Oat CC Risk in Sensitive Individuals

I've been a lurker here for a while, but had a question I couldn't find an answer to.

I am planning on making some Christmas cookies for my non-celiac family. I am aware that cooking with regular flour is a bad idea, but was wondering about how concerned I should be about using oats for their cookies. I have a bunch of gluten-free oats leftover from when I tried the oat challenge (it did not go well unfortunately), so I was going to use those. I will obviously not be eating the cookies, but was wondering about how/if I can safely prepare cookies with oats if I have a problem with them. Although I can certainly modify my cookie recipe, this is something I'd been wondering about in general as well and was hoping to find an answer re: oat CC risk in sensitive individuals.

I was thinking I would wear some disposable gloves and line the pan with parchment paper but am not sure if there is anything else I should do. I am currently staying at my parents' house, so it's not as if I'll be contaminating their baking stuff as all of it has seen wheat previously (house is temporarily gluten-free for my sake though).

Thoughts?

Use the oat as long as they are whole and not ground into flour.  I assume the balance of the dough will be gluten-free flour.    You just have to worry about inhaling and swallowing small particles.  That is why it is best not to be in a room with wheat flour.  

I keep a bin of gluten-free kitchen stuff at my parent's  house.  I use my Mom's pots, pans and bowls, but i use my own items (non-stick pan, toaster bags) too.  

I bake with Pamela's as it does not have Xantham gum which for some reason does not agree with me.  My non-celiac family loves everything that I bake as fresh trumps store bought everytime.   I also bake at my parent's house and the kids love helping me.  It is gluten-free.  I use parchment paper too as a barrier and the fact that gluten-free baked good tend to stick.  Their shelf life is very short, so seal well and freeze.  Defrost an hour or so before serving.  Better yet, gobble them up as soon as they are cool!

Thanks! That's what I had thought. I will be using gluten-free flour as the base ingredient in the cookies and was not planning on grinding up the oats. I've never seen Pamela's where I live, but I've had good baking success with most of the flours I've tried so far. I have some dedicated items at my parents' place, but will be using their cookie sheets for this one as I don't want to contaminate mine :) .

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
