All those bagels made of white bread a couple of weeks ago, in addition to non-whole-wheat noodles, gunked me up in my head and throat. Finally got back to normal. Then Saturday morning we had French toast with the last of the white bread, and Saturday evening we ate buns that were only 1/3 whole wheat and the rest white. And then last night at a potluck I ate enough brownies to compensate for the political discussion around the table. Now I'm coughing and stuffy.
Dang it. I think I'm slowly learning the lesson that I simply cannot do white flour anymore. It stinks getting old. Good-bye, donuts. Farewell, yummy cookies. Boo-hoo and whine-whine.

That's funny. When I do eat wheat flour...white is good, whole wheat would destroy me. Isn't it weird how strange our bodies can be???
ReplyDeleteI have issues with flour too. Eating too much of it knots up my stomach and causes raging heartburn. I believe that many people have some level of gluten intolerance, but very few are aware of it, and most of those who are aware are not willing to give it up. It's easier to pop a pill or Tums to cover over the symptoms.
ReplyDeleteI can't handle much gluten anything anymore. If it's incidental to the meal, like a little flour used as thickening in a stew, I'm fine. But pasta, bread, all baked goods, even whole wheat ones - no good. Not even with a very comprehensive enzyme taken along with the meal.
ReplyDeleteI made brownies from the recipe in the Penske's catalog this weekend they were very light and cakelike, even though I used WW flour-couldn't even tell.
