No. Oats are generally considered unsafe due to cross contamination. I would not eat them. There are new oat products coming out that are going to be marketed towards the celiac community. They will be grown, harvested and packed in a gluten-free environment.

On their website it does say that the fruit and nut kind is gluten- free but it doesn't say it's certified. Check bearnaked.com -I am still undecided about whether it's safe. The thing is, my daughter (5 yrs) loves it so I want it to work. I wanted to know if anyone had researched this particular brand because it's the only granola she likes. She has trouble with getting constipated and granola seems to help but I wan to keep her off gluten.

Any other insights are welcomed. Thanks again!

The constipation can be cured naturally with Chlorella tablets. They are in your health food stores. If you look around, there are natural ways of curing every problem. Give her half the dose of Chlorella. Spirulina is also good. Also, more water. Get her a fabulous cup and one of those pump water containers. Give her permission to pump a cup of water out whenever she wants and she will be drinking more than you hoped.

I LOVE Bakery on Main granola! I also can't get my husband to stop eating it (it is pretty pricey). I used to eat a lot of Bear Naked granola before my diagnosis - this is a good substitute.

That granola still has oats; the gluten free label is misleading in this case and I would absolutely not trust it. It may well be the fiber that is making a difference, so hot cereals with plenty of fiber (adding flax meal can help with that, and adding jam can help with taste if she wants sweet stuff), or muffins with flax, rice bran, and high fiber gluten-free flours.

In addition, I just checked their website for this information and they say it contains crisp rice which has malt and is thus it is not gluten-free.

1. Where did you see "crisp rice" on the site? Which site?

2. "Crisp rice" is a possible source of gluten via malt flavor, but is not always.

3. This topic is almost five years old. The information may be long out of date.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
