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!

      Neurologist says deficiencies are caused by some malabsorption

      By VioletM · Posted

      Hi, I'm writing here to help my boyfriend who is struggling with doctors and exams that didn't go anywhere.  Frustration led me to write symptoms and results from different exams to AI (since I saw the debate about AI as an assistant to diagnosis is wide open) and it said that celiac is the most probable cause of all his symptoms. But I need now opinions from actual people. However, he doesn't show evident GI symptoms, it happens that he feels nauseous and has some bloating but those could be correlated to his mental health. He is now almost 24 and first symptons showed up at 17 with persistent hand tremors, almost as he is always cold, even when that's not true. He is also irritable and has troubles focusing and with short-term memory (often forgets what he was going to say, doens't remember where henleft keys etc..). There are other symptoms that come and go. For several days (from 1 or 5) symptoms described earlier are much more pronounced. Tremors affect other body parts as teeth start chattering, he has spasms with his head and his arms some of them being directed to specific targets and mimic voluntary actions (like slapping the nearest person, punching a door and throwing things). Other symptoms occurring in these episodes are shouting as he is feeling pain and has troubles speaking. He did some tests thinking it could be Wilson disease due to ceruloplasmin being low, but both urinary and blood copper was low (it was supposed to be high for Wilson). Zinc is also low, excluding the possibility of excessive zinc intake being the cause of low copper. Other low values were folate and alkline phosphatasis. He was diagnosed with an abnormal bipolarism disorder, treated with valproate but it just limited the frequency of those acute episodes. I hope we find an answer soon

      But you have already had the genetic testing done and you have results. You have one main celiac gene out of two main celiac genes. You have  the HL-DQ8 gene. So, you do have the potential for developing celiac disease.

      oh wow that's so interesting! if I do re-scope, I will try to eat gluten more as well. when I do its super light. so maybe trying to keep that consistent for a while then the scope. plus i want to still do the genetic testing to rule it out. that would be so easy if that is negative then I for sure don't have it.

      Keep us posted about the scoping results. Make sure before the scoping you ask them to take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and is sometimes missed if insufficient sampling is done during the biopsying.

      so all this info has been really helpful... thank you! I recently tested again and was IGA negative for celiac, but further testing says I am positive for one of the variants that is associated with celiac.  (HLA DQ8) also says value 1 and 3 for HLA DQA1, but idk what that means. Anyway, now they are suggesting repeat scope. sometimes gluten makes me super sick and sometimes I can handle it fine. last night I had bagel and woke up with stomach ache...   so Idk. the mystery continues... just dont' want to be eating and damaging my insides for years without knowing it. -K
