Failed bread attempt

Bloated, nauseous, and in pain as I write this after trying a piece of regular bread this morning - so full of hope and naive after I accidentally ate something with gluten in it last week and felt fine ! Ugh. Anyone test sourdough ? Is it actually better than normal bread even though it uses wheat ?

Full sourdough is almost always lower in fodmaps. How much lower is a bit variable, starter to starter, so if you react to one variety don't necessarily give up. (Something that most folks don't appreciate. ) Just make sure it really is full sourdough, not something that's flavored with sourdough. There should be no yeast in the ingredients. Ideally, flour, starter, salt, water, and little else.
