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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
