I have posted similar to this, but the oat bran has the same effect on me that particularly bread and pasta have, I do get stomach cramps, bloating and then diarrhoea. I was surprised that such a small amount of oat bran would have this effect (I have been very low carb for a year before starting dukan), so I stopped having it the last two days and feel much better. Are you guys ok with bread etc usually?

Apparently it is ok to skip it if there are problems but the weight loss might slower. Considering the effect it has on me I can see why!!

No, no need, quite happy to cut these foods out which I did a year ago. The treatment for such conditions is basically what I already eat! Having read Gary Taubes various works , and things like 'Wheat Belly' (I think that's the title) and various other books and academic studies I have greater concerns about the wisdom of eating such foods - the health risks are too great. My health dramatically improved when I cut these things out, I'm just cutting the fat dukan style to lose weight quickly following a period of stress (gotta watch those stress hormones), some skipped meals and last minute takeaways, plus long and demanding hours at work. I managed to put on a stone and a half rapidly......in the old days carbs used to leave me permanently hungry, tired, flabby.....as they would having read up on their effects....it's carbs and sugars that have dominated western food more recently that seem to be causing obesity, increase in heart disease etc....oh look I have written an essay!! Apologies if I upset anyone with this stuff, some people hate to hear it (particulalry the grain industry!!) but this was behind my own thread about the importance of the oat bran, it conflicts with much of the material I have read, so I can't see why it is so important for someone who is rarely constipated!

That's good, I'm no doctor but if you had an intolerance it would happen all the time , I have IBS and know for s fact what sets me off even a small bite so I don't touch it. Maybe just the change of diet? Your body being grumpy because you stood up to it lol
Whatever it was good luck anyway and hope you become a looser like the rest of us
