Sourdough bread may soothe tummy troubles for bread-sensitive folks
NCT ID NCT07568223
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether eating a special artisanal bread made with whole wheat flour and sourdough can reduce stomach discomfort in people who usually feel sick after eating regular bread. Forty adults who are intolerant to conventional bread but do not have celiac disease will eat the artisanal bread for 15 days. Researchers will compare their gut symptoms before and after the diet to see if the artisanal bread is better tolerated.
