That's what my husband found out when he (mostly) cut out wheat & sugar from his diet; the gas & constipation went away. It was kind of funny when he went to the doctor a couple weeks ago because of chest pain (he has a history of heart trouble) & the doctor (not his regular one) kept pushing a vegan diet. I had just checked out Wheat Belly from the library & had been reading it before the doctor came into the room. I didn't hide the book & was tempted to hold it up where he couldn't miss seeing it.

Husband just had his stress test today & did quite well, so I'm not exactly concerned about his diet. Except I did tease him a bit when he got a pastry to go with his coffee at the hospital cafeteria.
