    My experience is that wheat bread or 7 grain bread, any high fiber breads cause bloat than the refined more processed white flour breads. I think it has to do with the heavier coarser grains having to spend more time in the digestive track. It seems to be mor work for the body to digest the unprocessed coarse grain than refined processed flour in baked goods. I don't know why everybody thinks heavy grains ar good for digestive bloat and constipation. :*

    Maybe also try switching to an lower calorie whole grain bread? 220 calories is a lot just to eat bread. I can have a whole sandwich with meat, cheese and mayo for your two bread slices.

    It's 110 calories per slice...pretty low calorie as bread goes.

    OP...I'd wager that your roll is larger and more calories than your two slices of wheat bread. There's not a tremendous difference between white and whole grain bread save for one has more fiber...

    My 100% whole wheat breads are 60 calories per slice. A lot of people mention they also like the Sara Lee and nature's harvest breads that are as low as 40 calories per slice.
