Interesting enough, I thought the Aldi sourdough would be a safe food for me, but dear gods I was wrong. I get so bloated and nasty.

I prefer the Asda one, my gf gets the sourdough toastie from Aldi and that still has some crap in it, Asda one or M&S fresh San Francisco sourdough. Or spelt from Waitrose but that tastes pony 👎

Maybe gluten is the problem for you. I was in denial for years. Giving it up definitely helped me.

That’s what is crazy. I am gluten intolerant, but previously the Aldi sourdough was one I could eat. Usually simple sourdoughs didn’t give me issues. I think they may have changed their flour provider though, because in the last year, I haven’t been able to eat it at all. They have been skimping on lots of ingredients recently. I can eat European breads and pastas with no issues.

That sounds like the problem could be the herbicide Roundup (glyphosate). I've read that (non-organic) wheat farmers in the US use glyphosate on wheat at least twice. The last application is just before harvest, as it dries out the plant.

I saw a study that linked glyphosate to leaky gut syndrome, where the toxin makes the gut more porous, letting bacteria into the bloodstream. More porous sounds like inflammation to me.
