Could Your Babies Tolerate Oats?

Well first let me update you on Maddie. She is now 9 months old and doing very well she weighs 17 pounds now and is 26 inches! She eats squash, carrots, green beans and apples :D She can tolerate Nutramigin in small amounts once in awhile too! THat is just a good sign for her milk intolerance issues. She still nurses 3 times a day with 2 meals of solids. :)

Saturday we started her on Oats. She has done very well on them but today she had a very mushy not quite runny stool. Oats is the only thing that has changed in her diet. It is the Earth's Best kind so it should be safe for her. I don't think it was a bad sign or anything but just wondering about the oats as far as other kids.

Obvisiouly we don't know if she is Celiac yet or not she has never had gluten. But I am so we are trying to take the precautions now. :) THanks

My kids never could eat oats, or barley cereals (should have tipped me off, but I didn't know about celiac then) they could only eat the rice cereal.

My kids did really well on baby oatmeal, but I mixed it with breast milk--could that make a difference? Interestingly enough, they didn't do well on rice cereal at first--stopped them up big time.

My daighter can't eat directly yet, so everything is through me, but I tried oats once and she immediately had blood back up from her feeding tube, vomiting, lethargy, and constiption. I haven't bothered trying again.

So glad she's doing so good now!

Ummm... if your giving her oats, then she has had gluten. Not being picky, just want to be sure your clear on that. :)

My son could not tolerate oats, infact in the end it was oats that tipped us off to his celiac disease.

I don't have a baby yet but I would not give my child oats. You see, some people react and get intestinal damage from oats even if they are uncontaminated. The protein, avenin, is similar to that of wheat, rye, and barley. The oats in the US are pretty much all contaminated so I would definitely stay away from those, I would not recommend any though.

hmm now I am confused. She seems to be doing fine with the oats but I don't want her to get sick or lose any weight. Also, she did not do so well on the Rice cereal and I definitely don't want to try barley. It just seems that she needs something more filling than fruits and veggies. Any suggestions?

meat?

It's been a long time since my kids were that age, so I don't remember when they can have meat, but we used to put chicken in a blender and it made this baby food type texture of meat paste, the kids liked it a lot.

Have you tried Avocados? My son didn't like them as a baby, but would eat them if they were mixed with some sort of fruit. I would mash them and then mix them with apples or peaches. You could also blend some chicken or beef in the blender with veggies for her. I wouldn't worry too much about her getting solids right now. My son didn't eat many solids until he was close to a year old.

My kids didn't seem to have any trouble with oats, but I didn't think oats had a heck of a lot of nutrition (I wasn't worried about filling them up, I was worried about making every calorie have nutritive value). I gave them avocado, grilled salmon (very easy for baby to eat if you flake it in tiny pieces), hummous, and tofu. Check out some of the threads about soy, though--apparently it's not as healthy as I'd thought?

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
