Bob's gluten-free Oats

So are Gluten free Oats (specifically Bob's) safe for ALL Celiacs? I thought I read something about some celiacs (25%???) reacting to gluten-free oats not because of CC, but because the oats themselves caused a gluten or gluten like reaction.

I bought the Bob's for hubby, but now they are calling for me.

I like oats too. What you said is true but you won't know until you try. So, if you've been gluten-free long enough to have healed a good bit, start with a small portion and see how it goes. If all seems well, have a bit more next time. It is receommended to gradually re-introduce. Hope they work out for you!

A tip on baking with the Bob's: You may want to give them a short whirl in the food processor. The gluten-free oats seem a bit heartier to me as compared with the mainstream.

Give them a try. There are many celiacs that can eat them. Makes me jelous since I really miss oats. <_<:D I tried these ones after I had been gluten free for 7 months. I reacted really bad. If I acidently eat something contaminated or something with a very small amount of gluten I get heartburn fairly quickly. I had cookies with them in and I ate about 6 cookies. With in a 1/2 hr I had the heartburn. I was not entirly sure it was the oats, so the next day I ate 2 more cookies. The heartburn kicked in and then I had such pain from gas/bloating I was lying in bed in a fetal position. I took some stuff for the heartburn and gas and it finally subsided. I remained bloated for about five days after with constipation. I have not tried oats since. It's been 5 months since I tried them and I was actually thinking about trying again sometime soon to see if I have the same reaction. If I do, then that will just reinforce to me that I'm intolerant of oats. Good luck.

It's approximately 10% of celiacs who react to avenin, the main protein in oats. There's no way to know if you react to it unless you try it out.

How long is long enough to have healed a good bit? The standard I keep hearing is 6 months, is that about right? I know it is different for everyone, but generally speaking. I've been gluten-free for just over 5 months and I would really like to give oats a try.

I can't find any certified gluten-free oats here in Winnipeg though! If anyone knows of anywhere I can get them I'd love to give them a try :)

Thanks,

Jillian

I'm sorry I don't know the time right off hand. May vary by the individual. Some have alot of damage or were sick many years before gluten-free so need more time to heal. I may have waited as long as a year. I don't remember exactly. I had no problems with them. There may be a resource here at Celiac.com or one of the national Celiac organizations may have a resource. GIG, CSA etc.

They can be ordered online. Gifts of Nature, Cream Hill Estates and Bob's Red Mill are the 3 brands that I know of.

I just got some oats that I need to try. Does anyone have a good gluten-free recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies that I could try them with? I think they are Cream Hill Estates. They are certified gluten-free. Grown in specific fields and such. Anyways, Like I said on a hunt for a good recipe. I have a pitch-in lunch for my newly started celiac disease support group on sunday. I am going to be baking all weekend.

I was gluten free for years before finding Bob's Certified gluten-free Oats. Tried 'em and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!! They take a while to cook, but they are delicious. I only have them occasionally.

My daughter's pediatrician wanted her to wait 6 months and have her follow-up blood work be OK so he knew we were doing well adhering to the diet. So we I patiently waited and after six months I made oatmeal cookies. I gave one to my daughter she took a couple of bites and said she didn't like them . . . <_< . . . :lol: . . . well, she didn't react anyway . . . and it's another ingredient that I can use in my other cooking.

They really can be tasty - if they are taking too long in the morning to cook, can I suggest soaking them? I do this with both the Bob's Gluten Free rolled oats AND (my by far favorite) the Irish steel cut oats. Just toss them into the pan you will cook them in the morning with the liquid you plan to use (I like a 50/50 apple cider & water mix - than I don't need to add any sugar, just a sprinkle of salt and cinnamon) put a lid on it and either place in the fridge or - if you aren't using dairy to soak - just leave covered overnight on the stove. In the morning, just turn on the burner and start cooking.

The harder Irish oats that usually take 20-25 minutes to cook? Completely done the next morning in 5-8. The rolled oats are even faster. Texture is great too.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By Dizzyma · Posted

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
