Quote: The evidence does back up the wheat and gluten theory though, I mean, try this little experiment to see what happens when you put bread inside your body: Take a slice of white bread and place it in a bowl of water. Very quickly the bread expands to a size a fair bit bigger than that of the original slice. This is what happens when its inside your stomach, it expands and and causes bloating.
This statement is incorrect. This is simply the absorption of water by the bread. Many carbohydrates including IF from grains and fruits absorb water and swell when placed in water.
The absorption of water by bread has nothing to do with bloating.
