oats have two issues:

1. most of them are contaminated - you can google for 'gluten free oats' to find ones that are produced in fields that aren't rotated with wheat and processed in facilities that aren't shared, but that doesn't affect number 2...

2. as the oat protein, avenin, is similar to the wheat protein, gliadin, about 10% of celiacs react to oats as well.

In addition to the gifts of nature, Bob's Red Mill just came out with certified Gluten-Free Oats in September. They have rolled and steel cut. You can order them from their website or ask your local health food store to order them for you.

The gluten free oats co. in Powell, Wy

Cream Hill Estates from Canada

Bob's Red Mill

Only Oats---- this one has quick oats also.

These are the four that carries gluten-free oats. Be careful with oats. Start out very slowly as some people have reactions to them. I've been eating gluten-free oats for several years now but I still only eat 1/2 cup at a time.

I've just ordered the quick oats for cookies & such. Quick oats are smaller & steamed so they are not hard , much better for baking. You can use the gluten-free regular oats or the steel cut (coarser yet) & use a food processor to make them less coarse but be careful not to get to small or you have oat flour!!!!

I never thought I would say I missed oats...... I'm thankful I don't react to them....

I bought some rolled oats by Bob's Red Mill at Whole Foods, which we haven't tried yet. But they don't say gluten-free on them. Are they not safe? :( I was worried that they were too cheap to be gluten-free... I am going to be so annoyed...

Edit-- Well I went to Bob's Red Mill's website and checked things out, and then looked at my bag of oats, and they don't have the slash over the wheat stalk... So my oats are not gluten-free. I am glad we haven't tried them yet, but I am so disappointed... I wanted to make No Bake Cookies!!!

That's a great idea! I'll have to try that. Also, I made some granola cereal with toasted buckwheat once and I just loved the crunchiness of the buckwheat. Reminded me a little bit of rice crispies.

I did try the Bob's Red Mill oats since they were on sale at my local Ocean State Job Lot, but they made me horribly ill. I strongly, strongly suspect I have avenin reactions and am going to be checked for it later this month. The discussion on the LiveJournal celiac community seemed to confirm that a lot of people have reactions. So, go very carefully with them at first.

I did the same thing, but my husband in all of his infinite wisdom said, "They should be okay."

No Bake cookies are his favorite and the only food that I think he has ever actually made in his life (he's 47). He made them; they looked yummy and scrumpdelicious.

So...with great worry ate one...then another. My son who is the worst of us ate 2. Then....Nothing. Yippee!!!

But next time, I will buy the ones that say gluten-free on them. :lol:

I tried Open Original Shared Link (rolled oats) this summer and had a reaction to them. I didn't try them again until Christmas when I was craving my favorite child hood cookie, which called for oats, but no flour, so I figured I'd give them another shot. I used them again in the cookies and did not have a problem.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
