I first noticed this when I reintroduced wheat into my diet to see if I still reacted to gluten.
When I found I no longer got acne or diarrhea from consuming gluten, I began to consume a small amount of whole wheat a few times a week, usually in the form of flatbread/tortillas.
I noticed significantly reduced belly bloat in addition to complete BMs that did not require wiping.
I get much of the same benefits with oats, but oats are more bulking and absorb more water and thus more bloating.
Wheat is by no means a perfect food, and I’m not going as far as to say you should be eating whole grains. But with enough Glycine, Vitamin E and calcium, those who suffer from bloating should give wheat a try.
I believe most of the benefit is from the insoluble fiber.
In addition, as far as plants go, wheat has a fair amount of nutrition.
Btw, I avoided wheat for about 4 years. So it took only 4 years of healing the gut to be able to consume wheat again. Like milk, being unable to process wheat is a sign something is seriously wrong with your digestion. I just want to everyone to know the good news is that you don’t have to abstain from wheat for the rest of your life, only until your health improves.
