I have come to the realisation that bread and pastry ain't my friends and limiting them really does benefit me.
I had incredible back pain earlier this week and not feeling sluggish because of bread made recovery a lot quicker.
I'll still dabble occasionally but yeah I've had enough of feeling shit.
If you can be fucked with specifics there's the FODMAP routine to test dietary intolerances but it's a bit of a drag, moreso if you're eating with the family.
Nah I can't be fucked. I've done my own experiments. For some reason toast doesn't bother me but "raw" bread does. I feel on top of the world when I don't eat much of it.
I know it's not the butter because I slather that on toast. Pizza makes me feel shit almost immediately and the next day too.
It could be the yeast. Also fresh bakery bread doesn't really bother me either but I am limiting that too.
Commercial yeast is a trigger for my gut. Its used because it's cheap and gives consistent results, not because its good for you. I do make my own sourdough, and can cope with using normal white bread flour for that, and I've found that I can tolerate a little bit of the commercial white stuff if I preload in the day with some sourdough.
Yes. Yes!!!
If you get a piece of bread or bread roll and rip the crust off and squeeze it into a ball it's almost dough again. That's going in my gut and that's why I feel shit and sluggish.
This.
Fodmap diets do suck. I restricted so many things and am still in pain. That said I’m a bit of a special case, there are plenty of things an otherwise normal person can still have.
All breads? There's always pumpernickel!!!
I like rye bread but you can fuck off with your pumpernickel.
Hahaha
Dark sourdough rye?
I'd eat that.
I think Aldi does a version.
yeah, I'm reducing bread too, even home made bread
I've been experimenting with spelt flour, doing a 50/50 with white wheat flour and it's not bad.
We've got this 👍
