I believe I read a thread on here once that said that there is an oatmeal that seems to be ok. It was an Irish name and started with Mc I believe but can't remember. Anyone know what I am talking about?

McCann's.

Oatmeal has been much debated around here, so can eat it, some can't. Do a search and you'll find a whole bunch of different ideas on the subject.

Richard is correct, it is McCann's. It is grown in fields where wheat is not grown, and processed on equipment that is not shared by wheat (these two places are where the contamination usually happens).

However, the problem for *some* is due to the fact that the oat protein is very similiar in structure to the gluten protein. So there are two main issues: 1. potential cross contamination (which McCann's is supposed to be safe) and 2. the similarity in protein structure, which for some people (potentially, those with multiple food intolerances, but certainly anyone else!), activates a response from their body (potentially due to leaky gut)

Hope this helps!

Additionally, McCann's is one of the ones that *has* been tested at over 200ppm of *wheat* gluten. The company themselves says that there is potential for cross contamination and does not recommend their oats to celiacs. It's not necessarily as bad as risking Quaker oats, but still...

I get my oats from www.glutenfreeoats.com. They have gone to great lengths to provide a gluten-free oat.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
