Hi I am new to this forum and to my condition. I was looking for help and info and stumbled on this forum and first I want to say

A HUGE thanks to all of you as I have learned so much reading these posts already and I still have loads to read.

Also sorry if I ask any silly questions along the way.

I do not know if I am celiac or wheat intolerant. I had given up wheat for 6 weeks when I had my blood test done and no way could I go back to eating it for another test it just makes me too ill. It has now been 9 weeks since I gave it up and I am still making loads of mistakes but I feel so so much better.

Right I am off to get reading again! :rolleyes:

Hi, I am new here also! what a Godsend this place is! Just diagnosed two days ago...and February 21st was my first gluten-free day ever.

WOW!!! i felt great all day and again today. I hope it's not a non-related coincidence.

I'm going shopping today for lots of "specialty" items without gluten. I've already found a bunch of "normal" food that doesn't contain gluten, but some bread and crackers would be nice too!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
