Oats themself are gluten free, but are usually contaminated by wheat in the processing. Most oats in the US are grown next to wheat fields, they are processed in the same plants as wheat and the cross contamination is nearly 100%. Plus, many celiac's are intolerant to oats too. Here is a link you can read in this forum: https://www.celiac.com/categories/Celiac-Di...en%252dFree%3F/ Oats bothered me years before I even knew about celiac disease. There are oats now grown specifically for celiac's. Open Original Shared Link They say they are very expensive though.

You can buy gluten free oats at a health foods store but as Deb has mentioned they are expensive. I saw a bag of them for $9 and the bag was very small.

Bob's Red Mill makes gluten-free oats. I found them recently at my local food coop, and I didn't think they were any more expensive than other gluten-free products.

I ate one clif bar a day last week, as I thought clif bars would be gluten free. They are made of oats, but so far I had not noticed a reaction as I didn't eat clif bars too frequently (I started a new job where I need a snack to get me through the day so I started eating them more).

Wow. I had quite a reaction. I also think I got glutened in another way but it was mild and I'm 99% sure the clif bars did it. I should have looked into it more. I went to their website after I realized I was glutened and yep, they say on there clif bars contain gluten. Silly little me. Now I have two boxes of clif bars to give away. :(

No more oats for me!

Your body doesn't look up the ingredients on the food you eat. For some people, the protein in oats is similar enough to the protein in wheat that a raction is triggered. In a similar way, I have not had a noticable reaction to barley when I've accidentally had it (not reading labels closely) but I try to avoid it because I can't be sure there isn't internal damage.

The conflicting info therefore comes from two directions, not all celiac react to pure oats and the likely cross-contamination.

      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 The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one.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.
