Default Carbalose Flour

Has anyone ever tried to bake bread using Carbalose Flour? It's a flour
that is treated with certain enzymes so most of the carbs are not
digestible. I tried to bake a bread with it but it came out too dense
and heavy.

Has anyone used it successfully?


I tried it to make pancakes once. Okay but unimpressive. It was the
Atkins flour substitute so probably not exactly the same product.

I am extremely dubious of claims like "treated with certain enzymes so
most of the carbs are not digestible". It makes me think of those
noodles that kicked so many out of ketosis. Cool sounding claims that
aren't true when a lot of folks try the product. If it's made from a
mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber wouldn't they say so?
