Who Eats Oats?

I bought a pack of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free 100% pure oats. The description of the growing and processing sounds perfect and they were delicious... after not having oatmeal for 6 years! They looked like kasha (buckwheat groats) and took 20 min. to cook. I didn't eat any more because I wanted to see if I'd react in any way. I didn't!

Anyone eat oats??

I've tried once or twice and my stomach always feels like a brick the next day. But I have issues beyond just gluten too.

I occasionally eat the certified gluten free oats. I have used the ones from BRM, Gifts of nature and glutenfreeoats.com. I seem to tolerate them quite well. My son, however, does not do well with them. If we could both handle them, I would probably use them more.

The leaflet that came with one of the types I bought recommended starting slowly with one serving of 1/2 cup cooked a few times a week, and then gradually biulding up to more often. Don't go all crazy with those oats now. :)

I have tried to re-introduce them several times and just don't tolerate them which is a real shame because I love oats...

I eat them(certified gluten-free only! of course) without problem. We use them in apple crisp topping, although the Bob's, in our opinion, would be better pulsed once or twice as they are thicker than Gifts of Nature. Also add to a bread recipe a small amount of oats that have been pulsed in the processor.

We eat the Bob's gluten-free oats (reg & steel cut) frequently. We didn't have much of an issue because the kids have a pretty high fiber diet anyway. My dd's fav is still the Mighty Tasty gluten-free hot cereal from Bob's.

I could eat oats for the first year I was gluten-free. After one year I started getting the same old symptoms, mainly fatigue. All that cleared up when I cut out oats. I'm not sure if it was because of the oats themselves or because of contamination, but I've been to scared to try again.

I itch unmercifully when I eat oats. I am not a diagnosed celiac but react to them in the same way I react to gluten and eggs. I am puzzled by it all. (never been tested either). I only eat them if I am up to itching, which isn't very often. I'd rather eat eggs if I want to battle with symptoms. It's a tough one because they make such a healthful breakfast....

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
