Someone gave me a gluten intolerance group flyer. My son has celiacs, I'm not really sure of the difference.

Anyway, Grits in on their safe list?

Is this true? I just figured bc it was like grains that I should stay away from that and oatmeal, ect.

Can we have grits?? Oatmeal?

(fingers crossed)

Grits are ground corn and, unless you have issues with corn, they are safe for Celiacs.

Oats are a bit different. Due to the high potential of cross contamination in the field and processing, many people with Celiac say away from oats.

You can find some "certified" gluten free oat, that are as free of contaminates as possible.

I don't know what kind of grits you use, but when I called Quaker about a year ago, they did not consider them gluten free due to cross contamination.

Quaker have some specific cross contamination issues with their products. While their products are not safe, I would not generalize about similar products from other manufacturers. As Lisa said, grits would be safe, except for any contamination issues in specific cases.

Sorry, maybe my wording was poor, but I was only referring to Quaker and mentioned it specifically in case that's what Aeman56 was going to use. :) I did not mean for my statement to include all brands of grits.

Does anyone know of a brand that is considered safe? I love grits and Quaker definitely causes me problems.

These grits are stone ground and they are, with out a doubt, best in the world. They are are not instant grits and they take time to cook, but once you've gone here, you'll never go back :P

I cook mine with chicken broth and add havarti cheese or smoked gouda at the end, served with sauteed shrimp. Just don't get any better!!! ;):lol:

I love grits too. Bob's Red Mill came out with gluten-free certified corn grits this summer. If you can' get them locally you can order them through online.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By cristiana · Posted

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!

      I had been off of gluten for 3 months due to food testing came back that shows gluten intolerance. I had asked my health care provider that I wanted to be tested for celiac before stopping gluten. Once they actually listed it shows my immunoglobulin A was really elevated and on the AB, IGA part showed <1.0. Would this be a false negative given I had not gluten in months? I’m very frustrated that the the test was not done while eating gluten.
