Hi, I am new to the forum (actually this is the first forum I have ever used)

I am wondering if any have tried the "Only Oats" quick flakes. It states that it is wheat free - I saw on line that it said it was safe for Celiacs. I am so leary of trying this item.........help!

Thanks all.

I am new to this as well. I just got diagnosed 2 weeks ago and miss my oatmeal, so hopefully someone can answer it. My naturopath did mention that cooked Quinoea tastes very similar.

Good luck :)

Sometimes wheat free does not mean gluten free. You might want to see there is no barley or rye or malt in it. I am actually not familiar with this product but that should help you out.

I have a box of that stuff, but haven't tried it yet.

It is really just oats, there's no other ingredient. The reason they call it "Only Oats" is because it's produced in a dedicated field (not crop rotated with wheat, barley, or rye), and processed on dedicated lines. Hence, if you are one of the 90% or of celiacs who do not react to avenin, the oat protein, you'll should be fine.

Is it really 90% that don't react? Just wondering if you've seen a study that shows that number.

I got that out of my own meta study - around 10% of patients either having actual findings or dropping out of the study due to symptoms (about which I made my own conclusions), but have seen it quoted by real ceilac researchers. A lot of studies are showing no damage, or only small changes or symptoms, but generally no statistically significant change in serology or biopsy. I can't find the studies that I'd read before, though. If I come across them again, I'll post them.

I've been eating oats since the beginning of gluten-free oats several years ago. Here is what I was told. Do not eat oats for at least a year after going gluten-free. Give your body a chance to heal itself.If you are super sensitive do NOT eat oats....

The next advice was to take it very slowly when starting to add oats to your gluten-free diet. 1/2 cup per serving maybe a couple times a week at first. After over two years I still only eat 1/2 cup dry oats cooked in 1 cup water until liquid is asborbed sveral times a week. This will most likely make a change in your bowel movements because of the added roughage from the oats.So GO SLOWLY.

I believe there are four gluten-free oat companies now... Only oats, gluten free oats ,Powell Wy,

Cream Hill Estates, & Bob's Red MIll gluten-free oats.

I react to some of Bob's products so I don't eat those ones.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
