Bad poo and bread

DS is 22month and we stopped giving him wholemeal bread because his poo was very wet, green and mucusy afterwards. I got his poo tested just incase he had an infection but all clear, and friends suggested wholemeal bread was just too much fibre. Now weeks later he's had the same reaction to white bread, which he has eaten in the past ok. He eats pasta and things like weetabix which he doesn't react to so I'm not sure why only bread does this? Can he be gluten intolerant?

I have a similar reaction. I am yeast intolerant. I would avoid bread and see if he gets a reaction to anything else.

never crossed my mind it could be yeast. Can you have yeast in small amounts? I ask because DS eats an abundance of breadsticks with yeast with no ill effects.

I heard about tomato sensitivity recently - crazy! As for DS it happens quite markedly when he has bread, which isn't that often as he's not keen on sandwiches. I have racked my brain to think of any other foodstuffs eaten around the same time. He has soya from time to time in various products, and dairy everyday so I don't think it is that. The strange thing is he used to have white bread toast quite often about 6 months ago and never had this reaction, it seemed to have started when I gave him wholemeal bread a couple of months ago, and now white bread has the same effect. Racking my brain......
