Certified gluten-free Oats

Hi all:

Well it's Sunday and I made a loaf of oatmeal bread for the week.

As an experiment I used Quaker rolled oats to see if I would get a reaction and I have.

Wheat makes me stomach sick/and gives me the big D as well as making me miserable all over.

Barley, rye and now oats I know have the effect of making me very tired and giving me those neurpathic chills up and down my limbs and making them feel very heavy. I will give this loaf of bread to my neighbor and I will give the Quaker oats to one of my work mates. It'll be out of the house.

In the meantime, I would love to hear some comments on which certified gluten-free rolled oats are your faves so I can remake this loaf of very yummy, chewy oatmeal bread (it had flax seeds in it as well ... :( ...) and have it not give me a reaction.

It was a stupid move on my part, I know, to try Quaker oats but now I know that that oats do have that effect on me as well as the barley and rye. Wheat is still the main killer for me ... hateful stuff.

I never eat oatmeal but I love to bake with oats and I will love to hear some of your fave certified gluten-free oats.

Thanks for your recommendations,

~Allison

It is reported that appx. 10-15% of celiacs react to certified gluten free oats also. I am one of those. I was 7 months into the gluten free diet when I decided to try them. I used Bob's Red Mill. They were very good..no they were GREAT! Oh how I missed oats. I made these cookies with them in and I was in heaven. However, the good feeling was short lived. If you try them they are very good just go slow to see if you are going to react. If all is well, ENJOY!!

I've tried Bob's REd Mill and Gifts of Nature. Loved the Gifts of Nature! Great flavor! Bob's was cheaper last time I bought them and OK and what I currently use.

Thanks Roda and Missy's Mom.

I should own stock in BRM.

It's the main part of what is in my freezer!!

I'll look for those next weekend and see what they do to me.

I am hoping they will be okay.

I really like making oatmeal bread, and this bread was so good!!

Thanks again,

~Allison

My friend (who also has celiac disease)can have gluten free oats, but I cannot. They make me very, very sick. I hope for your sake you can have them. It would be nice to have oats again. Someday in heaven perhaps...

Have you guys tried baking (like cookies) w/ Bob's certified gluten-free oats? They take so much longer to cook than even the not-instant Quaker oats... I was wondering how they are in cookies, etc?

They work amazingly well in oatmeal cookies - since they ARE a little thicker than say, Quaker Oats, I turn the oven down about 25 degrees to what the recipe says and let them cook a little longer. I made two batches of these in the last few weeks : Open Original Shared Link and I gotta say they are pretty spectacular.

I'm even fiddling around with the recipe to make it a bit healthier and try my hand at making a breakfast cookie for the mornings my husband and I don't have time to eat breakfast with silverware! (Not that we didn't just go ahead anyway a few times and eat these for breakfast...)

I am really hoping that I won't be one of the gluten intolerants that have a problem with oats.

But I will get some BRM gluten-free oats and see what happens.

I'll let you all know :)

But I am crossing my paws,

I use the Bob's in baking only-muffins and apple crisp topping. Sometimes give them a short whirl in the food processor to make them closer the the old Quaker "quick" oats. Also, some recipes call for oat flour so again, I whirl them until floury.

Oh please share the breakfast cookie if you make it! I have one of Elana's almond flour muffins every morning with fruit. These freeze well but, I need a change of pace!

      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.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

      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 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!!!
