If you can tolerate certified gluten free oats, how do you like oatmeal? Any suggestions for fun toppings?

 

I just got a new 25 lb bag of oats and I decided to buy some dried cherries to go with them, because I was getting tired of raisins.

My favorite oatmeal growing up was always maple and brown sugar. I like to just cook them with maple syrup and brown sugar in the water then drizzle a little maple on top. I also like to dice up part of an apple (and when I say dice, I mean I do it really, really small) and put that, brown sugar and cinnamon in it. If you're adventurous, there are actually a lot of great recipes available if you just google for them. Some are awesome, some not so much. Somewhere I saw one once where they made the oatmeal with coconut milk instead of water, that looked good too.

I like oatmeal with brown sugar or real maple syrup, cinnamon, walnuts and blueberries.  Or strawberries.  Or cherries.  Or cut up banana.  Or cut up apple.  Almost any fruit except citrus.  And add cream or whole milk (from grassfed , organically raised cows if at all possible).

 

There are many recipes out there for 'oatmeal in a jar', that you prepare the night before so it is ready to heat and eat in the morning.  Also recipes for oat based breakfast 'cookies' and bars.  Enjoy!

Oatmeal with blueberries, cinnamon, brown sugar, and just a touch of maple syrup.  I also add flax seed and milk on top.  YUMMM!  In fact, I am going to go make some right now.

I would stir in egg whites while it was finishing up cooking, then add peanut butter and a touch of stevia/sugar.

I also used to like it with cocoa powder, PB, hershey syrup (just a tad, not a lot). Mix in some crushed walnuts. mmmm I miss oats.

Moose,

Did you try Buckwheat Creamy hot cereal a Hodgson Mill product? Ingredients are Buckwheat and milled flax seed.  clearly labeled gluten free.   If I remember correctly, it reminds me of cream of wheat more than cream of rice/grits.

I most certainly did try cream of buckwheat! I used the Pocono brand, though. I liked it a lot! I actually love the cream of brown rice that I'm currently eating for breakfast. It's just as easy to make on the stove before work as the buckwheat was. It's also cheaper/easier to find than the buckwheat! You've got a great memory. :)

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
