I'm not sure I've ever tried it just straight--I know that I never put MUCH milk on it, but always a little. It is weird, because of all the foods out there, there is only one that I'm SURE gives me trouble, and it's stovetop-cooked oatmeal. 100 percent of the time. All the other possible triggers, including caffeine, alcohol, fat, insoluble fiber . . . I've had various times in the most potentially lethal ways, with no reaction. But plain ol' oatmeal--a sure bellyache.
And last summer, I determined another food that seems to cause the same type of pains: buckwheat. Cooked, raw (in those dehydrated health foody raw granolas), in 100% buckwheat soba noodles, in pancakes. After a few tries, I quit the stuff, just like I did oatmeal. Not sure if this relates, but quinoa often doesn't agree with me, either. Not the same symptoms of pain, but it nauseates me for a few hours after eating it.
Do oatmeal and buckwheat share any DNA?
