The problem is that even if the oats are gluten-free, how can you tell whether you are one of those who has a similar reaction to pure oats as to gluten, or not. This type of reaction has been witnessed in trials and research. To truly try oats safely, in my opinion, you would need to have follow-up testing done--bloodwork, biopsy etc.

It has taken me so long to get "healthy" that I just can't get myself to try oats in case I have more crappy reactions...

I'm with you... I've worked so hard to get healthy(er) that I wouldn't want to risk being one of those who reacts to oats...

i love the idea of being able to use oats-----but i don't know how we would tell since two of my girls didn't have normal symptoms, and i am only recently realizing that kassie's symptoms have been caused by celiac.

From what I understand this place only has oats growing and no cross contamidation. There also is another company in canada that is producing oats. I did receive a sample of the Canada oats at the Columbus conference and I loved them. Both company's went through strict guidelines so I'm told....

four of us ate the oats two full blown celiac's and two with intolerances to wheat & gluten ... Glad to say none of us got sick from eating the free samples....... I'm sold and I miss using oats so I'm ordering. They say to take it very slow when adding oats back into your diet.... Of course with anything some people will have a reaction when others don't......I haven't tried their brand of oats .

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
