HAs anyone had an experience with McCann's Irish Oatmeal? The company web site claims it is manufactured in an oats-only factory.

Also - what about Udo's Oil 3-6-9? One of the ingredients listed is "bran oil". On their website, it says that the gluten content of bran oil is miniscule - less than what is in buckwheat, which is considered gluten-free.

First, a small portion of celiacs react to the protein, avenin, in pure oats. So some may not be able to tolerate them.

Second, I believe McCann's had some contamination issues...I believe with transporting or something. If you must eat oats get ones that are grown by themselves, shipped by themselves and in a factory by themselves.

Buckwheat has nothing to do with wheat and does not contain gluten.

Actually though, most grains have gluten in them...rice has gluten, corn has gluten, etc but it is the gluten in wheat,rye, barley, and sometimes oats that we can't tolerate...and then the offsprings of those products like kamut, spelt, etc.

If they say that there are traces of gluten in it I would stay away from it. Many companies say gluten free but then have that contamination risk to cover their butt and that is one thing but if a company does not even consider their product gluten free and then puts the gluten amount is miniscule...I would avoid that brand.

Ditto what Kaiti said on the oats.

For the oil - what kind of bran is it? corn bran? rice bran? wheat bran? oat bran? the first two would be alright, the last two would not be.

Tried Mccann's oats and so did my son. My son didn't seem to have the obvious symptoms right away. THen after eating them for two weeks he started having diarhea and not eating well. THe diarhea then lasted for a week after taking him off of them. When I was eating them. I got the bone pain back and mainly bloating and gas everyday. It was a bit strange, because my son and I both didn't seem to have our typical gluttening symptoms, bug we have left them alone. Not worth feeling bad for, but I do miss oatmeal.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
