Yesterday for the first time I mis -read the lable on a box of kix's. I ate 3 pices all excited that I could eat them ... then I realized they contain whole-grain OATS! How could I miss that?! At first I thought I was ok , then a few hours latter I go GI problems and have had them all day today as well. How long do you think it will last? Only been gluten-free for a few mths. Also, are lable's going to have to put in bold aleregies?

Don't feel too bad - it happens to all of us at first. It was a sad day when I realized there was wheat in Red Vines. :(

Oats are not considered one of the top 8 allergens (Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Tree nuts, Fish, Shellfish, Soy, Wheat), so they are not covered under the new labeling laws. Manufacturers aren't required to bold or otherwise emphasize them like they are with wheat. General Mills is a very celiac friendly company as far as their labels go. They clearly label their gluten ingredients (in addition to wheat), so that is something to be thankful for. It doesn't give us more to eat, but it does give us more information with which to make a choice.

Label reading gets easier with time, just keep at it.

Sorry you got sick. Remember though that some celiacs eat oats with no problems, so try not to worry too much. Obviously oats don't work for you right now, but the symptoms will probably pass soon.

Reading lables is hard... but I do feel the new laws help me... still confused by them. Guess I am just getting used to it all. do you think the oats would contain wheat?

Cereals are made with mainstream oats, which are contaminated with gluten grains during growing/harvesting/storing. The only oats that are guaranteed to be free of gluten contamination are grown in dedicated fields and processed on dedicated equipment. To date, I don't know of any prepared product that is made with gluten-free oats. They are available as oats and as oat flour.

It's a bummer, but cereals made with oats are just not safe for us.

It is possible that oats can contain trace amounts of wheat.

I was hoping that I was one of those who could eat oats if not contaminated, so I bought a bag ($$$$$!) of gluten-free oats and made oat scones. Sigh. Guess I can't eat oats no matter what. But since I had already messed up my guts, I went ahead and ate all of the oat scones because they were so good and I was screwed whether I did or didn't. Now if I could just find a use for the rest of them......

Since my reaction my skin is messed up... I am now wondering do I have an alleregy?. I am going to go ahead and see an aleregist to be sure. Yeah I think I'll stay away from the pricey oats as well.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
