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 have been eating and enjoying the oats for about 2 weeks now! I love them and have not been sick.

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?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
