This occurs in an increasing number of people, and a growing group notices that they feel better when they eat less or no bread. Do you regularly experience digestive complaints? As a trial, you can leave bread, grain products and other gluten-containing products out of your diet for a month. If certain complaints have decreased afterwards, you can conclude that your digestive complaints and eating bread are related.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<div class=\"wpex-alert wpex-alert-info\"><span class=\"thin-font\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-12874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4.-vegetables-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"high-fibre diet with vegetables\" width=\"213\" height=\"120\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4.-vegetables-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4.-vegetables-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4.-vegetables.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/>Limit starch and feel fitter<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"thin-font\"><span class=\"thin-font\"><span class=\"thin-font\">Digestive complaints and eating bread may be related, and if you frequently experience digestive complaints it can be useful to leave out grain products and, for example, choose a low-starch diet.

By limiting starch in the diet, you can lose weight more easily and remove a number of important allergens from your diet.

bread contains a lot of starch<br \/>\nWhen you think about digestive complaints and bread, eating starch-rich products is also often the cause of complaints such as fatigue, a bloated abdomen and flatulence<\/li>\n<li>Bread and starch can promote the growth of Candida or intestinal parasites<br \/>\nPeople who are infected with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/en\/conditions\/intestinal-parasites\/\">intestinal parasites<\/a> or have high numbers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/en\/conditions\/candida-yeasts-and-fungi\/\">Candida<\/a> in the intestine may develop complaints similar to those caused by starch-rich foods. The reason is that these organisms cause fermentation and gas formation.<\/li>\n<li>Overweight<br \/>\nPeople who are overweight often eat too many starch-rich products. Digestive complaints and bread then go hand in hand in causing additional gas formation and changing the gut flora.<\/li>\n<li>Hay fever from grass pollen; wheat and also spelt, oats and rice are grasses<br \/>\nHay fever is, of course, an allergic reaction to grass pollen. People who have a grass pollen allergy also do not tolerate grains well. Just as they probably do not tolerate wheat and rye, they may also not tolerate maize and rice.<\/li>\n<li>A wheat allergy (IgE allergy to omega-5 gliadin)<br \/>\nIgE can be formed against omega-5 gliadins. Wheat then causes digestive complaints and allergic symptoms, while eating spelt bread does not (spelt does contain gluten). If you become tired quickly when running and exercising, it is conceivable that a wheat allergy is the cause.<\/li>\n<li>Gluten intolerance; there are several reasons for not tolerating gluten:\n<ul>\n<li>Coeliac disease, gluten intolerance (alpha-gliadin) associated with IgA<br \/>\nIf you do not tolerate bread or gluten, there is a 4% chance that the cause is coeliac disease. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/en\/conditions\/gluten-intolerance-celiac-disease\/\">Coeliac disease<\/a> is a disease caused by eating gluten in people who have a gluten intolerance. Gluten is a protein present in wheat and related grains such as rye, barley, spelt and kamut.<\/li>\n<li>Gluten hypersensitivity<\/li>\n<li>Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity associated with IgG<\/li>\n<li>Allergy to gluten, particularly an allergy to glutenin<br \/>\nDigestive complaints caused by bread can also occur in people who have a gluten allergy: ten percent of people have an allergy to wheat or other grains. Eating gluten-free bread is therefore not always a solution. The existence of a true allergy to gluten has only recently been demonstrated. IgE plays a role in allergies; it is a very new finding showing that people can be allergic to the gluten fraction glutenin. Gluten is a complex mixture of gliadin and glutenin proteins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h2>More information about the tests<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Starch &#8211; Determination of the starch content in the stool &#8211; read more&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Antigliadin and anti-ht-Transglutaminase \u2013 Markers for gluten intolerance \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/en\/conditions\/gluten-intolerance-celiac-disease\/\">read more\u2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Yeasts and fungi &#8211; Testing for the presence of Candida albicans, among others &#8211; read more&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Parasites &#8211; Testing for infections with intestinal parasites &#8211; read more&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">About Darmklachten.nl<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1617007411960{margin-top: 16px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]Darmklachten.nl is an initiative of MGlab&amp;Advies, a laboratory specialising in stool testing. &#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/en\/about-us\/\">read more<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-46036 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MGLAB-LOGO-TEKST-2022-300x59.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"59\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MGLAB-LOGO-TEKST-2022-300x59.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MGLAB-LOGO-TEKST-2022-600x119.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.darmklachten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/MGLAB-LOGO-TEKST-2022.jpg 637w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row el_id=&#8221;Maagpijn-misselijkheid&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1617007416560{margin-top: 16px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] What you should know about eating bread in relation to digestive complaints Did you know that eating bread and consuming other grains and grain products can cause digestive complaints?
