SirJerrie:
Ahh bros...

No evidence?

There's TOO MUCH evidence that shows how dangerous White Bread (refined bread... which is usually what majority of people sell/eat..... Not whole wheat bread, which is a healthier alternative) is to the body

White bread is not bad, it is the addictive they put in that is bad

cutecommend:
If you do regular exercise, any negative impact bread may cause, may not affect you.

GindoX:
Someone finally talk sense.... With exercises, you might not experience some diseases or illnesses or simply just do intermittent fasting.

How cute.

You most likely have celiac disease.
Have a test carried out to check.

JuanDeDios:
I'm gluten intolerant. When I eat gluten (wheat, rye and barley), really really horrible things happen - not the bloating and other discomforts you describe here. These are child's play compared to what I go through.

Now, I was never really a bread person. So I was always most at threat from drinking beer or malt. And the occasional noodle or spaghetti or semovita. But I recently I started eating beans again and since bread is the only thing I really enjoy with beans, I had to find a way. So I now bake my own bread using gluten-free flour.

That's why I made this thread - https://www.nairaland.com/8280972/yay-baked-cassava-bread

I don't make cassava bread anymore though. I've found I prefer other flours, usually a combination of three or four different flours.

Love800:
Yes i can.

I want to be making my own loaf myself without sugar.

Day play, bro.

Removing sugar won't help much. The best remedy is to stop eating it entirely. I decided to stop eating bread and my life has never been the same ever since. Bread is bad, very bad. If you can't stop eating it like me, portion your intake and make sure you don't take more than 3 slices.

What you don't know is that all bread are carbs, and carbs convert to a form of energy called glucose regardless of whether you add sugar or not. Unlike yam, plantains, beans, rice, etc that are carbs, bread is highly processed carbs without fibers. Because of this, your blood sugar shoots to the roof each time you eat bread because of the absence of fibers.

Do you understand the meaning of a pizza dough?

My friend pizza dough IS bread

But Jesus served his disciples bread and wine. Please eat your bread.

haykes:
I dey eat bread at least 3 times in a week bro
Nothing dey happen
Any fake news?


Oga seun I hail o hope I'm good to go

Bread is great and I can tell you for free i doubt if anyone could convince me to do away with it 2 years ago. I started having rashes on my body Jan 2024, I visited the pharmacy and took all medications from federal hospitals to private but most doctors in Nigeria don't know about gluten intolerance or celiac or dermatitis herpetiformis which are chronic reaction to gluten. Gluten will affect your immune system, cause you headaches, brain fog you wouldn't know it's gluten. Stop taking gluten for a while and see how your health will improve dramatically. Eat only natural foods and avoid most grains but rice is ok. You will get better clarity. Avoid pastas, bread anything made from wheat like malt and beer and you will be fine especially if you are married you will notice instantly

I don't know if what I have is Celiac or not. I did carry out a test and it was negative. But, again, for some reasons, I didn't trust the test. Anyway, I'm getting better and better at managing it. I even even found something that works if I mistakenly eat trace amounts of it (after spending tons of cash trying different things).

garri bread ke

Yes.

I have stopped eating bread for the past one year now

They rebranded potassium bromate as oxidizing agent that is what is killing people not gluten per see

I haven't had bread in a very long time now. I switched to egg completely

Can't remember the last time I ate bread. There are some food in this country that I voluntarily stay away from.

For the sake of humanity and health wise .

Even the ones I usually eat are compromised also but weytin man go do.

Mariangeles:
Before nko! Pay biko.
You want to run down her business?
At least, I believe she sells to you at a discount.

After all, if elder brother don't support your business, who will? 😌

Maria and Angela, I know you'll support something like that.

But no be lie sha. I get free baked foods many times especially when her girls are doing practicals. Her cakes remains the best I've tried. And most of her girls almost bake like her.

E remain ya food wey I go chop. You that always threaten us with mouth watering dishes on NL. I no go pay you aswia.

i thought you will switch to something that can be compared to bread. Egg is far from this comparison. Am surprised at your comment.

Good evening.

Already Stopped. For over 2 months now

Onetechnews:
For many of us, bread is not just food. It’s comfort, it’s joy, it’s memory. Think about that first aroma of freshly baked agege bread in the morning; soft, warm, with steam still rising when you break it. Or the way you pair it with beans, butter, or even a bottle of cold Coke. Bread in Nigeria is not just a meal, it’s an experience. It fills the stomach, but more than that, it fills the heart.

