One thing I have noticed for myself is when I eat potatoes that are boiled or steamed in the instant pot, I digest them just time. No bloating no constipation. But when I bake a potato or fry one (in coconut oil or beef tallow of course) I get a lot of bloating. Even if they are cooked very well.
The blog post and study that I have linked below seem to indicate that using wet cooking methods seems to reduce their capacity to be presorbed. This might help some folks here digest starch better. For example instead of making tortillas using masa harina, you could made a cornmeal porridge such as ugali, which is commonly eaten in Africa.
It is interesting to note that starch based societies generally use wet cooking methods. Boiling porridge or potatoes. Though bread seems to be an exception here, but bread before it is baked uses a lot of water and is fermented into a sourdough, so there might be more going on.
