Nicole was just explaining how ingredient lists can be vague and you might not be getting the healthy grains in your food. Her example was wheat bread. She wasn't saying to feed chins bread, just mentioning that if an ingredient list doesn't specifically say "whole grain wheat", then it's probably overly-processed wheat that's been so highly processed, it's no longer a complex carbohydrate... it's now a simple carbohydrate that is converted immediately to sugar when ingested.

So, no, chins shouldn't have bread. Also, IMO, the burnt toast method for diarrhea isn't even that effective. It is much more effective to just open up a capsule of activated charcoal.
 
I also think burnt toast is a waste of time, I give Kaolin Pectin and have never had to pull pellets, it clears up simple digestive upset in a day or so. I used to use the activated charcoal, it worked also but one morning I must have been too sleepy and dropped a 1 lb container on the bathroom floor and it "exploded", black powder EVERYWERE, and it took a couple of hours to clean the white bathroom.
