Hi, I have been gluten free for 3 weeks...however, I am still experiencing heartburn and other symptoms on occasion. I am wondering if most of you cut out everything but protein and vegs.? Sugar seems to be giving me a hard time too...any thoughts ? paula

Hi Paula,

I can honestly tell you that I was down to just rice and chicken by the time I started on digestive enzymes to help me be able to include other foods. After a few weeks on those (at every meal!) I was able to use them less frequently and then after a month I was able to stop using them. I only use them now when I have a bit of trouble digesting something. I have been gluten-free for 4 months now and I noticed that I have not had heartburn or pain in a while. I do occasionally get a rumbly tummy and still some occasional diarrhea, but I am tummy pain free which is great. :) Hang in there, three weeks it not very long and it takes a while to get your body healed all the way.

God bless,

Mariann

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
