Is there anyone who does OK with oatmeal? I havent had it since going wheat free but Im wondering if it is safe since it isnt very clear about oats being a problem in celiac disease. I need some whole grains in my diet and Im afraid if I keep eating brown rice Ill develop an allergy to it.

Thoughts?

As far as I know, oats are not OK. The biggest problem is that they are usually contaminated by other gluten. There doesn't seem to be a concensus in the medical community about whether or not they cause damage because the protein structure is different, but I wouldn't chance it.

Try quinoa or other whole grains.

BTW, I love your pic! You're not in Rutland VT are you?

You need to make sure to get the gluten free kind. There is one and it will say gluten free on the bag. The farmer has made sure to grow oats and only oats and to be careful that they are not cross contaminated in any way. Other brands may be cross contaminated.

In the past I have tried www.glutenfreeoats.com and not had problems. However, I talked to my doctor before trying them.

S,

I've eaten oatmeal every weekday morning since being diagnosed two months ago, and haven't had any problems. My doctor said oats are OK, and all the info I've seen say's they're inherently OK. But it's the cc issue that's the potential problem of course. I don't think my doctor knows about that, but other doctors do. One at my first celiac meeting referenced a study (that I've seen somewhere on here) that found wheat contamination in every oat sample tested, even Irish oats.

I'm working on rethinking the whole thing -but slowly!

best regards, lm

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
