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!

Saturday we started her on Oats ... she has never had gluten

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?

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
