Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: What to use for peanut butter and mayo

Hi - White bread is wheat bread - it's just not WHOLE wheat bread. I use the term white bread just to be clear. If I say wheat bread a lot of people take that to mean whole wheat bread.

I've never seen whey in bread - that's odd. Are you looking at fresh baked varieties from local bakeries instead of pre-packaged types?

Whole wheat bread is more nutritious than white, because it contains the bran and germ. These have minerals in them, but unfortunately they're also high insoluble fiber and that can trigger attacks. This is true for every whole wheat food - it's always going to be more nutritious than something made with refined (white) wheat flour, but it's also always going to be a potential trigger. Whole grains like oatmeal and brown rice and rye are more tolerable for most people than whole wheat.

Best,
Heather
