There shouldn't be much of a concern there as long as things are washed thoroughly and you don't drink the dish water. Some have expressed concern about using the same cast iron skillets as gluten eat

It is believed that about 10% of Celiacs react the same way to oats as they do to wheat, barley and rye. But there has always been this question mark surrounding that figure as to whether that happens

Are gluten free oats ok? I get my lab test results back tomorrow for the blood test. I had them run everything that you'll said and anything she could think of. If nothing comes from that I am definitely trying the elimination diet but I never done one before. How do I do an elimination diet?

It is believed that about 10% of Celiacs react the same way to oats as they do to wheat, barley and rye. But there has always been this question mark surrounding that figure as to whether that happens because the oats that have been cross contaminated with one of those other grains. The only thing to do would be try eliminating oats from your diet for awhile. 

I have found that buckwheat (no relation to wheat) is about the easiest grain for my GI to handle. I eat gluten-free buckwheat groats for breakfast sometimes. I mention that in case you are looking for a breakfast cereal alternative. Technically, it's not a cereal grain but a seed that comes from a plant related to rhubarb. You might give it a try. It is also more nutritious than common cereal grains.

Yes, Trents is correct.  I reacted strongly to regular gluten free oats, various brands including Bob's gluten free which is processed at a dedicated facility.  Remember gluten free by legal definition is less than 20ppm, which is not low enough for Celiac's.  And since oats are easily cross contaminated in growing and harvesting and maybe transportation, even gluten free oats that meet the legal limit will not be ok for Celiac's.  I can eat them but they have to be Purity Protocol oats, which have standards for how far away from the bad gluten grains they are grown, etc.  You can search the internet for a list of brands that follow this stricter standard.  I like steel cut oats and get these from Amazon (gluten-free Harvest brand.):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBSHC7R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have never reacted to these and have them about once a month.

I think it would be better to say that 20 ppm of gluten is sufficient for most but apparently not all celiacs.

So not even certified gluten free is lower than 20ppm?

Certified gluten-free products might be contain anything up to a maximum of 20 ppm. The "certified" part means this has been verified by an independent testing lab. Non certified products labeled simply "Gluten Free" is a less exacting designation and may refer only to the fact that gluten containing ingredients are not knowingly included in the product formulation. It does not rule out the possibility that there was unintentional cross contamination of some ingredients beforehand or during production. Some companies, like Bob's Red Mill, have their own testing lab and the analysis is done in house to determine if a product exceeds 20 ppm before they label it gluten free. The potential problem with that is that the reliability and accuracy of the testing method used may not be as good as what the independent labs use. So, the long and short of all this is that "Certified Gluten Free" can be more trustworthy than simply "Gluten Free." 

This is my understanding of the difference in the two designations but someone correct me if I am wrong.

Not necessarily. That would only be true if the ingredients themselves which they receive from their suppliers has not be cross contaminated. This is where individual sensitivities come into play. A very low amount of gluten, lower than 20 ppm, may still cause reactions for some celiacs but not for others. 20 ppm does not work for all Celiacs but for most.

If certified by GFCO.org it must be lower than 10ppm.

In Canada they cannot put gluten free on the label even if there is no ingredients that have gluten in it. If the gluten free product is produced in the same location where other products that do contain gluten are made it is not gluten free. So you cannot trust it by just reading the label. Certified gluten free products would be your best choice.

I have had Celiac disease since I was 10 and my symptoms of Celiac disease slowly started to fade into nothingness. It was amazing the first day I woke up and my stomacg did not hurt and I did not throw up. But since last year at 17 my symptoms started resurfacing and my doctor does not know what to do. My GI said all my Celiac panels were normal but my symptoms are recurring. The recent symptoms are not as bad as they were when I was little. I have followed a strict gluten free diet and I am not sure why my symptoms are resurfacing. Is anyone else facing this problem? Is there something I can do?

Dear AriannaH, I suggest you to have a test in order to make sure if you are allergic to nickel as the number of people who have this type of serious allergy is recently skyrocketing.

Hello AriannaH, 

FODMAP intolerance can create persistent digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas and diarrhea even after gluten is eliminated. This is because many other foods beyond wheat contain FODMAP sugars.

Dairy was also a problem for me when I was first diagnosed. I went off it for 2 years and slowly brought it back in my diet.

I was just recently told that being deficient if thiamine is a cause of pain in muscles. To remedy this I am going to take a Complex vitamin B vitamin and magnesium which helps it to digest.

Hope this helps.

Good advice. Many prepared foods, energy bars, protein bars, etc. contain inulins and alcohol sugars that are difficult for many people to break down.

By the way, Sharona, I love your name. Never heard that one before. Is it a family name?

I don't remember that song but I remember the one about beans in your ears. You look young Sharona so I'm sure that one is not in your memory. It's from the 1960s.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
