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!

      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.

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

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. 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!!!
