This Stinks..no Oats For Me


Roda

I tried Bobs Red Mills gluten free oats a couple of days ago in some cookies. They were great, but I have discovered that I am one who can't tolerate oats at all. That really sucks. I have never had bad symptoms and before gluten free tolerated oats fine. About a 1/2 hr to 45 min. after eating many cookies I had a fullness feeling in my stomach and had sour burps all night long. I was able to sleep after taking a couple of tums. Yesterday I ate two more cookies to "test" my theory and it took a little longer, but the same thing. Then last night I had horrible intestinal cramping and back pain. Sooooo.... no more oats for me. They have also made me constipated which seems a little backwards! :lol: I guess I figured since it has been 7.5 months and my blood work showed healing that I could eat them. For me it was something that I could feel normal with and share with the rest of the family. I just never thought that I would be one to not tolerate them. I would really hate to think if I ate a piece of bread what would happen! :o

Hi Roda,

Sorry for the oats taboo. I would miss them also, although I don't eat them very often anymore. I decided not to eat the oats too much because I know people sometimes say they develop intolerances to things they eat a lot of, not because of a reaction. I used to have them every day. Oatemal with peanut butter, orange, marmalade, and raisins. good stuff. What I do now is eat Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty gluten-free cereal the same way. It's different but is still a hot cereal. Sliced nanners are good in it also. Hmmm, I used to eat oats with salt and pepper, garlic powder and olive oil too. Not Bad.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to make the cookies with the same ingredients, but replace the oats with Bob' MT gluten-free cereal? That would eliminate the oats and you would still have cookies. And on the off chance it was a different ingredient in the cookies that made you react, you would find that out also. Might be simpler to just eat a plain bowl of oatmeal without the other ingredients, after a few days to heal up.

I have read that people have successfully used quinoa flakes. i havent so i won't personally vouch for taste/texture comparisons.

And in my gluten free path....

I too ate BRM gluten-free certified oats at about my sixth month because i too felt so much better i thought they would be fine. but i also had a slight reaction... so i waited...and waited...and waited...

not at my three year mark in one and half months and i reintroduced oats wonderfully. i would do this if i were you. wait a couple years... and then try them out. maybe eat one or two cookies. i think we sometimes feel better but our intestines may not be as healthy as they potentially could be. perhaps oats are hard to digest or something? i don't know for sure. but hopefully you can find some replacement that makes you happy in the event that oats arent ever good for you

lots of luck

Thanks! I am pretty confident that nothing else in the cookies was causing a problem. Oh well they were good while they lasted. The boys will have some oats to make cookies with now. I originally was going to wait a year but I guess I jumped the gun. I'll wait and try then in a couple of years again I guess.

Hi Roda, I recently had the same experience with the gluten-free oats....:(.

I noticed fluid retention first...same as I get with Gluten, and also had some pretty bad fatigue, and irritability, which I think was fluid in my brain, it doesn't just get in the feet, it's everywhere, anyway, I quit eating them and no more problems. I think it relates to the leaky gut and proteins leaking into the bloodstream when we were sick but didn't know what was wrong, and I think this is why some of us can be so reactive to so many things, but I think hannahp57 is right about the possibility of re-introducing them at a later time. Once the gut heals the body might be able to tolerate some of those things again. I will never try to eat gluten though...never! :)

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
