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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
