Could oats do it?

[Lesley]

This morning I could NOT face meat and potatoes for breakfast AGAIN! Since I am least reactive to oats I decided to try oatmeal (yes, it's gluten free). I am only starting to get some GERD now. I wonder if the oats did it? If so, welcome to my menu, oats. Glad of that!

OTOH, I am NOT managing to have a BM, Norman or otherwise. I can feel pressure and discomfort, but nothing is happening.
(Oh, s**t! I was out to buy meat and potatoes (surprise!) and meant to buy Milk of Magnesia and forgot!)

And either the fall on Sunday did more damage than I realized, or babysitting for a friend did it, but I seem to have done something to my lumbar spine. Isn't the sacral spine enough for these demons?
I don't want to take a Norco because of the C, but I don't think I am going to be able to avoid it for much longer.

Lesley - I don't know for sure, of course, whether oats could do it, but I do know that a lot of people, myself included, can't tolerate oats, even if they are GF. Sorry for the bad news. :( It's really a trial and error thing, isn't it?

Hope you're feeling better soon,
Elizabeth

On my enterolab results I was found to be least reactive to oats. I didn't know what else to do, since the pain was SO bad, and after days and days on potatoes and meat I was not getting any better. We will see tomorrow what happens. If it doesn't agree with me It will be ditched. I am not getting better doing without EVERYTHING, so I need to try something different.
I am not eating anything to which I have been found highly reactive.
