Sounds like early constipation that may get worse. Examine your fluid intake: in cold weather people often cut back on fluids or drink more caffeinated warm drinks adding to dehydration and constipation drink 80-100 ounces per day and avoid caffeine/alcohol. Try a suppository or fleet mineral oil enema before it gets worse. Cutting out bread has not contributed to this.
