I am wondering if anyone else has issues with oats, and only oats. I very rarely have heartburn of any sort but when I have oats, it is like hell on earth. The heartburn lasts for days and is unbearable (it took me a while to figure out that it was oats).
It happens from anything containing any type of oat product: oats, oat fiber, oat flour, anything...
I can consume any other type of grain with no sign or symptom of a problem. I don't get indigestion, rashes, headaches, or anything; just unrelenting heartburn.
Antacids do absolutely nothing. The only cure is benedryl.
My doctor just told me never to eat oats but that is too simplistic a response; I'd like to know what is wrong with me... or why my body is rejecting the oats (or perhaps some protein, etc. in oats).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.View Thread
