I am a llittle confused on the whole oatmeal topic. Is it alright to eat and if so what brand? I heard that McCanns is good but are all of their products ? I grabbed the instant Maple and brown sugar flavored. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Most oats are contaminated. There is debate whether the oats themselves are a problem or not. Wheat, barley and rye actually have slightly different proteins, and oats, yet a different one. They're just not sure if oat protein is bad for us or not. At least that's my understanding from what I've read on the topic.

I have no problems with McCann's, I use their regular instant oats.

It was Trader Joes Multigrain oatmeal that landed me at urgent care 2 weeks ago after ALMOST being back to par on rice and potatos...I am new and 8 years ago, looked into Celiac after what they called IBS and poo pooed my thoughts on possibly being Celiac. I have not touched (knowingly) any obvious oats, brans, breads, etc for the past 2 weeks and feel like every day I am coming back from the dead more and more. This is wild!! I do not hold out much hope that the 7 vials of blood they took will show anything as from what I see here it is tricky to detect..but I know that the day I ate that oatmeal, I felt as if I had been poisoned.

If it was multi-grain, what were the other grains?

Yes..true. That "contamination" word though is enough to keep me clear of any grain that swells up in water other than brown rice for right now. ;)

I highly reccomend talking to your doctor and doing research before trying oats. Then I would only eat the gluten-free oats from either the Canadaian (cream hill estate?) or Wyoming (glutenfreeoats.com) people. I eat the gluten-free oats from Wyoming and have not had a problem.

our ped gi says that uncontaminated oats are ok. he was in on a study done on oats some years back in denver.

Some celiacs react to even uncontaminated oats. The protein in oats called avenin causes reactions in people because it similar to the protein in wheat, rye, and barley. I stay away from all oats because I do not trust them. It's a big risk so I would rather stay with the definite safe stuff.

Speaking of this, there's a new option for those of us that like oats--Trader Joe's now has certified gluten free oats! I am chowing down on these for breakfast! I am happy to see McCann's is on here, as I was going to be sad that I couldn't have irish oats anymore. :(

The info on products on this thread (except your post) is 5 years old. You cannot assume it is still correct. You should check McCann's for yourself as products change over the years.

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
