is very l in mited and only one brand rest tastes like nothing. Not much to replace it really unless u change diet completely, I also don't manage eggs or dairy that well either anymore so diet is changing again for me

OH avoids bread he has left overs from prev night, mixed salads of tinned fish (loads of sardines), cheese, butternut cubes roasted, beetroot, etc. When little here I make a huge frittata you can add huge amounts of food incl 3 eggs - cooked peas, chicken, cheese etc.
Even cold cooked cabbage works within a salad.

Work out a diet with very little bread, sugar or potatoes. It's actually quite difficult. I do 5 and 2. winter 5 days eat carbs as normal 2 days low carbs weight stays the same. Summer 5 low carbs, weekend all manner of crap and lose weight.
My mother used to clean the drawer (map drawer?) in the french dresser and fill it with a pot of porridge. Drizzle a little bit of clear honey on top and run a fork over to spread it. As it sets cut into blocks. Good nutritious energy bars. Complex carbohydrate so keeps you warm for longer.
lunch most days is salad and herring. In summer 5 days it is a ham and tomato sandwich without the bread. Ie only the ham and tomatoes. If mid afternoon you feel ravenous eat a small lump of cheese.

I've been eating lower carb for about a year now, never ever hungry. Eat very little bread now, one slice of toast at brekkie and that's about it. Had some sandwiches on Sunday dinnertime and felt bloated and horrible for 36 hours after. No intolerances here just my body appreciates not having to deal with large slugs of starchy carbs. I used to like a sandwich too, give me a plate of fat any day now.
I was the same, one daughter is definitely celiac, and I wondered if I might be gluten intolerant; would feel like crap after a lot of bread, all jowly and bloated feeling.
We have only been eating home made sourdough bread for about 6 months, and it doesn't have the same effect on me at all, feel fine; although to be honest we are probably eating less of it too.
I think it may be as much to do with the yeast as much as anything.
cant beat a nice chip butty with tomato sauce on it
