I got this new lotion as a gift and It has oats in it. If I use it, will it do damage to my intestines? Any advise I can get would be great. :(

Oats in general should not bother Celiacs. But, due to the processing of oats, they often come into contact with contamination with wheat, barley or rye, by farm equipment, processing and shipping.

The risk of being glutens by oats in lotion would be slim (in my opinion). I do not buy lotions with oats, just because I want to avoid any additional complications. But it would be wise not to get it in or around you mouth.

Others may have different experiences.

Now me, I am one of those celiac's who can not have oats either. If I use a lotion or soap with oats in it, I break out in hives. Try a little, and see what happens. If you have no reaction, then it's wonderful. If it worries you, then see if you can exchange it for an oat free lotion.

I"ve tried lotion with oats in it before and I was fine but I'm just afraid it will be doing bad stuff to my intestines or something.

Oats will not hurt your intestines. Oats tainted with cross contamination from wheat may.

I stay away from oats, and would not use a body product that contained it. I tend to be super-sensitive, so for me, it's not worth the risk.

Here's a little infomation on how oats may affect Celiacs

Open Original Shared Link

Some Celiacs can tolerate pure oats just fine--there is a percentage of us that will react to the protein in oats as we would to wheat, rye and barley. I doubt whether the oats used in topical products is pure, though--they are much more expensive to produce. ;)

Like with most everything, reactions will vary from person to person....if you try it, I'd suggest being very careful of getting any lotion near your mouth.

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
