Woot!

OK -- so any South African/Irish/English/Greek coeliacs?

I'm Irish, grew-up in South Africa, lived in the States for twenty years, currently live in the UK and am hoping to successfully relocate to Rhodes or Crete later this Summer.

I was born in the UK, does that count?

Haven't lived there except a brief 2 yr spell for going on 20 yrs though...spent most of my 20's in Africa and the middle and far east...

Spent 6 months in rethymnon and xhania when I was 18... and 6 months in Calgary (and they like to think they are the most American city in Canada)

Hey, I'm confused about where I'm from! I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, to British parents, grew up in England, moved to US 23 years ago, and have lived most of my life in Texas. I think that makes me a Texan??

Glad to see you're back on the straight and narrow now!!! ;)

I expect you've found the gluten-free products have improved vastly since you were 8 yrs old :)

My mom is from Northern Ireland, dad is from Northern Rhodesia, and they lived in South Africa (Jo'burg) in the '70s before eventually coming to Canada.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
