Last night I made a quick (gluten-free) pasta mix dinner from a well known brand (made in dedicated facility etc) and two hours later was sicker than anything, felt like I had been glutened. The gut pain was so severe. This morning I reread all of the ingredients again and noted that the only thing in it that I have not had before was shelled hemp seed. Has anyone had problems with hemp seed? I am not familiar with it so not sure if that is what set me off or not. The pasta mix was really good and I have been eyeing the leftovers in the fridge but ...... am thinking twice about having any!!! Maybe the hemp is harder to digest or ???

I think (please correct me if I am wrong guys) hemp seeds (shelled or hulled) are high in fiber and can cause GI issues. I know I have that problem with them, I bloat and get really painful GI symptoms. I think a healthy "movement" or two might help.

Sorry your feeling icky. I hope it passes soon.

Thank you!!! Sounds like you are right. I knew it was high in protien but didn't know about the high fiber. The gas/bloating - thought I was dying!! Whew!!!
