Rolled Oats: Could They Be Causing Me Trouble.

Hello Fellow Celiacers.

 

I was diagnosed 10 years ago, and its been fairly good since. About 2 years ago I tought myself to eat oats (Oatmeal) for breakfast. Never used to. gross..lol  Now I have been really suffereing bad with aches, pain, severe neck stiffness and headaches, migraines, stiffness and now hair loss and breakage.  I am also under a great deal of stress but I have always have been, but being in such cronic pain all the time...having NO energy all the time will make one stressed. Saw a naturapath Doc yesterday and she suspects the oats I eat every single day but I was always told Oats were fine.  Mine are Wheat free...

No one can seem to get a handle on whats wrong.  I am miserable :(

 

Any ideas.

Are they labelled gluten free oats? Regular oats often have a high level of wheat/ gluten in them by accident.

Trying to find an article I saw recently. It said that a few Celiacs seem to react to oats.

Even in this forum some people have a hard time with gluten-free oats. Have you had your vitamin levels checked? Just curious I was suffering from, no energy, hair loss, mouth sores, Nails coming loose, and low and behold it was Folate , Folic Acid. It's a B vitamin. Just saying you might want to get your vitamin levels checked.

Thanks.  Yes I take many Vit B. I take so many suppliments everyday.  I am not seeing any difference in my hair, I posted another question about it. I work in a pharmacy and handle hundreds of pills daily.  So many I am being contaminated and dont know it.  I am getting a foods IgG test gone on the 18th of Aug and a DHEA test on the 10th.  Been so off for awhile and I am ready to be heathly again. Just cant seem to pin down whats wrong with me.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

The celiac Disease Foundation just did an article on the reasons why some celiacs have problems with even glutyen free oats. It has to do with a protein in them that is very similar to wheat. I will try to find it and post it. It was on my fb so will have to look back a few days worth.

Would we have our celiac bloodwork affected for eating oats if we happen to be one of the people affected by eating even gluten-free oats?

Unless they are "Certified Gluten Free", there's always a chance of contamination from wheat, barley or rye. Some of the symptoms you're describing  could be from being "glutened". I've experienced them myself. Chex has really good gluten free instant and rolled oats.

I can't say definitively because I haven't read it in any medical references but I'm going to venture it could be possible BUT that would depend on how much & how long one had been eating them AND only if you're one of those who has an actual T cell reaction to the cert. gluten-free oats. 

iBelieve Newbie

I eat certified gluten-free oats almost everyday for breakfast and I feel fine from it. I would die if I had to stop eating oats seeing as I can't have bread ( I don't like any gluten-free breads). I need substance and some good simple carbs at breakfast or I don't feel good at all. I just worry now if eating them will keep my numbers up should I get tested again. I was just diagnosed ( after being undiagnosed a few years ago after biopsy) and my number was 250. I was told my doc has never seen s number this high. I only ate gluten for about 5 weeks in order to get the blood test again but have been eating 90% gluten-free since my "undisgnosis" a few years back.

Have you ever heard the old saying, "Don't borrow trouble"? Don't borrow trouble. If you're eating them & you feel fine then go ahead & keep enjoying them. I don't think your high number was from the oats alone. You did say you were eating 90%. That 10% is what got you. That along with your 5 weeks of gluten gluttoning gave you your numbers. Unless you're having reactions then the oats won't hurt you & you would know if you were having reactions so don't worry, be happy & eat your oats.:)

Sounds like all of my symptoms with gluten free oatmeal. I cannot eat any oats. My dad and sister with celiac can't have gluten free oats either.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.

      Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure out how to each message individually. I saw one with some information on sebaceous hyperplasia but now I can't find it. I appreciate you all so much for all your responses and advice! God bless! Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure out how to each message individually.
