Thanks for reaching out with your question, Linda! It sounds like you might be referring to naturally leavened sourdough bread, which doesn't require commercial yeast to rise. Sourdough bread is something that is baked all around the world, including in the US. For more details, we'd recommend checking out our Sourdough Baking Guide. We do occasionally hear anecdotes from folks who've shared they're gluten-sensitive but tolerate sourdough bread better than other wheat-based foods. Though this is interesting, sourdough still contains gluten and it's not proven to be a good or safe choice for those who must avoid it. For those that need to exclude gluten from their diet, we recommend getting the direction of a doctor or dietitian before attempting to add it to their diet. We hope this can help clarify!
