Too many oats

Does anyone else get an upset stomach if they eat too many oats in 1 day??


Posted by: JLB001

I only eat oats once a day, in the morning and only 1/2 c. Sorry I am no help in that dept.

I have eaten as much as maybe 10(measured before cooking) cups or so in a day. I guess that makes around 20 cups cooked or so along with other food.

Bloat was a problem. I also realized a food intolerance due to the gliadin in them. A lot of people seem to notice the bloat aspect more than anything.

How many large bowls are you talking about Jill? And what are the symptoms. Is it just a 'too much food volume thing?'

Edit: Some of it may be due to the amount and type of fiber. I remember Berardi speaking of oats as having quite a strong satiety signal compared to other grains/foods. Bulk forming is the idea.

It never stopped me from eating as much as my stomach could physically hold though. I never got that 'sick' type feeling you get when you consume say 2 large jars of peanut butter in one sitting. See what I am getting at?

it just may be TOO much food at once. depending how much your eating. by the time that you add water, etc it expands even more in your tummy
I dont have a prob really?


Posted by: Jill

Yesterday I ate about 2 cups dry and some whole wheat pasta.(through out the day) I was bloated yes, and my tummy did hurt. This has happend from just eating oats and not pasta before.

allergy perhaps.
Im allergic to wheat/gluten/maltodextrin.. so I cant have breads.
have you always felt this way after eating oats? even small amounts of oats?
ever had your allergys tested?


Posted by: Jill

Not small amount of oats-just seems like if i eat too much. God, if im allergic to oats what will I eat???


Posted by: atherjen

I think that its just from eatting TOO many at once Jill. they will tend to bloat you a lil if eating in larger amounts as said becasue they expand more in your tummy.
mmmm I love oats

Posted by: donescobar2000

I eat oats all day. My main carb source. I eat them straight out the package. No water no heating. Yum!


Posted by: Jill

Isnt that dry dones?


Posted by: donescobar2000

Yea.


Posted by: Jill

So why not cook em in water?


Posted by: donescobar2000

I like them dry. They taste better to me that way.


Posted by: Jill

Oh. Do you put anything on them at all?

Jill many people are allergic to wheat. I'm glad I'm not one of them. It could be the WW pasta that is hurting your stomach because you could be allergic to wheat.

I love oats too!

What else has wheat in it? Just so i can compare.


Posted by: calalily1972

WW bread, ww tortillas - but alot of times those are not pure WW. There really is no way to compare unless you eat something else that is pure WW. Oats have never bothered you before and you don't eat WW pasta often so that is why I took a guess that it could be the pasta.

If you are truly allergic to wheat gluten, you would most likely know it! There would be no question. Trace amounts can set many people off with an allergic reaction lasting weeks. A gluten free diet is recommended. Gluten is found in darn near everything it seems!

Many people however have an intolerance to gluten or to the prolamins in oatmeal for example that is dose dependent.

I would surmise that is more people consumed truly large amounts of whole wheat pasta/oats for example, such intolerances would manifest themselves much more frequently.

From your posts, I doubt there is anything serious to worry about. Common symptoms to look out for with intolerances include herpetiformis dermititis and other skin irritations along with more typical allergic responses.

It could just be the darn gas from the fiber causing the trouble.

I too would think adding whole wheat pasta on top of the oats would exascerbate the issue to some extent, especially if you are not a 'voluminous' food eater as it seems you are not.

I don't even know what kind of symptoms come with wheat or grain allergies but I know many people have it. It think its called Cealic Disease (sp?) or something like that. Don't know what it is for sure.

I do know some grains I can digest better than others though. I found Papaya enzymes have helped ALOT with bloating and discomfort from whole grains.


Posted by: Jill

I think Im gonna get some papaya enzymes, my mama takes em too. I was really bloated yesterday, thats for sure!


Posted by: plouffe

Them Papaya supps I eat like freakin candy. They taste so goooood.


Posted by: atherjen

Jill- dont get the chewable payaya enzymes!!! they contain dextrose. just like candy.. get the powdered caps.

I know


Posted by: atherjen

YES!!! take them back!! dextrose=corn sugar! a BIG NO NO in your diet!!


Posted by: Jill

K. I already ate a few. Oh well, it wont kill me!


Posted by: Premo55

I can eat a kilo of oats at one go, I bet. I ate three cups measured before cooking in one sitting once. As far as fiber goes, I'm pretty much bloated all day, my fiber intake is off the wall.

Peace.


Posted by: greekblondechic

Yep, its the fiber

Fiber absorbs water and expands even more after you eat it! The solution to this is DRINK MORE WATER
I have to buy the capsule enzymes, cuz like Jen said chewables have dextrose..
I know, Im a hypocrite, I dont want to drink anything when my tummy hurts


Posted by: Premo55

DOnes, you eat dry oats? Damn. How do you eat them? Dry with no liquid with a spoon? They do taste pretty good raw, though, you can definitely taste the distinct 'oat-ness' in them. I have them a cup of dry oats in my PWO shake.

Peace.


Posted by: greekblondechic

its funny how they taste good plain raw, but cook them and they taste icky and need to be flavored/sweetened


Posted by: Mudge

I've had oatmeal 4 times a day sometimes when I am lazy to cook rice, no problems with stomach upset yet.


Posted by: greekblondechic

you also eat more than jilly does! ur a guy w/ a bigger stomach!


Posted by: donescobar2000

I live off oats too. I am sooooo lazy.
