Dave, this is something I would like to know as I've never been able to find this out.   All I can say is about three months ago I found I could eat oats (pure, certified gluten free) again seemingly without pain and probably rather overdid it.  Then, a month later, the burning stomach and neuro symptoms (muscle twitching) started up.   There could of course be a completely different cause but until I get my blood tests back at my bi-annual visit to the gastroenterologists I won't know.

 

Sorry to hear.    As I stated earlier.    I won't eat anything with oats or soy.    I get worse rashes (DH) now when gluten and leaves a permanent mark.    They were minor, but since going gluten-free they got worse.    So I  rarely take any chances being glutened.

This looks like a good recipe.   I'd advise to stick to oats - don't use spelt - and also forget about the chocolate chips.  Your first flapjack should be unadulterated.   If you slightly undercook them or add a bit more syrup (I think in the States it's called light treacle?) they will be softer.

thanx!!  i think that corn syrup would probably work :)

Yes... I googled an exact US alternative to golden syrup and several sites says there isn't one!  However, I gather you can buy it in certain stores in the US.  The brand you need for an authentic British flapjack is Lyles Golden Syrup.   

Sorry... going slightly off piste with this Oats thread!

This is very interesting.  I didn't know oats and soya could aggravate DH.

This is my favorite brand of golden syrup.  Have enjoyed it for years without problems.

I'd really like to try this.   I shall look out for it.   

However, I wonder if it would taste like or even "act" like Lyles as the only ingredient in Lyles is partially inverted refiners syrup which is made from either cane or beet sugar, and there is nothing else in it.  I guess the message for flapjack purists would be to track down Lyles first, make a batch, then try the same with Golden Eagle.   Mmmm... a nice excuse to bake tonnes of flapjack!

this week, i tried the nuts dot com brand of gluten-free organic rolled oats with success  :)  the texture/flavor was much better than the instant brand (natures path) that i've been able to digest.  the taste is 'plain', too, lolz.  i jujjed it up with some craisins and mesquite maple walnuts (also from my favorite nut company)  

off to find golden syrup!!  our grocery store actually has a british section, so i'm gonna start there  :D

      Recently diagnosed with a problem with no cure is annoying and upsetting. Why does this happen? I have enough health problems to deal with and now this. I can live with reading labels and giving up things at I'm 68 years old. I can cook with gluten free everything and not give up good healthy food, look for gluten free restaurants, do all I'm told to do to...

      Frozen gluten -free meals

      Amy's has been my go-to for gluten-free meals for years. Her cooks need to have feedback--for example, the two enchiladas with authentic Mexican sauce, very tasty. The 1 enchilada w span rice &beans is a disappointment ...the enchilada is terrible with its collection of corn &green peppers instead of cheese and sauce. Not tasty at all.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      You also mentioned eating 10g of gluten for 2 weeks are longer do you think less then 6 weeks is ok? I heard 2 weeks gives false positives what about 4 weeks 10g whole wheat a day? I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a...

      Welcome to the forum, @Beagirl! What you are feeling is what we have all felt to one degree or another and we typically feel it more intensely when we already have a laundry list of health issues to work around. It's often the result of a sense of loss . . . of having to say goodbye to some good foods that we enjoy that may have been part of a shrinking list of things that are left that we still found pleasure in. And also for many it represents a social loss . . . not being able to accept dinner invitations from family and friends because you are unsure if they know how to cook gluten free . . . not being able to go out to just any restaurant with family and friends because their menu doesn't have gluten free offerings and if it it does, are they careful with regard to cross contamination issues?

      Recently diagnosed with a problem with no cure is annoying and upsetting. Why does this happen? I have enough health problems to deal with and now this. I can live with reading labels and giving up things at I'm 68 years old. I can cook with gluten free everything and not give up good healthy food, look for gluten free restaurants, do all I'm told to do to manage the problem. So I don't know why I'm complaining since it is manageable.

I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a multivitamin to play it safe or when I take the test ask for full vtamin blood test to see all vitamin levels and whatever im low in take that vitamin? Thanks

      Hello again, @JessikaSwallow78! I think you already posted in another section of the forum. My goodness! You are dealing with quite a few health challenges! Anemia and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are very common with celiac disease. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel and reduces the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. The lining of the small bowel is the section of the intestines where these things are absorbed and this issue may also be causing your discomfort after eating.  Constipation and diarrhea are classic GI symptoms with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and you already have two autoimmune disorders, namely, Raynauds and Fibromyalgia. I mention this because autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you have one, you often acquire others with time. I think your next step is to get tested for celiac disease. The initial step of testing involves a blood draw from which they check for antibodies which are fairly specific to celiac disease. Ask your doctor to order these two lab tests, TTG-IGA and Total IGA (aka, Immunoglobulin IGA), when he/she does the blood draw. Make sure you don't start cutting back on wheat products in the mean time or you will invalidate the testing. Keep us posted.
