intolerant. Been eating muffins at night and my intestines are at war. I have it in my family. This is not good.

1. I'm not sure, but I might, too.

I first noticed that oats got my bowels in an uproar about 20 years ago, but in the last few years, it seems like too much of any grain but rice does it to me. Small amounts are okay, but even white bread bothers me now if I eat too much of it.

2. I believe oats are gluten free - but they do get cross-contaminated. So, do be careful. n/t

3. Sounds like I have two different issues going on then.

Oats have been a problem for a long time, but other grains didn't seem to bother me until fairly recently. Ah, well.

10. You should get tested. My brother was

an undiagnosed celiac and he developed type one diabetes overnight. Not being on a gluten free diet when you should be can knock 15 years off your life. I'm totally going gluten free until I. get tested.

4. You can get a test for celiac disease

5. ^^ This

Get tested. Don't self-diagnose with Dr. Google. If you're believe that you may have a medical condition, consult an actual doctor.

It might be gluten intolerance, or it might be something more serious. You don't want to guess wrong.

6. Same here.

Gave up gluten 6 weeks ago and it's made a huge difference. No more stomach pain!

7. I tested negative for celiacs, but it runs in my family...

so my doctor said that doesn't mean much.

9. I have been grain free for a while. No grains whatsoever. Let me know if you'd like some links

to some truly great recipe blogs.

Using coconut flour and almond flour you can make some great muffins, brownies, baked donuts, quick bread, pancakes.
