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?

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
