Sounds like a gluten intolerance, others are reporting the same
google keyword: "wheat shoulder pain"
[Link Removed, AV picked up a threat]
I would try sprouted bread, I like the 7-grain ezekiel sprinkled with oats. If that results in the same shoulder pain, it would seem prudent to cut wheat bread from one's diet. Probably you can find gluten-free bread made with rice, oats, almonds, potatoes, and/or quinoa at your local supermarket, health food store, or sometimes even at a farmer's market.
I guess I could test that theory by eating some refined gluten and seeing what happens. I'm not sure that'll be it though. The wheat tortillas I eat don't seem to cause any problems for me and aren't gluten free. Strombolis do have much more bread to them, so it could be related to the volume of gluten. Looks like there are foods made entirely of gluten and it contains alot of gliadin (superoxide dismutase, very good for anti aging actually if it survives and there are supplements claiming it can) which I don't have a problem eating or taking as a supplement.
The label of the tortillas that don't cause me any problems list the following details on the label:
Ricas Family Pack Flour Tortillas
No Lard
No Trans Fat
No Cholesterol
No Sugar Added
Made with Unbleached Flour
No Partially Hydrogenated Oils
Ingredients:
Enriched Bleached Flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid), water, veg. shortening (palm oil or corn oil). 2% or less salt, aluminum free leavening, (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, monocalcium phosphate), Wheat protein, preservatives (calcium propionate, sorbic acid), dough conditioner (fumaric acid, gum blend, lecithin, mono and diglycerides, sodium metabisulphite). Allergens: Wheat and Soy
To refine gluten, wheat is stripped of the starch contents. So most wheat save for quinoa is going to be substantially gluten. See ingredients of tortillas that don't bother me below.
I should also say that I make sandwiches with these tortillas using a good light olive oil. I have been known to react badly to certain oils. I'm thinking it has to be something in the oil content of some pizza breads.
