:lol::unsure:;)

People often ask me "what happens if you have a bit of gluten?" I am never quite able to explain clearly what happens. So today, while I am in the midst of a pretty bad glutening (accidental), I thought I'd write down a good description of what it is like to be glutened. Please feel free to reprint this description on little pamphlets which you can carry with you and handout to people who think that maybe it is just a bit of stomach upset, or nothing much to really worry about.

Imagine taking a watermelon-sized cactus branch that has a rather large hornets nest inside of it. Swallow the branch and hornets nest whole. While that digests, go to the nearest busy intersection and lie down on the road. When you

I got on here today because I'm experiencing my first accidental gluten in several months. I'd say that sums it up pretty well.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      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/
