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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
