Everett Carroll Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Not me. Doesn't sound good though. Avoid them and consider asking a dietician about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Serven Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The internet is an amazing place! I mean would you ever walk into a room and lead with this question? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Coppola Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 @Everett Carroll I stopped eating them as soon as I was experiencing the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Coppola Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 @Jeff Serven Lol, I'm a very simple and honest man. If I have a question I will ask it no matter what the subject matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Coppola Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 And yes, I would ask this question to a stranger on the street without any hesitation. That's how I roll 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johanna Van Genderen Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Do you happen to make your oats with milk? If so, it might be the milk rather than the oats that cause the problem. And you are right, if something doesn't agree with you, stop eating it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I try to avoid milk as much as possible because it creates a build up of mucus for me. An interesting thing has happened recently though, I started eating rolled oats and my nose was fine afterwards. I'm not sure how this is possible. I can't remember if I ate quick oats before.

Frankincensed Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Oats are less allergenic then many grains. It's possible there was a contaminant? And if they are the powdery type that stuff can migrate and perhaps is irritating you. Have you tried the steel cut or scotch oats? Less powdery. Oats are hard to beat for the nutrition/cost so hopefully you can use them again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Kiely Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Ha! Much respect for the brevity of the question. Must be and Eagle (DOPE personality type). I have the same reaction to quick oats but not as much to the less processed ones. Check out the FODmap diet, it has a bunch of possible allergens that can cause IBS listed.

For the past couple of months I've been eating rolled oats and honey and so far not as much sneezing and stomach problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Serven Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Or you could go see the Dr. get some blood work and test. Get some concrete data then take action or randomly cut out foods aka FODmap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Harper Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Fascinating. I've only ever had the slightly loose stool effect. Nothing more. I also metabolise oats super fast and feel almost shaky with hunger an hour afterwards which counters the general consensus that "a bowl o' porridge'll fill ya up". I've never figured it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever tried adding some more ingredients? Nuts, seeds, dried or fresh fruit like in Muesli recipes?! "Bircher Muesli" was created to nurture the sick back to health. In the old days before there were such things as quick oats, whole rolled oats were soaked in water and lemon juice over night to make them easy to digest. Mixed with grated apple (grandma's remedy for kids with gas etc.) and some off the above ingredients it's the perfect breakfast. I eat oats every morning adding some coconut or flaxseed oil, mixed nuts, chia/flax or hempseeds, dried cranberries or raisins and occasionally banana or apple slices.

I never have oats plain and often have ground oats rather than quick or processed oats and I have a plethora of different seeds, fruit and yoghurt etc with it. I feel it's something about the nature of oats, they just metabolise so fast for me compared to say, quinoa, rice or another grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
