So I’ve been doing tests on myself to see what makes me bloated and feel inflamed. It’s starch. But a certain kind of starch.
My belly is my litmus test. Not scientific but a good way ( for me) as to what causes bloating and inflamation.
It’s not sugar or fruit. I ate fruit ice pops all day long. And plain fruit. Didn’t bloat me and I didn’t gain any weight. Belly stayed quite nomal and flat.
Then I discovered a very big culprit. Popcorn. I had some coconut oil popcorn thinking that might be better (for some reason) but bad idea. Bloated pretty much soon after I ate it.
And tortilla chips. Yep. Big bloating.
And bread.
Surprisingly, oat bran doesn’t bloat me.
Cereals with wheat in them do.
There’s definitely something to that “wheat belly”.
I haven’t eaten plain potatoes so I don’t know if that is a bloat inducer. That will be the next test.
But the biggest culprits are 1) corn
2) tortilla chips
3) wheat
Can others attest to this?
I feel so much better when I don’t eat these things and no bloating. I wonder if a factor is that corn and wheat are heavily GMO’d.