But here’s the part we don’t like to talk about: that same bread, those same wheat snacks we crave every day, puff-puff, meat pie, doughnuts, might be the reason some people are constantly in pain without even knowing why.

This is where gluten allergy comes in.

What Exactly is Gluten?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It’s what gives bread its stretch and softness. That chewy feel in meat pie crust or that fluffy pull of agege bread? That’s gluten at work. For many, it’s harmless. But for others, their body treats gluten like an enemy.

When someone with a gluten allergy or intolerance eats food with gluten, their system reacts badly. It’s like their body is saying, “This thing you’re eating is not good for me,” and it fights back.

Signs Your Body May Not Like Gluten

The painful part is, most people keep on eating bread and snacks without realizing their body is giving them warning signs. If you’ve ever noticed these after eating bread or wheat foods, it might not be “ordinary stomach trouble”:

Frequent bloating: that uncomfortable swelling that makes you loosen your belt.

Stomach pain or cramps after eating bread or snacks.

Unexplained tiredness, even when you’ve had enough rest.

Skin rashes or itching that come and go.

Constant headaches you can’t explain.

Diarrhea or constipation that seems to happen regularly.

These are your body’s way of waving a red flag.

The Emotional Battle of Giving Up Wheat

Let’s be honest, it’s not easy. Imagine someone telling you to stop eating bread. For many Nigerians, that’s like taking away a small part of daily joy. It’s not just food — it’s the smell that reminds you of mornings in Lagos, the taste that brings comfort after a stressful day.

But if your health is paying the price, it becomes a tough choice: continue enjoying bread for a few minutes or protect your body for a lifetime.

What You Can Do If You Suspect Gluten Allergy

Pay attention to your body: If you always feel sick after eating bread or wheat-based food, don’t ignore it.

See a doctor: Get tested. Sometimes it’s not just “indigestion,” it could be celiac disease (a severe form of gluten allergy).

Try alternatives: Today, there are gluten-free flours like rice flour, cassava flour, and even oat flour. You can still enjoy snacks, but with healthier options.

Educate yourself: Read food labels. Many packaged foods contain hidden gluten.

Final Thoughts

Food is joy, but health is peace. Bread will always hold a special place in our hearts, but for some people, it may come at too high a cost. If your body keeps crying out after every bite, maybe it’s time to listen.

At the end of the day, no meal should steal your peace or make you live in constant pain. Protect your health, because that’s the true comfort you deserve.
A question for you can you stop eating because you have allergy to it?

Yes, because too much of bread is not good to the system.

Bread is a very dangerous meal

correctguy101:
I fit count the number of times I dey eat bread in a year. Wetin I go dey use that bland thing do. I've eaten different types. But they're almost always useless without adding something else and I no even get their time.

Oh, I like my younger sister bread, but she hardly ever gives me free bread. She expects her elder brother to pay. After all I've done for her.

Very wicked woman., 🤧

The only day that I doesn't eat bread is Sunday.
When we came back from church around 1 pm we eat swallow, eat rice for supper the next day which is Monday we must eat bread at night, no time to cook serious food. My family like bread, even if I decided not to buy it, they have to remind me to buy bread when coming from off.
Even the so called bread is not cheap, I spent 1,800 to buy a loaf of bread, every night minus other things like eggs and tea to eat it

It's like you're a bread person.

it is like the OP is referring to me in this post, if am advice not to eat bread, God knows I won't give heed to such advice.
Because of the sugar things I wanted to switch to weat bread but that thing is not going at all.

I can't stop eating bread cause it's the only cheap thing I can afford for now

You might not want to stop eating it but greatly reduce intake ..

I've got the same issues with beans right now ..

I only take in minute quantity twice a week ..


It's killing...

It’s deeper than just sugar. The whole processing and all those additives in regular bread make it unhealthy too.

Not when its properly baked n not all these agege bread

We do have different types of bread. White, brown, butter, wheat etc. We must buy the bread that is free of Bromate and we must control the portion that we eat. We must not over eat it. Too much of everything is bad.

Me way I can't do without bread
