Gluten Free Oats From Bob's?

I am wondering if anyone else has heard that Bob's is going to start producing gluten free oats? My good friend works for Whole Foods and was at a natural foods show last weekend. She heard that they will be producing gluten free oats as early as October. Can it be true?? I would love that. I just love his products and would be so pleased if I could eat safe (and affordable) oats again! If anyone else has heard this... let us know!

2 hot buttons here....

Some celiacs react to oats and some studies seem to indicate that even those of us who don't show symptoms may (or not) have reactions. :ph34r:

Cross Contamination. This is probably what they think they're addressing. However, some folks on here have posted difficulties with Bob's on cross contamination on their gluten-free products. I haven't had any problem with them, but I am apparently not as sensitive as others :unsure:

If they are routinely batch tested, I might give it a try, but just the labeling....I doubt it. Oh, and watch out for the "codex" backdoor! ;)

Well, I sure love his products and haven't had any problems with them in the past. I emailed the company to see what the story is and was told that they are not sure when, but are working to find safe oats and are putting measures in place to offer these. I'm so excited! I miss oatmeal so much... not to mention oatmeal cookies!!!!

I eat McCains Oats every once and awhile! Just like you, I "chicken out" sometimes...I would say maybe once every other month, I'll have some McCains...

I Like Bob's stuff, and have never had an issue (that I'm aware of)... so that would be good. As long as it's not in BIG quantity's I think oats for me are OK (minus the CC issue)

Here is the response I got from Bob's Red Mill

Chris,

Bob's Red Mill is not currently producing gluten free oats. It is our hope that we will be able to bring you gluten free oats in the near future. We are in the process of exploring safe sources of oats where we are confident that the proper practices are in place from field to delivery. We will move forward when we feel that we can continue to bring the celiac community the safest and highest quality gluten free foods available.

Thank you,

Cassidy

Cluck, Cluck. I have seen another brand of certified gluten free oats at Henrys' (part of the Wild Oats Chain). I have been to chicken to buy them.

bob's red mill has a dedicated gluten-free area for their gluten free products---so i don't think that CC is a big problem. we use gluten free oats without a problem, and one of my girls seems to be fairly sensitive. we have also used McCain's instant packets without a problem.

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
