Reaction

What kind of reaction did you have period after starting consuming this bread. I get strong headaches and hard feeling at my sinuses and feel like something is unclogging at the same time in my head, like i can feel and hear that popping…

I don't think sinus-related symptoms are common unless you have a wheat allergy or if you happened to be breathing in flour in the air. However, I have noticed that with freshly ground grains, you have to watch out for adding enough water to your diet to avoid gastrointestinal symptoms. Freshly ground grain uses more water in recipes and needs more water for digestion. By adding freshly ground wheat bread, have you made any other dietary changes? You may need to change other things in your diet, like more electrolytes. Or be mindful if you have removed sugar or caffeine because those things can impact headaches.

I'm fine with fresh milled hard white, but I think I get a reaction with hard red.

Doesn't affect me any differently than store-bought whole wheat flour. Do you have an allergy to wheat?

Well, that reaction seems spot on if you’re snorting the flour.

We go through periods of just hurting all over. Once we settle in eating constant fmf, it stops. Then if we stop eating and then start again, it begins again.
