> Bread is getting a bad name, yet whole civilisations have been founded on it. This bad name is coming along at a time when most of what most people eat is 'processed food' rather than 'real food'.
There's bread and then there is Bread. I can't tolerate "industrial" bread, the kind that stays soft and tender and doesn't get mouldy. It's something to do with the leavening agents they use (yeast or something other).
Basic Scandinavian Rye bread[0] works. Same with the COVID-popularised sourdough. Oat breads are good too.
But if I eat any of the delicious super-soft wheat breads or toasts... Whooo boy, I blow up like a balloon. Don't have celiacs, gluten intolerance or anything like that. For some reason my gut flora can't take some cereals.
There are some anecdotal stories of Americans coming to Europe and suddenly being able to eat bread with no symptoms.
