I routinely used to eat an oat based breakfast, and would then feel as though my blood pressure and energy levels were seesawing around for the rest of the morning. Turns out I have celiac disease with sensitivity to the protein in oats.
Dropping this here in case anyone else has a mysterious and unpleasant reaction to oats.
- Sverigevader 8mo agoWait, I don't understand. I thought oatmeal was gluten free, but because of where it's grown and processed, there's a lot of cross contamination with wheat. I buy gluten free oats because of this. https://celiac.org/gluten-free-oats-whats-the-deal/ https://celiac.org/gluten-free-oats-whats-the-deal/
- dtj1123 8mo agoThat's why I specified the protein found in oats, which is similar to but different from gluten.

- ndsipa_pomu 8mo agoI'm somewhat gluten sensitive (tends to make my psoriasis flare up) but used to have gluten-free oats for breakfast. Then the porridge seemed to increase my uric acid levels, leading to gout attacks, so I've had to stop eating them (oats are usually classified as mid-level purine content and thus should be only eaten once or twice a week for those prone to gout).
