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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
