Gluten Free Oats

I was wondering if anyone has problems with some brands of gluten free oats but can tolerate other brands. I am leaning on the fact that I probably can't tolerate oats and that sucks! I know some celiacs can't tolerate them, but also alot do. I figured I would be one who could. Just goes to show you never know. Would trying a different brand make any difference?

I decided to try oats for the first time in 7 1/2 months. I have been feeling great and my ttg was negative two months ago. I bought Bobs Red Mills certified gluten free oats. I made apple spice cookies. I have to admit I was a glutten and ate about 7 cookies. They tasteted soooo good. About a half and hour or so later I felt like my stomach was full. Then I started belching all evening long. I didn't have the burning sensation just sour when I would burp. My intestines were rumbling also. I took a couple of tums and went to bed. I used to eat oats before gluten free and seemed fine with them. I ate them occasionally and never had any problem with the fiber. To me this seems a little more than not being used to the fiber. For example if I eat black beans they cause me to get bloated and gassy and I know the brand is gluten free. It is just me not used to that amout of fiber in the beans. I don't get heartburn or burp with them either. There was alot of cinnamon in the recipe and it is large quanties can give me heartburn. However, I find it a little suspicious that I felt fine all day and after eating the cookies I had this problem. I don't feel too bad this morning just a little burping and rumbling in my tummy. I am probably going to try just eating a bowl of the oatmeal in another couple of days to see if the same thing happens and then I'll know for sure. Thanks

I have only tried the Bob's Red Mill Oats as you did, and I wasn't impressed, to tell you the truth. Although I can't say that I noticed any adverse reactions, I will say that I did not like the taste of the oats. Admittedly, I haven't had oats since my diagnosis, which was over ten years ago, but I don't remember oats tasting like Bob's Oats. They had a funny taste that I cannot put my finger on........the best way I can describe it, is that they taste very "earthy" at not much like oats.

I might have simply gotten a bad batch, but the taste alone, made me think that I'm not THAT desperate to have oatmeal in the morning!

Oh, man, I tried regular Quaker Oatmeal a while ago and did I ever get sick. I like the BRM oats okay, but they take a long time to cook. I decided maybe just to be oat free to be safe. I am gluten intolerant and can get away with some French fries that have been cooked with other things and low risk stuff like that if I don't do it often, so was surprised at the reaction to the oatmeal. I get neurological problems as a reaction to the oats.

However, if you like cream of wheat, then try cream of buckwheat, it is wonderful in the winter. Buckwheat is actually a berry, so no problem for us that eat gluten-free.

I get the same reaction when I eat those oats...I tried the Rolled oats and the Steel cut oats...Same reaction to both...I never used to have a problem (pre - celiac) with oats (Quaker)...I keep tryin to eat the Red Mill because I like them...but I just cant stand the misery they bring to my gut..

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By cristiana · Posted

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      Quaker Instant Grits, gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain
