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 The information may be long out of date.

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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
