Most oats sold in the US are contaminated with wheat, and make

a lot of gluten-intolerant folks nauseated. McCannes might be

ok, it is for some people, but virtually every other batch

tested has measurable contamination. Soaking doesn't help,

if you are gluten sensitive. Problems digesting fats are typical

gluten problems.

The " nausea " is a typical food reaction -- so is cold hands and

feet and " chills " , and usually I will feel insanely hungry all the next day, no

matter what I eat. I think THAT is from cortisol ... you stress

out the body from the allergic reaction and that causes more

cortisol the next day and then you can't utilize your own fat

stores so you feel starved.

Enzymes with meals can help with that. So does the infamous Warrior

Diet, in my experience. Problems digesting fats are often low

stomach acid or low enzymes. I think since I switched to only one

fatty meal a day, there is more time for the bile to accumulate in

the gall bladder, so when I eat there is plenty of bile to digest

the fat. Anyway, I had a mess of good greasy tacos the other night

NOT fried in coconut oil and they went down just fine without

enzymes or wine, which is a first!

I also eat some carbs in the evening, which fills me up and then I'm

not hungry constantly. But broths and good soups work well too.
