Is modern wheat destroying our gastrointestinal tract?

I had pasta and immediately felt very bloated. Later I noticed some blood in my stool, I have IBS but I never feel this way when I eat anything else but starchy, grainy food. Is it true that modern grains differ from what our ancestors ate?

Wheat intolerance is a real thing despite the hate. The current theory is that it has something to do with the way we process wheat in the modern era.

I'm ready to drop wheat completely in my diet because it's really causing me discomfort but, as you point out, people think it's a meme and doctors won't give a damn unless you manifest clear signs of celiac disease. Because of this I've been skeptical and in denial myself. My doctor even said that food has no bearing on IBS health. Modern doctors are have dropped all common sense in favor of the mindset that only drugs work

Just drop it for a month, see how you feel, then slowly add it back in. If you start to feel worse, permanently drop it from your diet.

I will, thank you for the advice. I seem to tolerate, or at least not manifest some of the symptoms, rice but bread and pasta makes me feel bloated. Is there a difference between rice and pasta?

That isn't the grain, that's the iron added to it.

It's not just you. I can't eat modern strains of wheat either. The symptoms start out like yours, but if I keep eating it for weeks, it progresses to the point I'm severely constipated, constantly fatigued, and even experiencing bouts of severe abdominal pain. If I kept eating it for months, I'd gain weight and be completely unable to get it back off me.
On the other hand I can eat an older version of wheat called 'spelt' all the time and have no problems, and I can eat some other grains that contain gluten and have no problems.

Anon, doctors can't force you to eat anything you don't want to eat. You could give up all grains and it's none of their damn business.
Try excluding wheat entirely from your diet for a month or two and see if you're doing better.
When I stopped eating it years ago, it was about six weeks before I noticed a significant change.
Just be aware that you'll have to obsessively examine food ingredient labels to be sure you're not eating it by accident. It's in everything.

Rice has no gluten. Pasta and bread definitely do.

There is celiacs disease and wheat sensitivity.

If you have a disease like IBS that opens the cillia in your gut it allows a cocktail of proteins into your sensitive crypt cells. So you won't notice it as much if your stomach doesn't get enflamed but would likely sensitize the crap out of you if you ate the gluten to feel like crap.

I actually have heard from people who tolerated the wheat in Europe, but not the wheat in the USA. Maybe it's the additives, or a different strain of wheat, or the preparation, but yeah, it's interesting that it's not as simple as all wheat is bad.

I've suspected that it might be the way modern wheat is raised.
I eat Spelt, but that's not 'factory farmed' the way common modern wheat is raised, and it might have something to do with it.
I haven't been brave enough to experiment with 'organcally grown' modern wheat. If I'm wrong it'll be weeks of feeling like absolute crap.

Does sourdough make any difference for you? There's a guy who sours his wheat bread for a month, and claims even the most sensitive Celiacs can tolerate it.

wheat used to be predigested into sourdough bread. It's not about modern or ancient being healthier, it's whole grains and eating grains in general. Even bleached flour is healthier than whole grains.
