IS SOURDOUGH BREAD GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH A SENSITIVE STOMACH? A REVIEW BY NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS

Expert opinion from Kelsey Masso

Sourdough bread may be good for people with a sensitive stomach because it is lower in gluten than other types of bread. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Some people are sensitive to gluten and may experience symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea when they eat foods that contain it. Sourdough bread is made with a starter culture that breaks down the gluten, making it easier to digest. If you have a sensitive stomach, you may want to try sourdough bread instead of other types of bread. Be sure to check the label to make sure the bread is truly gluten-free.

For those living with celiac’s disease, sourdough bread is not recommended since it does contain gluten. However, for those living with irritable bowel syndrome and experience gastrointestinal symptoms (such as gluten intolerance or sensitivity) when consuming foods with fructans (oligo- and polysaccharides), a type of carbohydrate, sourdough may result in less severe symptoms due to its lower levels of fructans.
