Oatmeal?

I have avoided giving my 8 year old DD any oatmeal because I couldn't get a straight answer about it being gluten-free. I have read a lot about cc and that is what I was worried about. She has been gluten-free for two weeks and it has been such a wonderful two weeks. She isn't celiac but has shown a gluten intolerance or sensitivity we are in the process of figuring it out. This morning she looked upset staring at my bowel of oatmeal, and asked when she would be able to have one. I explained the reason of cc, and that I don't know if this falls in that category or not. Then I asked her if she was willing to give it a shot and she was all for it. She at her whole bowl of strawberry oatmeal and had no reaction to it. So my ? Is do many of you eat oatmeal?

There are certaifide gluten free brands (bob red mills?). I can't handle them (gives me a belly ache). However, regular brands are CC'd because they rotate the fields with wheat (if i remembered that correctly).

Depends on her level of sensitivity. Most people stick to the gluten free oats if they can handle oats in the first place, which many cannot, but if she is not overly sensitive and there was a low level or no contamination, she could well have no problems with oats. Still, better to stick with the certified gluten free oats. :)

I have had to completely removed oats as a meal. Even the gluten free. I do eat them when as an ingredient in my wife's meatloaf though. I have read that it is possible for oats to cause a reaction in celiac's which I am one of. Think there is a protein similar to gluten. In time I will try again. But probably limit them. I still struggle with many foods cause I was really sick before diagnosed and I don't want to feel like that again. Nothing tasted so good that I was willing to chance a reaction. So if you are not sure cut if from your diet. Than add it again later. Only make one addition to your diet at a time, speaking from experience on that one.

      14 year old with Celiac & EOE still suffering...

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Nacina, I would add a B Complex to all that and extra thiamine B 1 and magnesium glycinate, and high dose Vitamin D to get his level up faster.   We need the B vitamins to repair our body and for energy to function.  Thiamine B 1 is especially important for athletes.  Thiamine works with magnesium.  Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies can cause constipation.  All eight essential B vitamins work together.  Due to poor absorption in celiac disease, supplementing with B vitamins boosts our ability to absorb them.  Here's some reading material that is helpful... An open-label, randomized, 10 weeks prospective study on the efficacy of vitamin D (daily low dose and weekly high dose) in vitamin D deficient patients https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6618212/ Micronutrients Dietary Supplementation Advices for Celiac Patients on Long-Term Gluten-Free Diet with Good Compliance: A Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6681258/ The Effects of Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide on Physiological Adaption and Exercise Performance Improvement https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6073388/ The Effect of a High-Dose Vitamin B Multivitamin Supplement on the Relationship between Brain Metabolism and Blood Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress: A Randomized Control Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6316433/ B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9662251/ Vitamins and Minerals for Energy, Fatigue and Cognition: A Narrative Review of the Biochemical and Clinical Evidence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7019700/ A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10542023/ Effects of thiamine supplementation on exercise-induced fatigue https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8815395/ The effects of endurance training and thiamine supplementation on anti-fatigue during exercise https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4241913/ Hope this helps!

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Jesmar · Posted

      Hi all.  I am an 18 year old male. Recently I had anti ttg-igA tested and it came back as 9.1 IU/ml (weak positive) (increased from previous test which was 5.6iU/mL) . What does this mean please? I am booked for an endoscopy however, i am negative for both HLA DQ2 and DQ8. I have a family history of coeliac.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      Yes and variations in their sources for natural and artificial flavors could be the culprit as well.  I might be on the more sensitive side, but I do fine with McDonald's fries and burgers if I take the bun off, and other foods that have certified gluten free ingredients and only cross contamination risk preventing the gluten-free certification.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      The regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles have yeast extract, which is probably the source of gluten.  Pinpointing the exact cause of gluten exposure is always tricky, but I've come to learn my initial reaction to gluten compared to the ongoing symptoms that will occur days, weeks, and sometimes months later.
