Is brown rice safe for some one with C? When I started this diet I went back to eating white rice of which I had totally discarded from my diet. I was also eating high fiber breads but I felt horrible on them. I do make Heathers french bread and seem to have no problems with it, but what could you add to it, to make it more wholesome?

Brown rice is fine for C. I eat it all the time. I put a little Acacia on it sometimes, but it usually has no affect on my IBS.

It's false that white bread lacks nutrition. Well, Wonder white bread might. But most white breads are enriched, which means the insoluble fiber husk and all the nutrients have been removed but then everything is put back in the bread except for the insoluble fiber. Of course, IF aids in digestion and keeps you satiated longer, but if all you can eat is white bread, you're still getting your nutrients.

Scott yes it is fortified, but our bodies can metabolize vitamins in food easier than artificial sources. Not to mention they are insulin boosting carbs which will spike your blood sugar making you more hungry for the same types of food.....if you have the choice and can tolerate it have whole grain instead.

I totally agree, Rebecca. We didn't even mention that after they strip the bran/germ, the white flour is bleached, (with potassium bromate or chlorine dioxide) to extend the shelf life. I would prefer not to put that into my body...I don't care how many nutrients are "put back" into the bread.
However, I do understand that some people's bellies just cannot tolerate whole wheat bread. So, why put yourself through that pain just to eat "healthy", which obviously for some people, would not be healthy at all.
It is a dilemma, for sure. I was at one time having a sandwich with one slice of sourdough and one slice of wheat berry. It looked strange but it tasted good, and I got no symptoms. But, lately I have just been steering clear of all wheat.

Guys and gals, let's remember that this poster was just asking if others had a problem with bread...not the nutritional value of white vs wheat!

If you don't eat bread, what do you usually have for lunch? I am so used to having a sandwhich every day....I wouldn't know what else to eat!

Bread never fills me up, and when I make a sandwich, for me it's too many carbs and makes me tired for lunch I usually have 3oz organic chicken breast (i use organic spaghetti sauce as a condiment), about 1/2 c cauliflower, and 5oz baked red potato.....that keeps me full for about 3 hrs when i then have my next "mini-meal".
