Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats - Has Anyone Tried These Yet ?

Hi,

I have seen that Bob's Red Mill has two kinds of gluten free oats, I was wondering if anyone has tried them yet ? If they have are they any good and can you make oatmeal cookies out of them ? I have a Wonderful oatmeal cookie recipe, but its not gluten free, but I was thinking I could use my gluten free flour in place of regular flour and these oats if they are good. If anyone has tried them please let me know I would love to order some if they taste like regular oats.

Thank you

Sue

:D I'm also waiting for someone to try the gluten free oats. Who is going to be the first guinea pig?

I've had the BRM oats, as well as the ones from Gifts of Nature and glutenfreeoats.com. They are all very good. I seem to be able to tolerate them quite well. They are more of an old fashioned oat, so they have more "chew" than quick cooking oats that you might be used to. They work great in cookies. If you do decide to order from BRM and you want to use the oats for cookies, make sure you get the rolled oats and not the steelcut oats.

Good luck on your cookie recipe!

Thank you for telling me to order the rolled oats, I wasn't sure which ones to get. Do yo think BRM oats are better than the glutenfreeoats.com ?

I thought they were both good. The Gifts Of Nature was a little thinner than the Bob's Red Mill one, so it was a bit more like a quick oat in texture than Bob's. The glutenfreeoats.com was in the middle of the two. I rather liked the old fashioned texture of Bob's, but I guess it would depend on what you prefer.

I do hope you plan on coughing up the cookie recipe when you get done experimenting. :)

Colleen,

I plan on ordering oats tomorrow or Saturday, then I'll give my recipe a try.

Here is the recipe

1 pound real butter

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups white sugar

1/4 cup molasses

4 eggs

2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. salt

4 cups of flour (I plan on using either white or brown rice flour)

4 cups of oatmeal

Cream butter, add both sugars and molasses, cream well. Add eggs beat well (1 minute) to mixture blend remaining ingredients.

Bake at 350 on greased cookie sheets. Do not over bake, take out when cookies look doughy.

This recipe makes 9 to 10 dozen (so you could half it if you don't want to make too many)

This are very tasty (I think its because of the brown sugar and molasses in the recipe)

Hi-

I just bought the BRM gluten-free oats and on the back it states that some Celiacs may still have a reaction. I do not understand this. Does this mean there is a protein in oats that resembles the protein in gluten and that the immune system gets activated?

Can anyone explain?

Thanks for any help!!!

There are a few things to look out for with oats, even gluten free ones. The first is that there are a small minority of Celiacs who also end up having an intolerance to the protein structure of oats because it is very similar. The other thing to remember is that even if you can tolerate oats (and as inferred above, most Celiacs can), the recommendation is not to have more than a certain amount per day.

Quote from an article found on allergicliving.org:

The professional advisory board of the Canadian Celiac Association, in consultation with Health Canada, has developed a position statement on using pure, uncontaminated oats. It says that adults with celiac can safely eat half to three-quarters of a cup (50 to 70 grams) of dry rolled oats per day. For children, it

Hi,

I have not tried the BRM, but I have tried the ones out of Wyoming and the ones in the red box....sorry, I know that is a lot of help :D My favorite have been the ones out of Wyoming. I used my regular old chocolate chop oatmeal cookie recipe and just subsitituted with gluten free featherlite flour blend and the gluten free oats. In fact I just made a batch last week and took some to work and had several people tell me that I should make and sell them. I really like them. I also just made a pumpkin roll yesterday and YUMMY!!!! I pretty much use any of the recipes I always used and just substitute the flours and don't seem to have any big problems. Hope you enjoy your cookies!

My Fiancee tried the BRM gluten-free Oats and they bothered her, but she seems to be fairly sensitive and I'm not sure we've found all of her triggers yet. But I would be careful with oats in general.

I love the BRM gluten-free oats. I used them to stuff my turkey at Thanksgiving (an old Scottish recipe) and I used them yesterday for oatmeal creme brulee.

I'm sure you've already made these at this point, but from my experience, baked goods (and most things) taste more like gluten-filled goods if the flour is a mix of many different types of flours (i.e. not all rice, not all tapioca, etc.) I've only used premixed flour combos because I only cook for one and don't want tons of different flour bags to go to waste.

How'd these work out?

      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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      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!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
