Bob's Red Mill gluten-free "oatmeal"

Giving this two thumbs up!!  I like this!  It's very smooth and creamy.  In the past I've used Quaker Quick Oats and traditional oats, usually make it with milk and add in some craisins.  I like Bob's much better!!!  I made it with 1/2 water, 1/2 milk today just to see how it worked out.  The hardest meal for me is going to be breakfast because I typically have either cereal with fruit or oatmeal and with the limited gluten-free cereal choices the lack of variety is going to be an issue.  I'm not an egg fan.  I did get some gluten-free waffles but I haven't tried them yet because syrup has too many calories for my temporary diet.

I love oatmeal but it's just too much for my body to deal with. I tried it a few weeks ago and It made me very tired and made me stumble all over like I had been glutened.

SMRI, waffles are really good with other toppings other than syrup. I make whole grain gluten free waffles on a regular basis and serve them with unsweetened applesauce, peanut butter, fruit juice sweetened jam, butter, and fresh berries. (like raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc.)

True..but I like them with syrup. :D  I could heat up some jam and use that though too.

:(  There are some people who can never handle oats, but many are able to add them back in after a period of good healing.  I would wait about 6 months and try again, with caution.

It's so funny to me, looking back I could eat hot peppers all the time with no problem, but every time I ate oatmeal (pre celiac dx) it would give me heartburn without fail!

The kids across the street put flavored yogurts on their waffles. Some people make sandwiches with them - like ham and cheese or ice cream. :)

Well, that may be a warning sign for the future!  LOL!  Hot foods don't give me a problem unless I eat them with a lot of fat or acidic foods, which is how a lot of things come, doh!

Blessed,

Those waffles sound amazing. I am so going to try those tomorrow, as I have a recipe for  a gluten-free waffles. I am thinking applesauce on them would be  sweet, never thought of that one before.

I make mine with certified gluten free oats and whatever other configuration of ingredients I have on hand. Sometimes I put garbanzo beans in them, sometimes eggs, sometimes cashews. Often flax seed, for the extra omega 3. 

 

Just a general reminder for any newbies reading this thread, be sure to buy a new waffle iron after DX. Waffle irons are very, very difficult to clean thoroughly if they've been used on gluten waffles.

I have recently gotten into millet for breakfast. It is easier to cook overnight in a crock pot. Loaded with protein, fiber and low fat. I feel like its pretty cheap too because 1/4 cup is a serving which cooks up into 1 cup. I treated it like oatmeal and added some sugar and cinnamon, it satisfied my want for oatmeal in the morning but didn't give me heartburn, fatigue and ataxia *thumbs up* Really filled me up and kept me full.

 

My family and friends are starting to label me as the weird eater, then they try my food and are deliciously surprised.

Yes, millet is very cost effective!

 

My bulk supplier can get me 25 pounds of organic certified gluten free millet for around $37. Compared to the price of gluten-free oatmeal and other grains, that's pretty cheap!

Gluten free oatmeal is quite expensive! I enjoy quinoa, and so does my tummy but it is quite expensive. Im hooked on millet!

Yeah, I buy my quinoa at Sam's Club or Costco to keep the price down, but it's not exactly perfectly cheap there either. The price at Costco used to be $2.50 a pound awhile back. I wish now that I had bought up a bunch when it was that price!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
