I have discovered over the last 2 or 3 years that wheat causes problems in my gut, colitis, etc. The doctor did a blood test for gluten sensitivity and I came out negative according to the test BUT if I eat something made out of wheat more than once a week................ I am very sorry that I did.

Whole wheat bread or Store bread that has been processed into a brown slime, then
back into something that looks like bread? I don't eat processed bread since
I learned how to make my own. Store bought gives me indigestion and really
messes with my weight. Making my own has no bad effects.

I'd noticed that problem too until I started drinking a probiotic called keifer.

It made perfect sense. Our bodies require bacteria to fully process food, but between our over processed diets, sterilizing our environments, and taking antibiotics as a standard treatment, these beneficial bacteria are either killed off outright or not staying as plentiful as they should.

Replenishing them with probiotics was a smart choice...for me anyway. Watching carbs is one thing, but days of misery vs. no biscuits, cake or pizza.....EVER?

Just shoot me now! :-)

Haven't been tested - would be interesting.

My own experimenting tells me gluten hurts my guts, etc, too.

Its a trade off. Give up some foods that make my stomach unhappy or eat foods I really, really like but have negative reaction when I eat them.
