Our Daily Eats - gluten free granola - any problems?

I love this granola as it tastes good and has so few ingredients!  They have several different kinds but this is the only one that is labeled gluten free.  Down below (taken from their web site) it says "certified gluten-free whole grain rolled oats."  The actual package I have does say gluten free on the packaging but in the list of ingredients it says "gluten-free rolled oats" - the word certified is missing.  And while it does says "gluten-free" on the packaging nowhere does it have the little picture to show there is no gluten and the word certified is nowhere at all on the packaging.

Has anyone had a problem with this product. I believe it's a local product sold only in upstate NY so I'm not sure if a lot of you have ever tried this.  I've been in misery this last 3 days and think this may be the culprit.  I've looked in my food journal and see that the last couple of times I at this I also had a problem.

I hope you feel better soon.  

Well in my personal opinion, General Mills has to recoup their investment in their mechanical sorter!  They are probably selling their “gluten free oats” to many little independent gluten-free suppliers.  

Consider calling the company and asking if their oats were grown in dedicated fields or were mechanically/optically sorted.  

Of course, you might be one of the few celiacs who react to oats no matter what.  

Learn what the Gluten Free Watchdog has to say about this.  She advocates hard for celiacs.

Me?  I do not eat oats.  I do not feed oats to my gluten-eating kid unless they are organic.  New reports show issues with herbicides being applied to oats before harvest.  Worse yet, it affects toddlers!

I react to oats to lesser extent then wheat but it still causes me issues. I gave up even the purity protocol oats from gluten-free harvest.
I might suggest looking for a gluten free paleo granola that is grain free so you avoid chances of CC issues or oats. I can give you a few brands if you want. Hope you feel better.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
