How About Oats?


CMCM

I'm curious how many of you can eat oats. I always thought it was a no-no, but there seems to be some discussion about it being tolerated by some celiac disease people.

Some people actually react to the protein in oats called avenin and others do not.

However, in the US pretty much all of the oats are highly contaminated with wheat so it would make them not safe for us.

I don't eat oats, it's just not worth the risk for me.

How about the McCanns Irish steel cut oats from Ireland? I wonder if they would have the same contamination as the typical oats you buy here?

I have heard that those (McCanns) are the only ones that are guranteed to be gluten free/non-contimated. But don't know if thats true.

If you do get oats that would be the brand to get (McCanns)

However, keep in mind that some celiacs actually do react to the actual protein in oats...even pure oats.

I personally will not eat them.

McCanns says that they don't grow other crops, but they can get contamination from the transportation and millling facilities.

Besides that, as has been noted, the main protein that makes oats what they are, avenin, causes a reaction in a small number of celiacs.

I do not eat anything containing oats. I know there is controversy about their safety, but I am exposed to enough risk without adding that one. No oats for me. Just my choice, everybody else must decide for themself. :blink:

I really liked oats for baking things. Carrot bread, oatmeal raisin bread, etc. Then of course oatmeal in meatloaf, along with which I'd make a large portion of mashed potatoes. Now that's yummy! Heck, plain oatmeal with margarine and a few raisins was nice too sometimes.

But, now that I'm gluten-free, I haven't dared try oats yet. It would be nice to know, but I still have too many symptoms and reactions to get cleared up before I can even think about trying them. By then I don't know if I'd want to take the chance.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
