Cheryl - no use of asking doctor LOL - I can bet you a 100 $ that he never even heard about Carrageenan ! If you want to know about it go on the net and do your own reserch.
Lecia - it is very possible that soy could effected your period - heavy periods are sign of estrogen dominance !!! So, if you already had high estrogen /progesterone ratio , than adding extra estrogen definitely can effect your balance
The problem is that soy is now added to EVERYTHING - look at the labels of prepack food . So, we are eating it ANYWAY knowing it or not and adding extra on the top of it all can really effect our body !!!

Cheryl says bread is stool thickening food.I eat whole meal bread almost everyday for breakfast.Should i eat cereal instead?

Maybe you could try alternating it? I do better with cereal than I do with bread though they are both grain products. If you aren't having any problems though I wouldn't worry about it, Pinky.

I do believe my stools have gotten smaller since I swapped over from wheat to oats.

There are a lot of fillers in breads that don't exist in whole grain oatmeal. I would like to get into making my own bread. It would probably be tastier, cheaper (in the long run), and healthier.

Aha bread – You know Pinky I battle with bread :roll:
Wholemeal brown I find is dry and heavy !
I go for multigrain, linseed and oats that is a good one but watch those seeds ! I alternate bread one day then none the next never eat more than 2 slices !
You need a good bowl of porridge for breakfast Pinky , best start to the day !

Maybe i should eat less bread.My mom would tell me bread is too dry but i didnt listen to her.nowadays my stools are more formed and sometimes its a bit hard.maybe bread is the culprit.i thought its wholegrain and high in fibre,so should be good for soft stools.
i dont like oats much.how about weetabix?its so tasteless.

Barley is another good grain (can be added to soups), and there is also millet and quinoa. I make a quinoa bread and also a banana bread.

Weetabix is just as good Pinky Try it and see i think it would help :)
I go for a light texture bread there are so many to choose from now :roll:
