[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2409802, member: 532959"] I've noticed a few different things when it comes to bread and bloating: - General hydration levels. If I am dehydrated I tend to bloat easily with grains, especially bread. - Not chewing properly. Carbs/starches start being digested in the mouth, with amylase starting to break things apart. This results in a semi-fluid mass, called chyme. Of course, chewing thoroughly is good practice for all foods. No specific amount of chews, but as close to liquid as one can 'stomach'. - Swallowing air. This is related to the above point, in the sense that it can be the result of eating too quickly. And as with the above, slowing down, and generally being more mindful when eating, can make a great difference. [/QUOTE]
