Anyone Eating Oats?

Hi,

I know the reasons why we are currently not approved to eat oats, but is there anyone here who eats oats? If so, where do you get them from so that they are not "contaminated"? I've heard some things about Irish oats. Any problems from eating them or other oats?

Thanks in advance,

Rachel - gluten-free since 2003 (diagnosed by bloodwork and biopsy)

daughter age 6 - gluten free since 2003 (diagnosed at 3 - bloodwork and biopsy)

daughter age 4 - gluten-free since 2004 (positive bloodwork, negative biopsy, 2 genetic markers at age 22 mos.)

son age 1 1/2 gluten-free since birth

Rachel,

My family eats oats, but I don't know if we have celiac or allergic/intolerant. I have not had them for the last 1 1/2 months. The rest of my family just went gluten free with the exception of oats and I will be including them soon. Reading the home page for celiac.com it seems as if oats are not as bad as thought but still affect some people. We don't know if the family is wheat or gluten intolerant. Just sent out kits to Enterolab recently. It may be something you would have to test out.

I have read that contamination isn't a real issue but I don't know about that. I order mine from Azure Standard.

Open Original Shared Link sells oats they calim are not contimated.

Outside of that all major brands (Quacker, Macanes, etc) all were tested and found to be continmated.

I am not willing try them with my son, when he is old enouhg to understand I will let him make that call.

we have ordered the oats that vincent mentioned-----my girls do not appear to have a problem with them, but they have not had a lot of them. recently, when i was in the hospital with my daughter, a nurse came in to talk to me because she had been told my kids had celiac. she has 2 children that have had celiac for 20+ years. she said her kids never had a problem with oats.

oats are one of the foods that people just have to try to see whether or not they are a problem for them. i'd be really interested to see the results of the blood work of someone who has been eating oats for awhile.

Well,

I take what's called "Berry Green" It's an Organic Drink of fruits and vegetables. It says that there's organic oats in it. I've emailed the company and I'm waiting for a reply on this. But to just eat oats from anything out of any grocery store or actually cook with it....no

We eat oats and I ordered from the company in Wyoming (glutenfreeoats) , there is also cream hill in Canada that sells them. No problems for us but you should start out very slow when adding then to your diet. I think I actually liked the Cream Hill better but being in the US it was cheaper to order from a US company.....

My understanding of the facts is this..

All mainnstream oat sources are contimated with gluten from wheat. If you have celiac disease you will get damage/etc from the wheat gluten, after all thats what celiac disease is. Some ppl may not think they react due to diferent levels of sensitivity. But the gluten is there, and that makes them off limits to anyonne that has celiac disease

If pure oat can truly be found, they do NOT have gluten naturaly. They do have a different protien , and some ppl with celiac disease will react to that protien, complete with damage to intestins, just like they do gluten.

Thats the facts as I understand them. If I had celiac disease I would prbly try the gluten-free oats, but with caution.

Thank you for the input. I'm contemplating slowly adding oats into my diet and seeing what happens. Not sure yet - I'm kind of afraid, but we'll see. I'm not comfortable experimenting on my children though - I'll let them try, if they want, when they're old enough to decide and/or tell me how they're feeling.

Thanks again

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
