2 Responses to “Why do some wheat products give me heartburn and others not?”
That’s a good question, surely if you were allergic to wheat then you would react to ALL the foods that contain it. . . . . . According to Dr. James Breneman, past president of the American College of Allergists, persistent heartburn from a particular food is a reliable symptom of allergy to that food. Food allergies stimulate histamine release, which stimulates stomach-acid secretion. Most common offenders are cow’s-milk products, wheat, eggs, corn, beef, soy, and some citrus fruits. . . . . Something i did notice about the examples you listed of wheat pasta and tortillas not giving u heartburn but wheat bread almost always does. . . . . . . bread has yeast to help it rise but pasta and tortillas don’t. . . . . . maybe the foods that give you heartburn have an ingredient in common other than the wheat. . . . . . or maybe they are processed in a different way. . . . which could explain why not ALL wheat containing foods cause a problem ; ]
