A lot of breads made at wal-mart started to make me feel not so good so I started to wonder if I had a gluten problem but I noticed I could eat bagels that list gluten right on the description without these symptoms

I also noticed I could eat bread from elsewhere without these symptoms

I realized there is something wrong with the wal-mart breads I was eating

I seem to have this problem with certain breads that tend to be poor in taste & high in fiber but not tasty whole grains

@shortstories yeah, I'm wondering if it's the low-carb keto friendly bread I started eating. They're basically artificially infused with additional fiber, and maybe the artificial fiber fucked me up.

@Tfmonkey

Multiple sources that suggest a higher fiber diet then what they claimed most Americans eat I read or heard said to increase fiber gradually or you may get discomfort or health problems if you are trying to increase fiber consumption

These are white looking breads that are higher in protein per calories than the other white bread but lower in fiber per protein or cal than whole grain

I found these easier to digest and I would not be surprised if they had more gluten per calorie

@Tfmonkey

Challah, French Peasant, Indian Flat Bread, Italian or French Bread and Bagels you can get at trader Joe's I found very easy to digest

These were all higher in protein than the cheaper white bread usually providing about 3 or 4 grams of protein per 80 to 120 calories

As opposed to 1 to 2 grams of protein per 80 to 120 Calories that some other white bread might provide

If my memory serves me correctly

@Tfmonkey @shortstories stupid expensive keto hot dog buns

@Scubbie @Tfmonkey

Anything that says wheat on it that does not say Organic or non-gmo might be genetically engineered if you are in the USA

In other countries it has to say maybe USDA organic to meet the USA standards for organic

Here is a list of all the food ingredients that could potentially be Genetically modified if they do not say Organic or Non-GMO

The list is very short when it comes to plants

Animals can have mRNA vaccines and still be labeled as Organic

@Tfmonkey @shortstories My brother in christ, that isn't bread, that's an unholy and nutritionally sparse amalgamation of artificial and denatured ingredients and seed oils; goyslop. Everything you ever admitted to eating fits this description. Real bread is just water, flour and yeast. Real alternative 'bread' just replaces the wheat flour with another and some kind of emulsifier. Please eat real food. :ablobcatnodmeltcry-0:

@pk33 @Tfmonkey @shortstories Please add a pinch salt to that ingredient list. No salt makes for a very sad type of bread 😔

@pk33 @shortstories @Tfmonkey Wheat is evil. The Bob's Redmill 1:1 ain't great for you, but it's not terrible for weekend treats. Target is $9.79 for the big bag.

In line, I've kept this video since it changed my life in 2012. Post1970s-Wheat-is-Evil.

@commandlinekid @shortstories @Tfmonkey Wheat was the most abundant food of the peasant class for a large portion of the world for a long time and as a result it is found in or with almost all traditional non-bugman food. You cannot avoid if you want to experience that. But yeah, the unfermented modern GMO'ed strains are quite bad. I had a go at buckwheat bread last week and that turned out pretty swell.

@pk33 @shortstories @Tfmonkey

Modern wheat is worse than GMO. It's not GMO, it's hybridized. It's really evil. It's not "your grandparents' wheat."

@commandlinekid @shortstories @Tfmonkey yeah I didn't mean GMO in the official sense. They also mutate seeds with toxic chamicals and radiation. Chemical and radiation mutagenesis. The end result is the same, a strain of wheat that's more resistant (to your gut).
