Eating Oatmeal and/or Ezekiel Bread cause me to pass OUT.

Seriously, does this happen on the reg? Am I a Diabetic? Am I just fat? i just ate Quinoa and Brown Rice and vegetables, totaling like 100+ carbs I think, and I'm fine. So now I'm convinced it is something something Gluten/Wheat something something. Anyone else have these crazy reactions to such "wholesome" food? I mean it's in the food pyramid so what the hell, right?

    Would need a little more info. How were you feeling when you passed out? just generally speaking if you are ill enough to pass out and have diabetes, you are most likely not going to wake up without medical intervention.

    I basically just fall asleep, then wake up with massive energy supplies. If I eat two slices of Ezekiel bread I will straight go Narcolepsy. I am talking "Walking Dead"

    While neither of these are gluten free and both should be avoided if you have celiac's, neither are believed to have enough gluten to affect people with an intolerance.

    lmao.

    maybe get tested for celiacs even if the gluten levels aren't really that high? if you're eating lots of other things with gluten in them, it might be a compound effect?

    Carb overload, you get a sugar rush and then crash. Gluten issues will make you have cramps, bloating, diarrhea, horrible gas, not go to sleep.

    So is the certain type of carb/wheat gluten magic potion that is ruining me? Like I said, I just had well over 100 grams of carbs from rice, quinoa and veggies and I am absolutely fine.

    Is that even a word? What is "trollsome"? I am still groggy from this morning, I want to know if anyone else has this issue.

    Sexism is awesome. On a side note, my father has noticed he is having the same issue (thus being why I clicked it)
    I feel like its gotta be something with the sugar. He gets this when he eats oatmeal or cereal for breakfast. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it is SO much sugar and it's all you've had to eat so far. Try oatmeal with less sugar in it and see if that helps.

    I dont use sugar nor do I use milk. Just rolled oats and water. I also have a protein shake and flax oil to help with the whole "glycemic" issue....Thus, to no avail, for here, I am

    I agree with this mostly. I dunno. It's the whites that ALWAYS get me. Any kind of white bread will knock me out in five minutes. Rice Krispie treats do it, hot chocolate...(which isn't white, but the sugar). I don't know. I just try to stay as far away from them as possible.

    ah, okay. well. never mind then. Maybe, like another person said, its just carb over load. Just eating too much. But, I'm not sure. that is odd.

    I have heard stories of a wheat intolerance that is becoming more and more common but I have no hard evidence or credible sources. All I know is, wheat anything and I am out!!!! It's like Nyquil man, or quaaludes man.

    Is GASP an acronym?

    I had that reaction to total cereal that in combination with the vitamins I ended up in the ER for 6 hours. the reason was because I was in an out of consciousness the reaction was so bad that all the people could see where the whites of my eyes and also the hives from my allergy. I stay away from total and as far as vitamins I get those from my food or take a flintstone. that is the only kind I can take that doesn't effect me like that.

    Why does it matter if it's in the pyramid or happens to anyone else?? Don't eat foods that make you pass out. Geez man, use a little common sense.

    If it was just the one time, no worries...you probably just needed a nap.

    As with all diagnoses, look for a pattern. After an episode of feeling lightheaded (dare I say..faint?...lol), write down what you ate, what time, and how long the dizziness/lethargy/coma lasted. Review your journal at the end of, say, two weeks. See a pattern? If so, see your doctor....and take your journal with you.

    I have never heard of falling asleep being a celiac sign, but that doesn't mean it's not. There are a lot of weird reactions. I would go strict gluten free for a week, and keep a detailed journal of how you feel.
