I am pissed off about potato bread!
Feb. 12th, 2015 04:16 amI have IBS, and I've been reading into things that can cause problems for IBS sufferers, because I have fairly chronic soft stool and I can't figure out what's doing it, if anything. Anyway, I read recently that wheat products can contribute to IBS problems, so I've been trying to cut down on wheat, by getting stuff like rice noodles, to see if wheat is problem-causing for me.
Well one of those ways I tried was by looking into alternative breads. Things I've seen before and never tried, like potato bread and rye bread. Only, I read the ingredients and what is the first fucking thing listed on potato bread, oat bread, and rye bread? Fucking WHEAT. What the bloody fuck? Why call it potato bread if it isn't made of potato flour? Why call it oat bread if you aren't using oat flour? And how the ever-loving fuck do you legally get away with calling something rye bread when it's mostly wheat???
And then of course, the worst part is that the only breads I could find that didn't have wheat in them are the super-expensive gluten free breads. Who the fuck spends $8 on a loaf of bread if they don't absolutely need it? And why, with all the "gluten free" craze, are these things so expensive? Why are they so expensive to begin with? How fucking hard can it be to make bread out of oat flour, or rye flour, or even rice flour? It's all fucking flour! Why do people accept these blatant rip-offs?
