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.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
