allergy to wholegrain?

[Star]

hi

years ago when younger i used to love eating brown bread, brown toast etc all of a sudden some yrs back i couldnt eat and have not been able to eat it for like 12 yrs

whenever i used to eat brown bread after eating it, id get terrible sharp pains in my stomach, every time, and id feels ooo ill, get headaches, and feel soo tired. like i was going to pass out.

im just really interested to find out why i cant eat wholegrain and why all of a sudden? and interested to hear other ppl stories thanx

I have a wheat intolerance - in hindsight I've had it forever, and it explains my childhood bloating and lethargicness, and also my chronic IBS when I worked at Greggs and lived on pasties.

Anyway, since I had my baby at 26 I haven't been able to handle it at all. I kept falling asleep after lunch, which, if you're at college, is not good! So as an experiment, I cut it out. That was 5 years ago and I feel really good, no bloating or cramps, nothing.

It takes 3 months to fully wean yourself off, but it's worth it, I promise! I noticed the difference in days. Try oatcakes or ryvita instead!
