Bread is not bad

The only bad thing I find about white bread is that it tastes so good... I HAVE to stay away from it. Ive been known to demolish a whole loaf of white bread with a pot of marmite. :embarassed:

am i the only person who has no idea what marmite is?

Food porn.

Enjoy.... I'm just not into that.

I like my bread soft and moist (like for PBJ)... unless I'm putting meat on it, then it's Italian with sesame seeds.... all the way.

I should make some and add some heap hearts too!

Sorry, I should have caveated, assuming no gluten sensitivity, which would be a problem with wheat bread and not just white.

For a normal person with a perfectly normal digestive track, bread and other carbs are fine.

For someone with digestive disorders, like myself, bread and other carbs such as potatoes, rice, rye, etc... can cause problems.

But yes, to each his/her own.

Would you mind elaborating a little more? I am having some serious digestive problems and so far have it tracked to wheat and dairy. I rarely eat potatoes b/c I am allergic to them in their raw state (Think hives and rash just from peeling them) and therefore don't feel I should eat them either. I don't feel well after eating rice quite often either. Was this something that you discovered via trial and error or with help from an allergist, nutritionist, or other healthcare professional? I've been through a whole battery of tests with no answers and getting sooo frustrated!

It sounds like you have an immune disorder of some sort. Have you gone to a gastroenterologist? Have you had a colonoscopy/biopsy? I was diagnosed with crohn's disease at a young age and have gone through phases of "my body can eat this" and "my body cannot eat this". Everything became a gamble and still is...

Among the Crohn's and Colitis community, a lot of people try to stick to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/) . It ties closely to a paleo/primal diet but revolves around the notion that certain foods trigger TNF factors inside the digestive track. Look into it, give it a shot for 30 days... see if that helps. If you smoke, quit. If you drink, cut back.

Good luck to you! I hope you figure it out!

The invention of industrialized roller mills in the late 19th century changed what we got from grains. Milling strips away the bran and germ, making the grain easier to chew, easier to digest, and easier to keep without refrigeration (the healthy oils in the germ can turn rancid, giving the grain an off taste). Processing also pulverizes the endosperm, turning it from a small, solid nugget into millions of minuscule particles.

Refining wheat creates fluffy flour that makes light, airy breads and pastries. But there’s a nutritional price to be paid for refined grains. The process strips away more than half of wheat’s B vitamins, 90 percent of the vitamin E, and virtually all of the fiber. It also makes the starch easily accessible to the body’s starch-digesting enzymes.

A growing body of research shows that returning to whole grains and other less-processed sources of carbohydrates and cutting back on refined grains improves health in myriad ways.

Bread IS bad. It gave my bank account number to a "Nigerian prince". He wasn't a Nigerian prince at all!

It has little nutritional benefit because it has been bleached and then " enriched" when they add some of the good things back to it. It is easily converted to sugar and if you,re Insulin resistant,diabetic gluten intolerant , among other things it can cause issues.
