Odd Side Effect...

I have noticed over the last week or so I have had a problem biting my nails again...I used to do this as a child but outgrew it. Now today I even caught myself with my ink pen in my mouth...I am a total germaphobe, I NEVER do that. Is this something weird going on? I was getting so excited about my nails growing out strong and healthy, and then it was like before I even realized it they were gone...Which is a totally disgusting habit anyway, but something that I haven't done since I was a child.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Think back to how you used to feel as a child at the time you were biting your nails. Were you going through a stressful time? Were there conflicts in your life? It could just simply be a reversion to a behavior that got you through something when you were young, and you are using it now to get you through the adjustment of eating gluten free, which is not an easy one.

I agree. stressing over something? :unsure:

I guess I never thought of it that way....I don't really feel all that stressed about the new diet, I have really embraced it and find that I eat much healthier, and have been losing weight. That makes me happy, but there is some truth to that I think....Thanks for making me think!

      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/
