resistant starch question

slieber

If a product is considered a resistant starch, such as a very high fiber bread, does that mean it is also a complex carbohydrate, rather than a simple one?

Resistant starches take longer to digest, I know, whereas simple starches absorb faster, but in terms of "sugar release" does it also make a difference?

I use Ener-G corn loaf, you see, since I can't have normal wheat-based products. Each slice has 40 cals and 3 grams of fiber. The slices are small, too, to pack such a punch with fiber.

BUT, am I able to use them glycemically, or are they still considered simple, like normal bread?

Thanks for any insight!!
