    That's the problem with dodgy "scientific" claims, fear mongering books and all the rubbish that gets churned out about various categories of food. It leads to genuinely experienced phenomena being grouped in with the imaginary bollocks, and the dismissed by people who don't experience it.

    A lot of people do get gastric issues after bread consumption. I'm not sure why though I'm sure there are some reputable studies into it somewhere. I doubt that its a conspiracy by the wheat industry though. I for one get awful cramps if I have more than a couple of slices of bread, and then I spend the rest of the night farting like a navvy.

    I am 55. I love, love, love bread, cereal, pasta - anything wheat - had to cut all that stuff out in order to lose weight as I found absinence a whole lot easier than moderation. Weight loss happened, but the REALLY good thing was that the hot flashes stopped altogether within a couple of days. Now, anything with wheat triggers a day following of hot flashes. No more wheat for me and I've found that I don't miss it at all.

    @ Whierd: Why the sarcasm? Just say it if you disagree, but you don't have to insinuate that the people posting here need to *kitten* and get it out of their systems. :frown:

    For those of you with ''sensitivity" you may want to try Ezekial Bread. It is extremely dense and makes great toast.

    Also, Ezekial breads are recommended for people watching their carb intake, however, it *also* jacks up my blood sugar :grumble: Not happy about it but I"m firmly in the NO GRAINS camp.:blushing:

    Sorry for you. While I don't really enjoy it much, at times, it is better than nothing. For many of us, it is tolerable, and some folks, even really like it. Like the true "addict" I am, I want soft and squishy:wink:

    Hey, all you bread haters!!!

    Send me ALL of your leftover/uneaten breads, pasta, and rice IMMEDIATELY. I don't have a gluten allergy (or any other medical issue) and therefore show love to all foods available out there for me to eat, including the ones that attract water molecules in the system and scare people into thinking they are getting fatter when they are not (i.e. carbs). So, to stop further waste of bread, pasta, and rice, just send them all to me so I can stock my cupboard and you can go on reading your Wheat Belly dribble and we'll all be happier people.

    Lucky you. Really. And self-satisfaction looks amazingly good on you.

    I never thought I was sensitive to bread (although white bread would always give me a pretty bad heartburn...since I was in my teens really) but I cut down on my bread consumption since watching what I eat and had a single white roll the other day - half an hour later I could feel getting bloated like a balloon, not had that in a while.

    The only thing I had that night apart from the bread was a small glass of diet coke, so I'm not 100% sure whether it was the bread or the soda, but I'll experiment a little more.

    is it possible it could be the yeast which is the problem not the wheat. Just a thought.

    all the very best
