A member asked:
Can eating moldy bread cause gastrointestinal problems a year later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: Generally moldy bread has growth of a fungus like penicillium. Almost all such organisms will be eliminated by stomach acid and digestive enzymes, and a year later will have been gone almost a year. Gastrointestinal problems can result from a wide variety of illnesses. See a doctor if this keeps up. Hope you are better.
