I've never had a problem with any McCormick's product.

Me either. McCormick is on my rather small list of absolutely trustworthy companies. I trust McCormick over most grocery store brands.

I agree that oats are not for everybody. I have read that some people do have reactions to them. I think it is a small number of celiacs who react to oats, but if it is you that is what matters! So it probably is better to avoid them when starting the gluten-free diet, just in case you are one of the people who do have a reaction to them.

In the months following my diet change, I my body went downright nuts. New and different health problems every week for a while.

It's 8 months since my diagnosis (bloodwork and biopsy), and my body is finally settling down in a lot of ways. I still have more headaches and neurological problems than pre-diagnosis, but my neurologist pointed out that my body was used to functioning in a chronic state of inflammation, and it is not uncommon to experience neurological changes with changes in inflammatory function. I still have a lot of health "quirks" but don't know if or how they relate to Celiac and the diet change.

Best of luck - hope things are getting better for you!

Thanks so much for posting these articles. It really helps me understand what is happening to my brain with the blood flow. I have been very discouraged lately as I have beee 5 months gluten free and my neurological problems are still pretty bad. I get a few good days, but mostly bad ones. I am so hoping the 6 month mark will show some good changes. Thanks again!
