Oat Anti-bodies?

I know about tests for gliadin and reticulin antibodies, but is there such a thing as a blood test for avenin? I was curious because I think I have my strongest reaction (headache, nausea, cramping) to eating oats.

None that I have heard of yet. Wish there was!

Hi Guy22od:

Oats are the only thing that I have a strong reaction too. I can eat bread products, (I have the subtle symptoms, ie. tiredness, brain fog, occasional body dumping etc.) But when I eat oats it is fast and immediate, it is as if I have just been poisoned. I ate oatmeas EVERY day for about three years, along with changing to whole wheat products and a whole "healthy diet." I continued to get sicker and sicker, neuropathy, stomach, blood sugar issues, etc. I was to the point that I could not get out of bed. After taking oats out of my diet and am starting to feel better. I am having my scope at the end of the month and CANNOT wait to go completely gluten free.

Good luck to you. (I often wondered if I am just not allergic to oats?)

Oats and barley were the big ones for me, but I noticed everything starting with oat problems. Even the Irish oatmeal gave me a severe reaction. I almost wonder if it is because of gluten AND oat fiber. Have either of you noticed barley giving the same immediate reaction as with oats?

No test yet. Some Celiacs do react to pure oats. However, it also could have been gluten contamination in your oats that caused the issue.

Hi Robbin, I barley and rye are not really a part of my diet so I cannot comment on them. I try to believe the cross contamination rational, but I can eat pure whole wheat flour, or things like shredded wheat and not have a reaction. But one bowl of oats and the whole stomach thing starts again and stays with me for days. At first I thought it was the fiber, but I take fiber everyday and have forever, so I thought it may be too much fiber so gave up the physillim (sp?) and oats would still make me ill. I put the fiber back in and gave up oats and my issue went away. I ate oatmeal one day a week ago after my Gastro appointment, thinking I would just add them back in until my scope at the end of the month. BAD IDEA! A VERY BAD IDEA. I am still suffering the affects.

So, I figure, it could be cross contamination in some, but some just really have a bad reaction to oats. I know without a doubt oats will not be a part of my gluten free life.

      Cream of buckwheat

      Welcome to the forum, @Thoas! Just curious. Why do you ask? Is there some reason you are hesitant to try it besides taste?

      Algaecal causing high result in Coronary Artery Calcium test?

      By Capt Jules · Posted

      I was instructed to take Algaecal as alternative to bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis. I did for 2 years, 1200 mg a day. My cholesterol spiked above normal during this time. We watched it and finally determined best to get a test to see if calcium was causing the spike. I have never had high cholesterol before. Could the celiac non absorption have caused calcium to build in my arteries? Now put on a statin to lower cholesterol (began at 180 went to 240 while on Alcagal). thanks

      High school and starting a 504plan in FLORIDA

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating a new diagnosis and setting up a 504 plan in Florida can feel overwhelming, but you’re taking such an important step for your daughter! Common accommodations for students with conditions like celiac or gluten sensitivity include unrestricted bathroom access (with no arbitrary limits), permission to leave class or school abruptly if symptoms flare, excused absences for recovery days without requiring immediate doctor notes, and access to safe snacks or a designated eating area. Some families also request preferential seating near the door for easy exits, extended time on tests if fatigue is an issue, or the ability to keep medication/food in the classroom. As for strict bathroom policies, a 504 plan overrides those rules—your daughter’s medical needs legally take priority. It might help to specify in the plan that she requires ‘as-needed’ bathroom access or the ability to go home without penalty during a reaction. Many students thrive with these supports in place, but clear communication with teachers (and a backup advocate, like a school nurse) is key. Wishing your daughter a smooth transition—you’re already doing great by advocating for her!
