oats and citric acid

Does anyone have information about oats being used as the substrate in citric acid production?  I am intolerant to oats rather than gluten, and seem to get an "oat reaction" whenever I am exposed to citric acid.  Thanks

This is a interesting topic, in what foods is the citric acid in? I have never heard of oats being used in citric acid productions. But I have found some foods, fermented or stored in a certain way bother me. I have chocked this up to a moderate histamine reactions. Again oddly some bother me some do not. Like my body is a picky child. Overly ripe tomatoes or some tomatoes canned in salt and citric acid bother me and make me sick and throw up. Unsalted ones organic, and only from 2 brands have NEVER caused this issues.  Distilled, balsamic, rice, and a few other vinegar make me throw up...oddly apple cider vinegar does not.  I found Real lemon lemon or lime juice powder does not bother me but the stuff in the bottle does. This is a amusing one. I am a bit piqued here by the citric acid phanomon myself. Is it the source of the citric acid, the way it is processed, the histamine level of it. I react to oats much like gluten but on a VERY reduced level even gluten-free Oats.

OK after writing all this I looked it up, seems a lot of times it is made from corn.....Open Original Shared Link

THIS explains my issues with it, unsure how much of the protein gets through but I am highly allergic to corn. I thank you for bringing this up. Hmm now is it a histamine issue, corn issue, mold related issue, Or somethinge else? ...... OK I wish there were required to tell you what they derived a compound from -_-

I wouldn't think citric acid would be a problem as it is highly purified. Protein is what causes a reaction, and it is unlikely that even trace amounts are present.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
