I tried some gluten free oats a couple of days ago and I had no reaction to them at all! Has anyone else taken the risk?

There are many, many, many opinions on this topic :)

I have personally done very well with them, but I don't eat them very often. My mom makes me oatmeal/chocolate bars and then I eat a lot. It is so nice to be able to have something else to add to our diet (for those of us who do well with it).

Here are two relatively recent convos on oats that might be of interest to you:

I've been adding the gluten-free oats to various dishes - no problems at all. Haven't had a bowl of oatmeal, though - don't really like oatmeal. I DO like oatmeal cookies and that will probably be next on the list.

The brand I have is from "Gifts of Nature, Inc." - bought it at Wild Oats.

Here's their statement:

1. produced by growers that understand gluten free

2. raised on clean, dedicated ground

3. harvested and transported in dedicated equipment

4. Elisa tested for purity by grower lot and batch

5. processed and packaged at Gifts of Nature's totally dedicated gluten free/wheat free facility

Hello,

i actually live around Boston, Ma and i went the the HealthyVilli meeting just last month, they are the local and possibly the biggest support group that i know of in the country. And the oats subject was talked about. They are considering Oats safe to Celiacs, however there are a few things to keep in mind.

1- Not everyone is going to agree with it.

2- You must buy it from the few companies that have no/low risk of CC (stay away from Quaker Oats or other main stream products)

3- Introduce it to your diet small amounts at a time, because it can cause gluten like symptoms b/c they are loaded with fiber. So you may get bloated all of a sudden and think you might have gotten glutened when in fact its the fiber.

4- Dont over do it (ie eating 20 oatmeal cookies in one sitting, although that would be nice :rolleyes: )

Here is one company that were selling their oats at the meeting.

I also have eaten gluten-free oats without reacting (from www.glutenfreeoats.com), but only 1/4 c. I love oats and oatmeal, so I was wondering what the limit was on how much I could eat, assuming I build up gradually? I'd read that only 1/4 c. a few times a week was recommended, but I'm wondering why? If there is no CC with gluten-free oats and my body doesn't react to avenin, why do I have to limit the amount I eat?

I eat Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats on occasion, but if I eat them everyday they make me naceous. I'd advice starting off in a small quantity and see how you react to them.

      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".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
