gluten free Oatmeal...hmmm

I have Hashimot's, Hypothyroidism, Gluten Sensitivities that literally react like celiac disease as well as brain injuries...so diet is very important for overall health for me and gluten is a killer, especially wheat for me...and yes, I have had the reactions of painful hives before i went gluten free and they bled awful and hurt and can be traced back to Glysophate reaction...so since 2017 i went AIP..but adding back foods has been a teeter totter since then...now in 2023 i learned a valuable lesson and can share this...

So stress kills me with the brain injuries and with my inflammation so weight is a problem...so eating very strict again...in this process i found reactions are easier to see, but was fooled...Quaker oats is gluten free and uses equipment they say which is and i have been eating this for over 2 months..loving the gift of a grain again...BUT..i noticed my digestion at first being great (yes i live on digestive enzymes and probiotics) and it started slowing down...i did not put 2 and 2 together that pretty much every grain has a protein and sure...Oatmeal is iffy depending on the individual...Now Bob's Redmill says 100% it is sustainably sourced....So i looked up Quaker Oats...that is controversial...

so the lesson..and now the labels are even starting to change to show glysophate free, even the small amount allowable may not be for your body and gluten free has to be looked at deeper, but my grain days of any kind are over...I guess that is a lesson in true elimination to really see and really gives you a gauge on your body and healing...

I thank you for this site and all who participate in it because to learn and just get to understand food nowadays and reactions to all the new chemicals, colors and dyes and additives is so scary and yes, even apples for me, i have to peel off the skin because of that shiny wax coating and just digestion itself for even organic ones....

I pray for a continued road to something better and continued healing for all of you...

The skin of the apple, as is the case with most fruits and tuberous veggies, is where most of the vitamins are. Could you run hot water over the apples to wash off the wax so that you don't have to peel them?

I can sometimes eat apple skin but usually it will upset my stomach. When I was a kid it was my grandmothers job to peel apples so I would eat them. I have the same trouble with cucumbers. Love them and they love me back but not the peel. Potatoes also.

my inflammation so weight is a problem

Over this past year I lost 30 pound of belly fat. I am pretty certain it was the combination of:

  • 500 mg B1 Thiamine
  • 500 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid
  • 500 mg B5 Pantothenic Acid
  • 1000 mcg B12
  • 840 mg phosphatidyl choline
  • 250 mcg vitamin D 10,000 IU

Dr Amen has done lots of work on repairing brain injury in football players.

Choline is needed for acetylcholine, nerve transmission in the brain and fat digestion. It, along with B12. folate and B6 can lower homocysteine, an independant indicator of inflammation. Only 10% of us eat enough choline. Choline is needed to prevent fetal neural tube defects.

Low iodine intake can cause Hashimoto, brain fog, breast cancer, cretanism.

higher levels of vitamin D is protective of autoimmune diseases and I think low vitamin D is the primary cause we are all so "immune system compromised".

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
