Hi everyone!  I'm a new member on the Celiac.com forums and have a gluten-free food question for you.

I've been reading a lot lately about gluten-free oats and the fact that this food is a major "grey area" for people with Celiac disease.  It looks like some brands are safe to eat and others are not due to less-than-optimal processing practices.  This is causing major headaches for me as I'm an avid oatmeal fan and refuse to give it up!

The brands of gluten-free oats I've been using are Quaker Oats Gluten-Free Quick 1-Minute and Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Quick Cooking Rolled Oats.  Are these brands safe for Celiacs to eat?

Which brands of gluten-free oats do you recommend?

None, since they all make sick! :)

In the old days, it was advised to avoid oats for at least six months.  That is because some celiacs react to them (causing small intestine damage).  Is that you?  Who knows?  The only way to know for sure is to have a repeat biopsy three months after consuming oats.  Some countries do not advise oats at all.

So, take it from two old timers, skip the oats for a couple of months until you are well.   There is a reason why so many celiacs can not heal.  Seriously about 2/3 never heal.   Mostly because they still are getting gluten into their diet (restaurants and processed foods) and yes, maybe even oats.  

It is hard to be patient.  Use another porridge substitute.  We eat rice porridge made in the instant pot.  Or consider other grains/seeds like buckwheat, if you are craving porridge.

After several years gluten and oat free and antibodies in the normal ranges I asked my gastroenterologist if I could eat oats.  She had me eat them for 6 months and then retested my antibody levels.  No effect!  I can eat oats! I use Gluten Free Harvest oats.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
