My son and I both tried McCann's. I never got nauseous with them. I did have horrible gas. Maybe the fiber though. My son liked them too, but he started having some diarhea after two weeks. WHo knows though with him. IT may have been a bug.

I wont ever try oats again--they made me ill before I was gluten free and I wont ever trust them. I like Dr. Green and I do believe most everything he says, but I feel he is wrong about oats. I have listened to him talk too and at that meeting he spoke of oats. He asked the room of over 200 how many would try oats again and only 1 person raised their hand. So, I am not alone in the belief that I will never trust oats. Deb

It was a research in Norway ,studying oats and celiac in 8years ,and the result was that oats is safe,regarding gluten,but soy is also safe ,in this regard but most people with celiac can t tolerate it,some can,I am going to try oats for my son and will let you know.

I would hesitate to encourage any one to try oats unless they had a tangible way of measuring a reaction...meaning, there could be a reaction, but not one someone would pick up on. Sometimes our reactions can be pretty subjective too...so if I was going to try them (which I'm not at this point), I would make sure I had a concrete way of measuring potential symptoms or damage. I guess that could be several things, ie. a follow-up blood test perhaps...but, that's just my take on it.

I would also hesitate to encourage oats because a portion of celiacs do get intestinal damage from pure oats and all the oats in the US have had problems with contamination.

Riceguy is right ... your oats need to be completely un-contaminated, and only a very few brands can say that. Quaker Oats ARE NOT safe! They are contaminated, as is their puffed rice! Take care

What?! Quaker puffed rice is unsafe? The Quaker 800 # has a press one for English, press three for gluten free items thingy on the automated answer and the voice told me that Quaker puffed rice is gluten-free. (This wasn't one of the usual voices I hear, it came from the phone )

I guess it doesn't matter anyway, I've never found Quaker puffed rice, I found Nature's Path gluten-free rice puffs at Sobeys and the Safeway finally has some that "ingredients: rice, manufactured in a facility that also produces wheat products."

The US and Canadian Quaker gluten-free products are not necessarily the same.

Well...I bought some McCann's oats but now I dont think I can eat them...ever.

I'm too scared.

I think I will return the nice round can next week.

I went to a meeting yesterday where Dr. Peter Green from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University was the main speaker. He and Anne Roland Lee, the expert celiac nutritionist, said that it is infact safe for us to have oats. They suggest introducing them in very small quantities to start with but say it is a good idea to eat them if you can as it is a good source of fiber.

The 2 brands that Anne said are safe are McCann's Irish Oats and Country's Choice.

I know a lot of people are still unsure of whether to eat oats but if Dr. Green and Anne say it's ok I trust them more than any other source.

If I stayed away from all these foods I would starve to death. I for one am not going to live my life in fear of what might happen. I will try oats, if I react ... and I would know... then I will not eat them again. I think some of these things are being carried to the extreme. Life is too short to worry about every little thing that "might" harm us. It also might NOT. One time to try it isn't going to kill anyone except those who actually take an extreme reaction and go into shock. And those people know who they are. And yes, if I was one of those I would not try it for sure. But the most I get is a few lousy days .. and if I can add oats to my diet, it's worth the risk.

Shirley,

The list is just a list of 96 different foods that can all be tested for IgG sensitivities. I think he was saying if you take the test and come back sensitive to oats then you would know to stay away. I dont think the test can determine that though since the test cant determine celiac...I would think it cant determine whether oats are causing damage or not.
