You're so welcome Jewels! It's literally taken me years to rat it all out. I can't tell you how many calls & emails I made besides spending reams of hours on the computer doing the pre leg work before calls or emails. Thing is, when all is said & done, I can't definitively say whether it's oat cc or minutia of gluten OR BOTH that get me because I can't find pure flours free from any trace possibility of oats in order to test the theory. I too am leery of the mechanical sorting of oats but that's a moot point for me anyway. 

My husband uses a gluten-free pancake mix & I measure the liquid ingredients, mix them, & he takes the dry mix out onto the back porch & measures & mixes it into the wet ingredients. Once it's all wet then I can deal with it from there & pour the mix into the skillet & make his pancakes. You could do the same kind of process with the bread your hubs makes.

Here is a god send, change over to nut based flours, and buy from companies that only deal in nuts/seeds.....it is a blessing. So loving making my own waffles, pancakes, flat breads using only nut based flours....just recently perfected a Frankenstein loaf....like a combination for 3 recipes to make a nut based yeast free gum free starch free bread that can be used like bread.

That's right Ennis. I've developed an intolerance to peanuts though so now I have to find nut flours with no exposure to peanuts. It's getting trickier. I have managed to find an almond flour free of peanut exposure as well as a coconut flour.

I have posted recipes using coconut and almond flours for flat breads, cinnamon cakes, Vegan cheesy garlic knots, Vegan Cheddar biscuits, and I am working on a loaf bread right now....it is iffy with egg whites but is working great with egg yolks, using a mix of vegan and plain bread binding agents to avoid gums and starches. Very intriguing but the sugar count in it is too high for me -_- but my dad loves it and do to my cousins daughters. It is a honey and coconut based flavor.  Yeah got a very bad issues with peanuts like 4-5 years ago...like even the tiniest amounts or cc'eed products and I am praying to the porcelain god for hours. (side note I found a peanut free peanut butter artificial extract....so much fun)

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
