If you put the words "bowling ball" in the search box several blogs come up. It's something that I see time and time again mentioned. Tammy

I'm having very uncomfortable bloating as well. I stopped eating the spelt bread yesterday and I think it is improving. The shop spelt bread I buy claims to be no yeast but when I phoned the bakery to ask how does the bread rise into a normal loaf shape they admitted they use a 'starter' which contains yeast so it is low yeast rather than no yeast. I think this might be the reason for my bloating.

Toreyg, I stopped eating the spelt wheat to see if it made any difference to the bloating and it has really helped!I think I must be wheat intolerant. Why don't u try giving it up to see if it helps? I noticed a vast improvement after only a couple of days. It's hard without bread but I've replaced it with rice pancakes (can give u the recipe if u like). I think Nicole said she buys rice bread - I've not found any here in UK but I guess ur in USA so u might be able to buy it. I also eat rice pasta instead of spelt pasta. I would say my bloating is about 80% better.

i actually cant eat gluten at the moment so the only grains i eat are potatoes and brown rice. i think im just so bloated b/c of my bowels trying to regulate and causing lots of gas.  when i have a bowel movement it seems to go down.
