I was watching the late night news from Regina, and they were doing a healthe segment on a "niche market". It turns out that there is a company here in Saskatchewan called FamePure. It is now 5 companies and a whole army of growers who are going to manufature things made from oats. Oats that are free from contamination by wheat, rye and barley!! B):o:lol:

They are making oat based muffin/bread and baking mixes, maranades etc...all with steel cut, gluten free oats. And is supposed to actually be affordable! They say that this will help Diabetics and Celiacs alike, as not only will they be gluten free, but oats also help control blood sugar.

Shelly Case is helping them get the product line off the ground. She is the author of The Gluten Free Diet and has her own dietary consulting firm in the city. Also, she worked with Regina Area eatery ZEST. Rob Fuller, head chef at ZEST is also a consulting on the FarmPure menu and product line!

This is HUGE!! I am so excited! I hope they get it into stores soon!

This is great news for everyone that can tolerate oats. Newbies need to remember though that the protein in oats does have a similar formation to the gluten proteins. Some of us may not be able tolerate it, paticularly those that are recently diagnosed. When adding oats to our diet we need to add it to our diet in a way that we will easily be able to tell if they are a problem. In other words only add the oats the week you challenge them, don't take any other suspect foods in until you have give them a try for at least 5 days with no ill effects.

How exciting Ryan! It does open alot more choices if you can tolerate them. Good advice Ravenwood. I didn't have oats for a year and tried them little by little and made sure that the oats are safe from cc.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
