Gluten free rye bread is an oxymoron. The three kinds of gluten grains are wheat, rye and barley. Therefore no bread containing rye is gluten-free.
I see you live in Greece. Maybe you can get buckwheat bread where you live.
When I was in Germany last summer I ate buckwheat (Buchweizen) bread that looked and tasted just like pumpernickel bread (black bread in Germany). But they won't export it to America, and refuse to ship it to me here in Canada.

.......ok....new here I still do not know many things!!!!! I really liked rye bread, but it's ok! Actually I do not know if there is buckwheat bread like the one you described in greece so I'll just have to search for it... Unfortunatelly it seems like I don't have a good doctor....She told me to eat dinkel (spelt) rye bread (I guess you know it) and all the symptoms came back. And then I found out it's not gluten-free...All other breads I've tasted are so awfull tasting.....
Thanx for the response

Spelt is also not gluten free. Spelt is a derivative of wheat.

Isn't it awful that we get false information from doctors, of all people? You would think they are better informed than that.
You are right, almost all gluten-free breads are disgusting. It is better to live without bread than eating that stuff.
I like corn tortillas and tacos, you can do so much with them.
Mamaw, I wished I would live closer to you, I would love to try that bread!

Tell me about doctors!!!! I informed my doctor about a wierd eczema on my FACE (really ugly..) after eating dinkel and she told me not to worry...It is psychological.....(???)...Any way, no bread no problems and no disgusting tastes!!!! I definately will try those tortijas you are talking about

Hi . they will ship to you plus they have other things also. It certainly isn't the real deal but I've learned to adapt !!!!!!
I used to love grilled cheese on rye & a couple big dill pickle slices on the side....
