Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks! I have been avoiding all grains for now except rice. I have been eating some rice though not a lot. I felt good the first few days but now I feel awful, stomach flu like symptoms today and yesterday reminded me of some of the bad IBD days before I figured out that corn syrup was bad (and that I am allergic to it!). Today I am nauseated. =( I've had a few wheat free oatmeal baby crackers that I buy for my son. Is oatmeal bad also right now? Last night I was sure was going to start the vomiting marathon I had the last time I detoxed. That was 7 hours of misery! Puking every 7 minutes or so and in so much pain all I could do was lay there between. Definitely don't want to go through that again! Would taking anything that can absorb toxins help?? I know my body is wrecked. One thing though my thyroid doesn't hurt today which is a first in i can't remember how long!

Avoid the oatmeal until you've been GF at least 6 months to a year, then challenge it with a certified GF oat. They could very well be contributing to your misery right now.
