Silk unsweetened oat deliciously creamy creamer

[Gidget50]

So, I've read about the 2021-2022 info about this product has misleading ingredients and there were lawsuits on this. I'm assuming products today are fine. But from many things I've read, I'm still unsure and skeptical as to if I can actually drink this. I just dont trust labeks anymore that say they are gluten- free with product has oat etc in it! Could you please shed some light? I just signed up on here and for the newsletter. I'm also newly diagnosed as having celiacs. 

 

Thank you in advance, 

Gidget

Welcome to the forum, @Gidget50

It's a good idea to avoid oats for a while after diagnosis.  Sensitivity to other foods can develop while your body is still so inflamed.  Cutting out dairy is helpful, too.  Some Celiacs have a reaction to Casein (a protein in dairy) the same as to gluten.  Others develop lactose intolerance.  Lactose is the sugar in dairy which is digested by enzymes (lactase) produced in the tips of the villi in the small intestine.  Inflammation from Celiac Disease damages these villi preventing the production of lactase.  Undigested lactose is fermented by intestinal bacteria, causing gastrointestinal bloating and digestive symptoms.

I found the Autoimmune Paleo Diet very helpful.  The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a great book.  She's a Celiac herself.  The AIP diet has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.

 Hope this helps!

Around 9% of people with celiac disease also have an intolerance to oats, even the gluten-free variety, so this may be the case for you.

In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does not mean that there is 19ppm gluten, as some people might lead you to believe. Whenever any levels of gluten are detected in foods labelled gluten-free companies, especially in the USA, seek to find the source of gluten and eliminate it. There is a very common myth or misconception that companies don't care at all if their products test at 10ppm or 15ppm, but they do because a product recall could be in their future very soon if they hit the 20ppm or higher level.
