Oats!

hi,

The well known bone of contention, Oats! in your personal experience are ok for coeliacs or should they be avoided?

I'm not asking for my own benefit as i'm avoiding everything that has the slightest possibilty of causing me a problem! but my mother has some mysterious health problems that i personally believe are coelaics, it is genetic so if i have it and my dad is fine she might well have it too. I've been trying to convince her to go Gluten Free but i think shes holding back because she doesn't want to change her diet that much. Which brings me to oats, she admittably couldn't survive without her porridge in the morning and dislikes the alternatives, and i think if she could still have her porridge she'd be much happier about giving up the rest of her gluten.

Now i hear mixed reports on websites but i'm not sure what to believe so who amoung you can handle oats and who can't?

Hi Rob:

As your mum to try "McCains Irish Steel Cut Oat" for her porridge"

They are grown in dedicated field and not subject to cross-contamination.

That should make her happy. :)

There is also one Canadian company, and one American company that has gluten free oats. However, they are pretty expensive.

If you are from Britian the Irish oats are your best bet :P

1) Pretty much all commercial oats, including McCanns, have been tested to be contaminated with wheat at levels above the 200ppm European CODEX standard. There are a few places, Open Original Shared Link that are set up, throughout the whole process, to provide uncontaminated oats.

2) Even pure, lab grown oats, with no wheat contamination, cause intestinal damage in approximately 10% of celiac patients who appear to be sensitive to avenin, the oat protein which is structurally similar to the wheat protein gliadin. There is no production change that will change this and no way to test this is via a lab test.

Has she tried all the variations of cream of rice, cream of buckwheat, quinoa flakes, millet grits, and various combinations thereof? When made with some milk (or milk-alternative) and vanilla and cinnamon, they can be quite tasty, though the cooking time is definitely longer and a little different than oats.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
