Toots & Trots / Does it matter?
White bread or soy & linseed bread — does it matter?
The wheat base is similar, so gas load doesn't change much. The linseed seeds are the main variable: they pass through largely intact and add real particle roughage that white bread doesn't have.
Scores use a standard reference serving via the GASP model. Individual tolerance varies.
A small difference — mainly particle load.
If you notice visible roughage or residue in output, White bread is the gentler pick. If you're tolerating both well, it probably doesn't matter.
