I found this product in a local healthfood store and it satisfied my granola craving.

Bakey on Main is another granola type cereal that some use. I personally don't care for the Enjoy Life brand "granola".

When you have healed enough and are ready to try certified gluten-free oats, you can make your own granola. It is very easy.

I was trying to find a link to something that could explain it clearly without getting too long but couldn't find what I was looking for at the moment. There are some articles on this site(celiac.com). The short answer is that some with celiac disease still react to oats, even uncontaminated ones, so it is recommended that you wait until you have healed enough, are free of symptoms, have blood tests return to normal, something like that. Sorry I can't be more clear. I waited until I had been gluten-free a year. They recommend that you introduce them slowly and in small amounts to see if you react. Some react because of a component of the oats that is similar to gluten.

Trader Joe's (if you don't have a store near you, I think you can get it online) has really yummy granola-- 2 flavors too!

I just discovered the Bakery on Main granola and absolutely love it. It tastes just like regular granola. I tried several others before this and didn't like any of them.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
