Sudden Intolerance To Oats

[srall]

This weekend, well actually Christmas day I started having terrible nausea and C, brain fog, you know the usual oh crap I have been glutened symptoms. I thought it was the bacon my husband bought but I looked it up and it claims to be gluten free. The only other thing I can pinpoint is oats. I've successfully eaten oats and oat flour since going gluten free in March, but now the nausea hit right after I ate a bowl of oatmeal and then later in the day when I ate a muffin (that I had made from scratch) that was made from oat flour. I've stopped the oats and I'll test them in a couple of weeks, but I'm just wondering if this can pop up all of the sudden after months of being okay with them. (BTW, they are Bob's Red Mill gluten free.)

Could be the amount of oats you ate in a day. I tolerate rice extremely well but if I eat too much within so many hours, I gets slightly symptoms of being glutened. I think sometimes we can only tolerate so much grain in a close period of time. I'm noticing this with myself too. I do best to eat mostly meat & green veggie, and save the starches (even the gluten-free ones) to add to the other things - like a side dish - vs. the main meal.

I feel for you!

Yes you can develop a intolerence to oats. The first time I tried them, bobs gluten free oats, (7 mo. after going gluten free) I had a bad reaction of reflux, belly pain/bloating, constipation and a painful blistering rash on my bottom that lasted almost a week. Then a little over a year gluten free I started having symptoms of abd pain, reflux and diarrhea. Went to the doctor several time and tried many things. Finaly by Aug. of this year I decided to eliminate gluten free processed things since I thought this might be the problem. I almost excusively used Bob Red Mill products and I think I was getting low levels of cc from the gluten free oats that slowly built up over time. For some celiacs oats can cause the same symptoms and damage in the body as wheat, barley and rye. It took about three months of taking creon and eating very clean, but now I am almost better. I have reintroduced some gluten free products that don't process any gluten free oats and have been tolerating them fine.

I found that if I ate gluten-free oats too many days in a row I would have a reaction. I was having oatmeal, or yogurt with granola daily for breakfast. That was too much. After a few days without, I could tolerate it again. I do know some cannot eat oats, though. Hope that helps!
