oatmeal as flare trigger?
zzznot
trying to figure out any triggers, and
about all I can see is I opened up a box
of Quaker Oats instant that had been sitting
around a while, had about three small bowls
over three days.
I've suspected oatmeal before, of being a trigger for me.
Anybody else ever notice anything of the sort?

Not oatmeal specifically, but potatoes are a trigger for me.

YES! thought I was the only one! My daughter was allergic to oatmeal
so I gave it up while I was breastfeeding her and my quite severe PA
calmed right down and the UVB treatments started to work for my skin
(and she stopped vomiting so much!). If I have a bowl of nutri-grain
or a muesli slice then I start to ache. In the past I've wondered why
I'm flaring then I've realised the multigrain bread we were using
contained oats. I've been off the oats for 6yrs now and my PA is
pretty much in remission and skin is not tooo bad. Who woulda thunk???
Before this I was trying to increase my oat intake to help the PA
which had me hobbling around like an elderly woman.
It's not hard to give up so might be worth going without for a month
then challenging. Good luck with it.

Could be the Gluten if you get stomach problems with it too.
Maybe you are a Coeliac like me? 16% of P sufferers were found to be
coeliacs in one test this (or last year)?
Oats are ok for some Coeliacs though as the gluten is different.

Just oatmeal.
Whole wheat bread, fine. Rice, fine. Fries (evil), fine.
... actually, I identified a couple of other foods that I had not been
eating regularly recently, but the oatmeal still looks the most
coincident in time.
... one other "unusual" food I ate was a can of salmon, that was a bit
older ... checks trash ... also well within shelf life, and I didn't
flare until a couple of days later.

oatmeal, rancid? I think it has zero fat ... checks box ... no, 3g
fat per 40g oats, huh. but it's well within its shelf life, fwiw.
I try to stay far away from expiration dates, tho I suppose you're
never quite sure what you're getting in restaurants.

Huge and dramatic difference, if I have general problem with carbs,
that's certainly another matter.
Though with your subtle encouragement I guess I'll give the ultra-low
carb thing a little more effort ... which will probably work better
after I finish these fun-size Twix bars left over from Halloween!
(anticipating your screams of outrage - oh lighten up already, I've
reduced my sugar/carb consumption by some astronomical percent over
the last year or two, just not to zero, I haven't had a twix bar or
similar stuff for six months)
Flare seems to have passed, and randall will be pleased to hear that
it seemed to pass coincident with my eating some yogurt - along with
some extra bread and/or milk as FOS for it to live on, in case that
matters. Mebbe, oatmeal upsets my flora? Yogurt was just by chance,
I didn't have anything in mind but that it was on special at them
market, when I bought it.
(wish the yogurt didn't have so much added sugar and HFCS ... may have
to get the plain and flavor it myself, if it turns out to be something
I need)

I do feel like a dork speculating on so little evidence, but it passes
the time.

Sure, one six-ounce container of that has maybe 100 calories of sugar
and HFCS, and hey I might spread it on a piece of bread for good luck.
Outside of eliminating the HFCS entirely (and I could swear the last
purchase I made of the same brand had only sugar, that's why I went
back to that store for more)(Ralphs/Kroger house brand),
I'm not sure how much better I'd do blending my own at home.
They do have a lite version, I guess it wouldn't kill me fast
to try it ... or at least check the calories on the label.
If that were the extent of my daily transgressions, I'd count myself
pretty darned strict.
But I did have the bun on the (turkey) burger, and croutons in the
caesar salad, today.
But if I passed the donuts, passed the fries, that's progress.

That is always difficult: there are several days between the food and
flare.
