Oats - Any Statistics?

Hello, I am new here, could not find recent discussions of the topic

I read so many contradictory info on oats RE: gluten free.

Could you please give me feedback to build some kind of statistics - can you / do you eat oats? If yes - occasionally or regularily?

And also if yes - if you could say (optionally of course) if you have any autoimmune disorder associated to gluten intolerance?

Question because of my kid who has nephrotic syndrome (autoimmune) and I found out he is allergic to so many kinds of food that it is a real nightmare to feed him at all.

Eliminating oats would be tough - basically nothing to eat except rice and buckwheats :( So I really would like to have a better idea on how risky could be oats... I mean - not because of contamination with other cereals, but oats as themselves, with their avenin as protein...

Thank you in advance!

I've eaten them regularly and intermittently. I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats, and I've never had a problem. I have Celiac's Disease (not gluten intolerance or anything otherwise.) Hope that is helpful!

I am new to it all and still cannot find a lot of answers to my questions. May be you could explain what is the difference between celiac and gluten intolerance?

I'm self diagnosed gluten intolerant with definite reactions to just a few crumbs of gluten products.. I eat gluten free oats as well. I get them in bulk.. but they are definitely gluten free. I make cookies and have it as cereal sometimes.

Gluten intolerance is the allergy form, I believe, and Celiac's disease is an autoimmune disease. Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

I call myself self diagnosed gluten intolerant because I haven't been tested for genetics or for antibodies... just had a biopsy that came back normal. However I cannot eat gluten. I found that out by changing my diet and I am not willing to eat gluten to have any other tests done now. It wouldn't change anything for me anyway. Perhaps there is a better definition than mine.... :unsure: that someone will post.

This is the definition.. I think

Is it not that (to the doctors).. Celiac is a definite positive test results for blood work or biopsy or genetics and gluten intolerance doesn't return the positive results that the doctors want..but still could be Celiac?

The definitions are confusing, true.

We are also self-diagnosed

10% of celiacs react to gluten free oats. non-specialty oats are almost universally contaminated at levels too high for celiacs.

what about amaranth, quinoa, and teff (even sorgum as a flour)?

ValeriaZ, I found this article that is very much easier to understand, I think and thought you might like to read it. I'm still trying to get this clear in my head too.

Thank you!

Very informative article.

No need anymore to convince me to go gluten-free - we are already wheat, rye and barley free with my kid for appr 2 months (he additionally dairy, soy, and (long list) free).

My main concern is oats. In this article it says oats also bad. :( Other articles on this site say no

If you go to pubmed and look at the research on oats in celiacs, you'll see that, on average, 10% of the particpants eating gluten free oats experience intestinal damage. I don't have time to link the studies for you (10 month old crawling around and all), but you may find it informative to look them up yourself.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
