However, when you chew them very fine before swallowing, there’s a much lower chance of it happening allowing for it to properly break down in your stomach. Also, cooking them so that they are completely soft gets rid of the problem.
White Flour
It literally acts like glue inside your colon. Just imagine that old-school, white Elmer’s glue you used in school in a tube.
