[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bread and pasta in the US make me feel very gross and bloated.  Bread in Europe and the Middle East do not.  I know it’s the flour not the baking process because I bake my own bread.  Something is wrong with our flour.[/quote]

OP here. Interesting. I was just texting with a friend of mine who has celiac disease. She told me that she can eat bread in Europe even though she has celiac. But eating it here makes her very sick.

She thinks there is something wrong with US wheat and flour as well. [/quote]
American wheat is a different strain than those grown in Europe, and it has higher gluten content. Still surprised that someone with celiac can eat European wheat, but I know a lot of people with gluten intolerances can eat wheat in Europe but not the US.

I do also think that the fructose syrup in everything can't be healthy.

There is some hypothesis that the glycosophate (Round Up) used in agriculture can damage gut flora, but this is somewhat controversial.[/quote]

Watch the Dan Barber episode of "Chef's Table" he is obsessed with what is wrong with America's wheat, including the celiac issue. Here's a paper on it too:  http://www.jeannihoul.com/files/116095726.pdf
