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!

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
