I have heard of this before. I don't suffer from it but perhaps its something to do with the yeast or gluten or flour. I had a friend years ago who could only eat rye bread.

Cubbie, do you not have a gluten intolerance?
There are many products available that are gluten free.

My sister in law also bloats when she eats bread. I really think it must be the yeast, as she can eat most other pastries too.....

Cubbie, I have this problem with bread. I get dreadful heatburn and feel really yucky. The only bread which doesn't do it to me is Hovis - white (believe it or not) which doesn't have any preservatives or additives in it. So if, like me, you enjoy a lekker sarnie now and then, have a bash at Hovis.

It could be yeast intolerance or maybe even wheat intolerance...
I found these links which might help:

Cubbie I think the great factor in this is the IBS, I also get bloated and have problems when I eat bread. I only eat malted wholewheat bread now and that seems to have eased things a lot.
There are certain foods with IBS that we are told to stay away from, white bread, dairy, caffeine & spicy food cause the biggest problems.
There's no place like home.............
