For Those That Eat The gluten-free Oats

I seem to be able to tolerate the gluten-free oats quite well. I don't eat them often because of the expense, and I haven't wanted to test how much I can tolerate.

For those of you that have tried the gluten-free oats, how much are you eating per day? Do you find that you can eat them up to a point, but not past? I think the last thing I read was that one should not go over 1/2 cup daily. Well, if I make a batch of cookies and eat a few, I could easily go over that amount. I would also like to increase my consumption to try to decrease my cholesterol.

Input is apprecited.

i think you ought to test the waters a bit. i seem ok eating a bowl of oatmeal every morning (did that for awhile when i ran out of grocery money last month, and had no more cereals). i'd just be aware of how much you're consuming, and watching to see how it affects you. i'd also keep a couple different kinds of cookies on hand, so you're not just eating oatmeal ones :D

I love your quote "The grass is always greener where you water it." I think I may have to steal it for my own personal list of favorites- BECAUSE ITS SO TRUE! ;)

A go by the guidelines. I usually take the amount of oats in a recipie and divide by the number of servings I end up with to determine how many servings of a product I can eat in a day and it is normally more than I plan to eat so I don't find that I have to eat less of a product than I normally would. For example my muffin recipie uses 1 c. of oats and makes 12-16 muffins. I'd have to eat almost 1/2 of them in a day to go over the limit and I only want 1 or 2. Apple crisp uses 1 cup and I divide it into about 6 generous servings. One serving is only 1/6 a cup.

What brand of oats are you guys buying? My doc gave a tentative OK for oats at our house (son likes oatmeal once in a while and it would be nice to have it for oatmeal cookies). However, he said even some of the "gluten free" brands have still shown to be contaminated and he wants me to do my research and get the brand that has the best reputation. So here I am at my favorite site doing "research" :lol: Any opinions on which brand is best?

I eat the oats from glutenfreeoats.com, and have never had any problems. I eat about two to three servings a week, about 2/3 cup each time, with raisins, almonds, fructose, and a little milk....everything's fine!

I eat oats about three times a week. (gluten-free). I do make cookies & desserts from them too. I only have two cookies at a time or a 2 inch bar type dessert.

I eat cream hill estate oats ( Lara's) or from the gluten-free oats co. I don't eat Bob's Red Mill anything as I seem to react to most of their stuff....That one would be the only one I'd be leary of. I think there are others who react to Bob's stuff also.

Only oats has quick oats & I think they are the only ones who has quick oats.

Thanks! That quote saved my marriage :) ...and continues to do so!

I love Lara's oats! I've gone through several boxes since dx. They also have recipes for cookies and such in the box. Was buying the irish ones...can't remember what they're called, but Lara's are cheaper!

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!
