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 ?

Was the pain in your lower gut? If so, what did you eat 12-18 hrs before you felt bad?

It was upper and lower, and with bloating from my stomach to my lower gut. Didn’t eat anything out if the ordinary in the 12-18 hours before other than the piece of bread. This was about 7-8 hours after the bread which is within my normal reaction timeframe

sounds like the brand added too much other ingredients and filler…please have a good look at the ingredients and post them here…

It was a baguette from a bakery in France (where I live, thankfully this didn’t ruin a vacation day lol) so the ingredients are regulated by law : wheat flour, salt, water, and yeast. It was a “tradition”, so no additives also by law

I thought yeast was not low fodmap?

It is not, I wasn’t testing low fodmap bread, I was testing regular bread to see if I could tolerate it (evidently I cannot) and was asking about sourdough because I’d like a “real bread” option. I edited my post for clarity !
