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.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
