Hi, please read Diabetes Solution by Dr Richard Bernstein, you likely have gastrporesis or a paralysed stomach due to years of high blood sugars.

As you like bread, you won't like this, but I would suggest you ask to be tested for coeliac disease. I had to go on a high gluten diet before my gastroscopy and started having discomfort after spicy food. I've been Type 1 for 38 years but didn't know we had an above average chance of getting CD.

Go to your Dr's and get tested, why put up with it any longer if it's causing you discomfort?

If your gp can't find the cause they will refer you over to a Gastroenterologist at your local hospital. Good luck.
