This Stinks..no Oats For Me

I tried Bobs Red Mills gluten free oats a couple of days ago in some cookies. They were great, but I have discovered that I am one who can't tolerate oats at all. That really sucks. I have never had bad symptoms and before gluten free tolerated oats fine. About a 1/2 hr to 45 min. after eating many cookies I had a fullness feeling in my stomach and had sour burps all night long. I was able to sleep after taking a couple of tums. Yesterday I ate two more cookies to "test" my theory and it took a little longer, but the same thing. Then last night I had horrible intestinal cramping and back pain. Sooooo.... no more oats for me. They have also made me constipated which seems a little backwards! :lol: I guess I figured since it has been 7.5 months and my blood work showed healing that I could eat them. For me it was something that I could feel normal with and share with the rest of the family. I just never thought that I would be one to not tolerate them. I would really hate to think if I ate a piece of bread what would happen! :o

Hi Roda,

Sorry for the oats taboo. I would miss them also, although I don't eat them very often anymore. I decided not to eat the oats too much because I know people sometimes say they develop intolerances to things they eat a lot of, not because of a reaction. I used to have them every day. Oatemal with peanut butter, orange, marmalade, and raisins. good stuff. What I do now is eat Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty gluten-free cereal the same way. It's different but is still a hot cereal. Sliced nanners are good in it also. Hmmm, I used to eat oats with salt and pepper, garlic powder and olive oil too. Not Bad.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to make the cookies with the same ingredients, but replace the oats with Bob' MT gluten-free cereal? That would eliminate the oats and you would still have cookies. And on the off chance it was a different ingredient in the cookies that made you react, you would find that out also. Might be simpler to just eat a plain bowl of oatmeal without the other ingredients, after a few days to heal up.

I have read that people have successfully used quinoa flakes. i havent so i won't personally vouch for taste/texture comparisons.

And in my gluten free path....

I too ate BRM gluten-free certified oats at about my sixth month because i too felt so much better i thought they would be fine. but i also had a slight reaction... so i waited...and waited...and waited...

not at my three year mark in one and half months and i reintroduced oats wonderfully. i would do this if i were you. wait a couple years... and then try them out. maybe eat one or two cookies. i think we sometimes feel better but our intestines may not be as healthy as they potentially could be. perhaps oats are hard to digest or something? i don't know for sure. but hopefully you can find some replacement that makes you happy in the event that oats arent ever good for you

lots of luck

Thanks! I am pretty confident that nothing else in the cookies was causing a problem. Oh well they were good while they lasted. The boys will have some oats to make cookies with now. I originally was going to wait a year but I guess I jumped the gun. I'll wait and try then in a couple of years again I guess.

Hi Roda, I recently had the same experience with the gluten-free oats....:(.

I noticed fluid retention first...same as I get with Gluten, and also had some pretty bad fatigue, and irritability, which I think was fluid in my brain, it doesn't just get in the feet, it's everywhere, anyway, I quit eating them and no more problems. I think it relates to the leaky gut and proteins leaking into the bloodstream when we were sick but didn't know what was wrong, and I think this is why some of us can be so reactive to so many things, but I think hannahp57 is right about the possibility of re-introducing them at a later time. Once the gut heals the body might be able to tolerate some of those things again. I will never try to eat gluten though...never! :)

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
