I am new at trying to become gluten-free. It's a process but I am getting there. I love oatmeal for breakfast in the morining and I see that oatmeal from Quaker is a big no ... but is Organic Oatmeal okay? :unsure:

I ususally eat my breakfast at work ... suggestions for replacement to oatmeal will be great!

Thanks :)

First a question, are you diagnosis celiac?

Organic does not mean that it was processed in the fields that did not contain wheat, nor does the processing eliminate wheat in the facility.

Organic does not mean pure for celiacs.

I am not a big breakfast food person. I usually rely on left-overs or eggs and bacon. At work you may need to plan ahead. A corn tortilla with egg, sausage or bacon and cheese that you can zap at work might work. You can make a variety of those on the weekend and put them in the freezer and take them out as you need them. Fruit salad may be doable.

Hope my little imput was helpful.

There are a couple different brands of pure, uncontaminated, gluten-free oats. They can sometimes be found at health food stores. The brand I get is called Gifts of Nature. The other brand can be found at www.glutenfreeoats.com

Some celiacs cannot eat any oats, due to the fact that the oat protein very similair to the gluten protein. I wouldn't try oats right away. Wait until you've been gluten-free for several months, then reintroduce oats to see if you can tolerate them.

I stay away from any oats myself even if they are pure and uncontaminated. Some celiacs still react to the protein in oats and I would be one of those people I am sure.

Organic doesn't mean anything as far as gluten is concerned though. If you have to have them you need to look for brands that are grown, transported, and in a facility of their own because many brands are processed with wheat and therefore they are contaminated.

I tried oats again after being gluten-free for a long time and I got such pains. The gal that runs our health food store got me on cream of buckwheat and I LOVE it.......very similar to cream of wheat, but toally gluten-free. It has fiber too. It is a great start to my day. Barbara

I agree! Pocono Cream of Buckwheat is a wonderful substitute for hot oatmeal for breakfast. I love it! It also comes from a pretty reliable company, Birkett Mills.

My doctor said no I am not celiac but I think my body does not tolerate gluten. I am at 98% gluten free and already the bathroom situation as improved and I have more energy. But the main thing that brought me to here is that I have lost all my hair (alopecia totalis) and have read on a number of sites that gluten could be the underlying problem all these years.

I was afraid to try Cream of Buckwheat becuase of the meantion of 'wheat'. I thought it was a somehow related to the wheat family but will give it a try. I have tried grits and cream of rice but it is not giving me the satisfied feeling that oatmeal gave me. I also like the sound of the corn tortilla idea.

Thank you everyone for your help! :)

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
