Hi

I understand from reading this site that ALL gluten should be removed from the diet

Just curious if any kids with gluten intolerance can handle oats..but not rye, barley, wheat etc??

thanks, Kim

boht my kids can eat scottish oatmeal (found it in health food store).

Recently we tried Honeycomb cereal* as I saw they add oat flour and it is the last ingredient, otherwise no gluten. My daughter is very sensitive and shows outward symptoms with cc. So far, neither child has had any problem with it.

* ingredients in cereal can vary between US nad Canada. I live in Canada

The biggest problem with oats is that there is almost always cross contamination with wheat in the milling process. So you can't just get Quaker oats. You have to get either oats from a company that makes only gluten free oats, such as glutenfreeoats.com, or one of the irish or scottish oats brands (not familiar with these but maybe someone can give you some brands to look for). I orders some from glutenfreeoats, but I haven't tried them yet. I figure the only way to find out if I react to the oats themselves or if it's the CC from processing, is to try the completely gluten-free kind at least once.

I tried the certified gluten-free oats and my daughter is doing just fine on them :)

They are expensive so its only going to be an occasional treat... but hey... I like the idea of OATMEAL being a treat! :)

I haven't tried yet. I'm not sure I want to. She never seemed to like oats before, so I don't think it makes any difference to her. Now... my younger son, he might be a different story. I'll wait a while, but may eventually try. I do have some Scottish oatmeal in the cupboard. Dh loves the stuff.

my three girls tolerate oats without a problem----we have the gluten free oats.

Oats would improve some baking. Is McCanns gluten free?

All of the US brands are contaminated with wheat so if you have to eat oats go for ones that are grown, transported, and in a facility by themselves. Some people have reactions to even pure oats so you don't have any guarantee...some people get damage from the protein in pure oats called avenin. I still stay away from oats

I called McCanns and asked this question. They said that they can say that their oats are not processed with wheat but that they cannot say for sure if they were grown along side oats. So I guess there is still some change of CC.

I haven't tried it with Owen and I can't find any oatmeal over here that is gluten-free. I know though that he did horrible with the gerber baby cereal oatmeal before we knew he was reacting to gluten.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
