Just for information sake, when one says they gave up white flour products, doughnuts, most cakes, and most cookies are made from white flour.
So anyone who has problems with gas or diarrhea from white flour products, would have problems with most doughnuts, cakes and cookies.

Yes, I have basically given up white flour because of the gas (nope, I don't suffer from diarrhea), but I still partake of the goodies,  just not EVERY DAY and NOT 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time, and NOT 1/2 package or even a whole package of cookies at a time, and certainly NOT a HUGE piece of cake like before.  If I want these things then I make sure to either have a smaller portion, or if I want to eat a larger amount then I make sure I know I'll be at home so the gas isn't a problem for anyone elseAnd since I completed a round of Flagyl a couple of weeks ago, even the gas is nil.  And definitely much less than when I was pre-op!

Take it you're still stinging from the other day.  It's ok, it'll go away soon.

Your issues are basically the same as any who have a shorter common channel. White flour products cause most of us to have gas, and for some diarrhea.
I doubt most people give them up entirely, instead place limits, such as you say in this post that you've done.
I am one who can learn, and I try to learn something every day. It's cause for enjoyment, not pain.
