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.

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.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
