My stomach makes no freaking sense

alias_sqbrI have a lot of food intolerances and stuff, they can be tricky to keep track of and figure out. And sometimes they make no sense
For example: sometimes I feel crappy after eating too many carbs. I had long had a niggling suspicion that it might be a gluten thing, since bread is worse than rice. But I went off gluten and felt terrible, and have since realised that I feel crappy if I go too long without eating bread (in a different way to when I eat too much bread). I decided this was a yeast thing since pancakes don't cut it and vegemite tends to help.
Cutting out soy and dairy leaves me with very few options for bread, pretty much the only commercial ones are certain pita breads and crumpets. Except lately my stomach has rebelled if I try to eat pita bread. (Even toasted. My stomach has always rebelled against untoasted pita bread)
So I've been making my own. Yesterday I screwed a batch up (not enough sugar, ingredients too cold) and it didn't rise much, and my stomach rebelled against that too.
"Hmm." I thought to myself "It must be a yeast thing again, I wonder if the yeast reaction changes the chemicals".
But today my stomach told me in no uncertain terms that the one sort of "bread" it would be ok with was crumpets. And they don't contain yeast! They're basically just pancakes! THIS MAKES NO SENSE.
On the plus side it gave me an excuse to eat crumpets for lunch :D
