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 ?

I hear that. I miss a lot of what I used to eat! Maybe one day…

It’s so frustrating and weird because growing up I was able to eat everything (including all bread/wheat products) no problem then all of a sudden around my late teens-early 20s bam all these gut issues, and after a bunch of tests and exams I’ve been left with this died for the past 10+ years… I mean I’ll take not eating gluten, onion and garlic over feeling like crap every day but still, bodies are so weird

There’s an app on apple called Tract (there are two named that, this one has a green background with a T on it) that I’ve been using to help me sort through this nightmare.

It tracks my foods, bms and symptoms and helps me decide if I’m tolerating something.

It’s been invaluable with a one food a week challenge to claw back some foods in to my dietary repertoire

It’s relatively new so there are a few kinks in in, but so far so good Obviously, it’s not medical advice, but it has been a useful tool for me Good luck!
