Eating gluten-free Oats

Well, I thought I would let everyone know how my experiment is working. I ordered gluten-free oats from the company in Wyoming. I have had oatmel for breakfast and oatmeal cookies. I have been eating them for almost a month. No reaction.

I am NOT recommending you eat oats. Eating oats is a personal decision that each of us makes after doing the proper research. I only wanted to share my experience. Please keep in mind that others have tried gluten-free oats (I think they were from Canada) and did NOT have a good experience.

Just because you aren't having symptoms doesn't mean you aren't reacting.

True. However, I usually am very sensitive. I will be doing bloodwork in the next month as well. I think my doc would also like to do another endo but we are in discussions about that.

Some people get intestinal damage from even pure and uncontaminated oats. You see, the protein in oats, avenin, is similar and some react to it so if you eat oats I would recommend getting a followup bloodtest or biopsy(whichever way you were diagnosed) to see if you are in fact doing damage.

Kati,

You are so right! It was one of the many issues that came up when researching whether or not to try oats. Again, I am not advocating that everyone rush out and try oats. There are a ton of issues that you need to research and figure out with your doctor what is best.

I think once truly gluten-free oats reach the public in decent quanties we will find out for sure how many ppl are bothered by oats. Ppl quote numbers from 10% to over 50% of ppl with celiac disease sposedly having a problem with oats... I tend to believe its closer to the 10% number and just an Oat Intolerence rahter then the protien being simular... the trouble is how do you know for sure if your one of them or not?

I have a little bit of oats almost everyday. As I test the cereal for my son on my lips to see how hot it is. When I say a dab of cereal its almost miniscule. I dont know if its hurting me. I dont feel any different. But maybe overalll that is why I dont feel very good. I am trying to keep my son gluten free.. the only gluten he eats is his oatmeal in the morning. otherwise he strictly stays to the diet.. and he will until we can prove he is safe, which I dont put much into the docs.

So I am not doing him any favors am I... sheesh.. sometimes you really have to write (or type) things to see in black and white what you are doing wrong.

The studies I've referred to give a number that's around 10% (a bit under), and suggest that it's not an oat intolerance, but its a similarity in protein due to elevated serum antibodies and celiac-characteristic intestinal damage found on biopsy. (This was a study specifically aimed at looking at the oat question.)

I have an appt with my gi doc in several weeks. I will let you know how this goes. It will be interesting to see the numbers. I also will enjoy the appt. I know my gi doc would like to do another endo. I think I would just prefer the blood test.

My daughter has been eating the oats for about 3 months and has had no reactions. She had bloodwork done 2 weeks ago and her numbers actually look much better than they had in previous blood tests. She has been gluten free for 4 years and has her blood tests once a year. This was the best one yet!!!

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
