Sorry I know this may sound silly, but I was at the farmers market today with my toddler and met this girl who was also "trying" to be grain-free. So we talked for a while and promised to get together/keep in touch. I'm glad I found someone to commiserate with locally! LOL

I forgot to add that while I was there, the smell of popcorn was overpowering and so stupid me, I had popcorn and I'm now paying for it with cramps and heartburn!

before i ever ever ever went on Atkins... then Bloodtype... then for sure 100% gluten free... i ALWAYS !! my WHOLE LIFE!! was in SEVERE PAIN after eating Popcorn!!!! ALWAYS... it was AWFUL... but i would still try it again at the movies cause it tasted so good- i guess i always just had this "martyr" syndrome.. or "selfpunishing" thing- like "what is wrong with me, why cant I handle popcorn"... instead of just not eating it and saving my body the pain.

i DO cheat with Rice/Corn flour tortilla chips... or corn in my gluten free bread... but i NEVER do popcorn- so much pain!

I signed up for a gluten free cooking class and hope that enough people signed up for it so it isn't cancelled. I want to meet someone local that is going through the same thing I am.

No one that I know fully understands what I'm going through. A friend tells me she can't handle gluten but every time we are together she is eating something glutenous. She also bakes a lot of sweet breads with wheat flour.

She admits she feels better when she doesn't eat gluten but that doesn't stop her. Either she just has a gluten sensitivity or she's doing a lot of damage to her body that she'll later regret.

      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/
