I was excited to buy bob's gluten-free oats. I got the steele cut oats.

The first time I tried them I got gassy and had some gurgling...wasnt dure if it was the oats or something else, so I waited a couple weeks and tried them again today, differant reaction : I got D for the first time in like 3 or 4 months!!! Not to be graphic, but it came out yellow and foamy! :ph34r:

I used to eat oatmeal every morning for so many years. Initailly when I went "gluten-free" and dint know that oats were a "no no" I was still eating them and noticed they didnt bother me as much as wheat, but once I took them out of my diet, thats when my symptoms REALLY disapeared. I guesss I just can't tolerate oats. I actually didnt mind the D too much since I've been dealing with constipation...(isnt that a horrible thought?) lol.... but I'm just glad I had off from work today- the cramps were not very friendly!!

Yes, I got sick from them too. I don't think that it was from contamination because I was very sick.

My son had the same reaction. It says on the package that some celiacs react to the protein in oats

and we seem to be in that group of celiacs. Lucky us. We were both sick for about 3 weeks. It will

be a problem as gluten-free oats become more available because companies making gluten-free foods won't be trying

to avoid cross contamination with gluten-free oats, just gluten. My reaction to them was the worse I've had

since going gluten-free 8 months ago.

the avenin protein in oats is somewhat similar to gliadin in wheat. approximately 10% of celiacs will react to it.

You're not alone. I've had a similar response to oats on several occasions. It is a real shame because I love oats but they don't love me!

I eat them quite often and also use them for cookies without any problem...I was diagnosed less than a year ago and added them to my diet gradually....once a week at first to check for a reaction. I guess I am one of the lucky ones :rolleyes:

thanks for the replies.

I may try them just ONE more time down the road when I know I'll be home and not doing anything. I didnt get sick for weeks, but had D for hours, just one day...I went back to my constipated self the day after :huh: its like my body instantly rejected them....

I also have had the constipation problem my entire life, even before being diagnosed lactose intolerant, and this past year, a multitude of intestinal problems....milk, soy, gluten, casein, etc. Lack of fiber is not the problem...I exist on fiber. I have discovered that my system responds very well to a daily breakfast or snack of Perky's Nutty Flax cereal. I've tried bread with flax in it, and that didn't work as well as the cereal. Flax is a natural laxative......and for me, it works. It does not cause me to have diarrhea, nor does it cause intestinal cramps.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
