Let’s be real: a lot of “wheat bread” is ultra-processed junk. They add dough conditioners, preservatives, and soybean oil to make it shelf-stable for a decade. Those additives are pro-inflammatory monsters in tiny packages.
Your best bet? Find a bakery that uses real flour, water, salt, and yeast. Or, get wild and make your own! It’s messy, it’s fun, and your house smells like a hug. Plus, you know exactly what’s in it—no mystery ingredients.
Another pro tip: sprouted grain bread (like Ezekiel) is often even more anti-inflammatory. They sprout the grains first, which ups the nutrients and reduces antinutrients that can irritate some guts. It’s like bread, but with a health degree.
