Grains

[124chicksinger]

Canadacatman, have you tried something like Metamucil crystals or Benefiber powder that you mix into water and/or foods? Those are commercial products and I'm sure there are other options that can be found in a health food store. Maybe you could try it like a little experiment and see how your body reacts?

Also, while you may already know this, if you click a person's user name there is an option to add them to your ignore list and you'll never see them on your threads again.

Good luck with the fiber.

I never got that far yet. I was reading about Metamucil crystals or Benefiber powder yesterday and am going to get some tomorrow before the stores close to give it a try. See if it is the grains or the fiber. Hope it is just the grains because a cup of brown rice has like 5 grams of fiber and I eat apples and that all day and I think they have like 4 and nothing from them.

Thanks

Thanks

Is he sending you for tests for celiac disease?

I ask because I was tested a couple of years back and I am a celiac.

[canadacatman]

He did not even mention that at all. Is that something you can get just like overnight.

Thanks

Hi, you comment interests me about the oatmeal. I have added grains back into my plan, and over the last few days have been eating Old Fashion Oats (cooked and raw in no bake cookies)and I think they are causing major bloating for me.

Which I am not happy about, so I think I will try the Quick Oats. I only add two servings of grains to my regular plan for right now. And I hope this helps, thanks for the info.

Beans probably would only be good one week in the fridge, but maybe a couple months in the freezer (if sealed up tight).

[canadacatman]

Are quick oats as good for you.

I get bad stomach probems when I eat many types of grains (wheat/gluten is big no for me) and legumes. Fibers from veggies etc have never been a problem tho.

The only difference between quick oats and old fashion oats is the size and thickness of the oat. The quick oats are cut smaller and rolled out thinner so they cook quicker. The nutritional value is the same. Hope that helps!
