Oats In Stores / Herbs

[ATX]

Hello,

Does anybody eat oats available in the average, non-health food store supermarket? Is there one brand that might be somewhat tolerable, better than the rest? I enjoy eating gluten-free oats that I order online but might give another brand a shot if it is not too much a risk.

Also, does anyone take herbal supplements to help with the GI-related symptoms caused by ingestion of gluten, i.e. bloating, diarrhea, etc. I would like to hear if anyone has any suggestions along those lines.

Thanks fellow celiacs!

Make sure you buy only certified gluten-free oats. All others are considered to be contaminated with wheat. There are a few brands of certified gluten-free oats available now.. So far I've tried Bob's Red Mill and Gifts of Nature, rolled style oats on both. I personally like the Gifts of Nature better but Bob's are much cheaper. I don't prepare them as a cooked cereal, just use them in baking. I mention that because how you use them effects what kind you like.Haven't tried the Cream Hill ones yet.

Thanks for the suggestions.

In the past I have found Only Oats' Maple and Flax to be the most delicious--in fact much better than the usual store-bought oats.

Someone mentioned to me that they eat McCann's, a brand I have seen in some stores, and indeed one foundation recommends it:

Has anyone had success or a bad experience with McCann's?
