Wheat...breads, pasta (large field of players there, like doughnuts noodles spaghetti). Oatmeal is a different grain, but it has gluten in it as well. Gluten is the thing to track. Some folks just can't digest it, and I think if a large survey was done, blood type Os are many of the group. We found some really great enzymes at this website...http://www.candidasupport.org/compare_candida_products.html?gclid=CMypucfAso0CFSVtYAodRC3lxQ Its also where we ordered the stuff for the candida cleanse we're on. Expensive up front, but if you're looking down the road for a cleaner state of health, and less to worry about, not so expensive. I think its worth it just to eliminate what ISN'T the cause of the problem you're chasing. Sometimes knowing what it isn't is just as valuable a piece of information. (Assuming the candida problem isn't in your particular problem recipe) I troubleshoot electronics all day. Probe and assess, learn how it works, and try to figure out what isn't playing. It bleeds through into everything I do. Our metabolisms were stuck hard, but in the last 5 weeks we've both dropped 9 pounds. We probably weren't digesting what we ate, and now already we've noticed we aren't as hungry and we tend to eat less. I just got back from the Farmer's Market, whoa I could eat my weight in those grapes!

For a good substitute for grains with gluten, the South American grains don't have it! Quinoa Amaranth are great substitutes for corn meal, Spelt,and Kamut, are made into reasonably tasting breads. We found a Spelt organic tortilla at Whole foods that tasted like a regular flour tortilla. It was Great! foodsubs.com This site has more to add on the subject. I have found lately that if I stay with organic breads, (including wheat sourdough) I don't go into the phlegm response. So, maybe chemicals are playing a part in this mystery.
