Can I still eat Quaker Oats if I was diagnosed with celiac disease?

From Quaker website-

Because oats are grown, stored, and transported in bulk, they may contain trace amounts of wheat, rye and barley. USDA grain standards allow a certain percentage of other grains to be present in the oats. Therefore, gluten may be found in oats, even if very small amounts of these other grains are present. ( Open Original Shared Link )

So... While oats can be grown, harvested and processed in a manner to qualify as gluten free, quaker oats are not. I also find that I can only tolerate a small amount of oats in my diet even though they are certified gluten free. Talk to your doctor about eating oats. Good luck.

You can't have regular oats like Quaker becuase they are contaminated with gluten but there are several brands of gluten-free oats on the market - Gluten-Free Oats, Cream Hill Estates, and Bob's Red Mill are a few brands.

Keep in mind that certain people just cannot digest oats. I have a gluten intolerance and cannot eat Quaker Oats, they give me terrible neurological problems. I have tried the steel cut/supposedly gluten-free oats and do not care for them. We each have to find what does and does not agree with us and oats is very controversial in the gluten-free world.

New to this. May I ask what you mean by Neurological problems when you eat Quaker Oats. I don't seem to have any problems with them.

thanks,

I was told not to eat oats for 6 months and then no more than a 1/2 cup a day.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
