Ezekiel bread and oats in a gluten free diet?? I was about to say… I found out I had a mild sensitivity to gluten at the beginning of my contest prep this year after eating a couple sandwiches with ezekiel bread; had gastrointestinal bloating, distending gut, gassy, just overall uncomfortable feeling. I completely threw out gluten and never felt better, certainly got rid of the symptoms. Oats had the same effect; so, I would suggest the same to anyone with an intolerance as well.
I pretty much stuck to rice, quinoa, buckwheat, potatoes, some fruit. By the end of my prep, it was just sweet potatoes and brown basmati rice. Seriously though when dieting down, 350g of carbs is like a holiday… definitely not something you should be complaining about. With rice, I pre-soak however much I needed for my post-workout meal over night and then just cook it an hour before I hit the gym. Pre-soaking literally cuts the cooking time in half and probably makes the rice a little easier on the stomach as well. Nothing made me happier than coming home to a big bowl of rice or potatoes after a heavy lifting day!![/quote]
Are you sure it was a gluten issue and not a matter of consuming a large amount of fiber in a relatively short amount of time? A slice of Ezekiel bread has 5g of fiber and oats pack a fair amount too, and the symptoms you are describing are nowhere near exclusive to negative gluten reactions. Man, I just ate a whole pizza and my stomach is distended…I must have an intolerance to tomatoes…couldn’t be something as simple as food volume…that would be far too logical for the Supplements and Nutrition forum!
What I’m getting at here is how suddenly, fucking everyone has a gluten intolerance this week. I’m going to call my bookie and put money on gluten replacing HFCS and trans-fats as the great nutritional scapegoat in 2011.[/quote]
I feel Koresh is the one who started this whole thing.
