Oat Flour

Ok, so I had an "I need this!!" attack yesterday and bought Cap'n Crunch. It looked mostly ok but I was wary of the oat flour. I've decided that I'm ok with oats so I thought I should be fine. I'm wondering if the lovely state of discomfort I'm in today is a result of the oat flour or if I should investigate the rest of the stuff I ate yesterday. I know that the cereal can't be considered gluten free since it's processing but I was curious about the ingredient itself. Thanks for the help :)

Sorry hun but Cap'n Crunch is not gluten free. Commercial oats are contaminated from the harvesting equipment and storage. Unless a product uses certified gluten free oats, it's not gluten free. Then there are the 10% of celiacs/gluten intolerent that can't even eat the pure certified gluten free oats. I am one of the one's that can't tolerate them. I get the same reactions as if I ate wheat, barley, or rye.

*sigh* I had a feeling :) So, all oats are considered non-gluten free? I thought that some people could handle commercial oats and some couldn't. I must have been thinking of the fact that some people can't handle "gluten free" oats. That's so much worse! lol Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

i have never tried gluten free oats yet -2 years into going gluten free. I have a bread recipe that calls for oat flour. Should I make sure I can tolerate oats before trying oat flour? Are all oat flours naturally gluten free? If I can toleratae oats is it safe to eat them every day? I used to eat oatmeal every morning- love it!

I finally tried gluten-free oatmeal when I had been gluten-free for 9 months. Seemed to do fine with it...and yes, I used to have it frequently for breakfast but don't want to push it yet by having it too often. I also had oatmeal a couple of times this week without a problem. I think you can pretty well assume oats are not safe unless they are specifically gluten-free. Regular oats are not safe due to cross-contamination.

Also, I do have a bread recipe to try that calls for oat flour. When I get around to it, I plan to grind some of my gluten-free oatmeal to make into flour as I don't want to buy yet another bag of flour.

Why don't you test it by having a bowl of oatmeal and see how you do. From what I've read 10 to 15% of celiacs can't handle oats (even the gluten-free variety).

Ya know I had the GlutenFreeda (I believe) brand of instant packets in my hand today at the market and chickened out. I thought about it and did not want to chance being in pain on Mothers Day -i will buy them next week. Maybe I will be one of the lucky ones that can tolerate them. I have asked my GI about trying them and he said I am playing with fire but I know celiacs that eat them fine.

Good idea about not trying a new product right before a holiday! A major holiday for us mothers. Since you've been gluten-free for two years, it would be a good time to try them. Hopefully your GI is wrong. I bought mine in Oct. but didn't try it until Jan.

I've always like the old-fashioned oatmeal (not instant) so I bought Bob's Red Mill - the kind that takes 10 min. to cook. So far, so good, so I'm hoping you'll be able to have oatmeal again, too. I really did miss it.

If you are new to the diet you may want to wait until you are well healed before you try oats. When you do the best way to try is to have the item at least once a day for a week. It can take a while for a reaction to build up and you want to know for sure one way or the other.

smc said that she had been gluten-free for two years so I figured it was a good time to try them. For myself, I'm content to have oatmeal occasionally...don't think I'm brave enough to have it every day though.

I missed that. I agree if she/he has been gluten-free for that long then it would be time to try if oats are really missed.

      Gluten Allergy

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6. Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok. P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together. Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance. If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac...

      @Rejoicephd, I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my severe deficiency quickly. It's safe to do this. I felt much better once my Vitamin D level was about eighty ng/mL. Vitamin D works as a hormone and helps calms the immune system between 80 - 100 ng/mL. High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation Can Correct Hypovitaminosis D Prior to Total Knee...

      Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through!

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Yes, that seems to be the gist. Quantifying residues in fermented foods and drinks seems to be difficult. There are no tests for total gluten, just immunoassays, which generally detect a single epitope. There are estimated to be approximately 50 sequences that evoke a T-cell response of which nearly half are unknown and have no test. Gluten fragments...

      Gluten Allergy

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty, I really appreciate all the feedback. I have had 2 biopsies of my small intestine that are negative for celiac disease. I have not had the genetic testing though, so that is something I will look into, since the biopsies were done without a prior gluten challenge. I tried one once before an allergy test and was sick for days...

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6.  Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok.  P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together.  Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance.  If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac, then all the B vitamins will be poorly absorbed.  Taking a B Complex in addition to extra thiamine (Benfotiamine) is safe.  The B vitamins and Vitamin C are water soluble.  Any excess is urinated out.  I took a B 50 Complex twice a day to increase absorption.   Try taking Magnesium Threonate (Neuro-Mag by Life Extension).  Magnesium Threonate can get into the brain easily.  The brain needs magnesium, too, but other forms don't cross the blood-brain barrier as well.   The first time I took Magnesium Threonate, it felt like my brain relaxed.  I highly recommend it.   How's your Vitamin D level?

      Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through! I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my last blood test so I know I’m back to being deficient there (it did go up for a while but back down again). Whomp whomp. So I’ll be both reading about and taking vitamins. Thanks again for your input. Really appreciate it.

There are estimated to be approximately 50 sequences that evoke a T-cell response of which nearly half are unknown and have no test. Gluten fragments remain that bind to IgA and IgG in vitro but this does not necessarily make them immunotoxic. Also, the fragments are "drastically reduced" by gastrodudenal digestion. PEP enzyme cannot cleave all proline sites and there is a large variation in the amount of residual gluten in gluten reduced beers. I.e. the safety of gluten reduced beer is uncertain.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty, I really appreciate all the feedback. I have had 2 biopsies of my small intestine that are negative for celiac disease. I have not had the genetic testing though, so that is something I will look into, since the biopsies were done without a prior gluten challenge. I tried one once before an allergy test and was sick for days. I do know that I don’t easily methylate my b vitamins but have to be careful taking methylated versions as they give me too much energy and I can’t sit still or sleep.    I also prefer magnesium glycinate but I only take it in the mornings because I have to take it with food to avoid stomach upset. I’ve often wondered if I have leaky gut syndrome and my symptoms indicate yes. I appreciate hearing what works well for you. I think I’ll focus on benfotiamine and see if I can tolerate it and/or it makes a difference. I really need to find a good nutritionist or naturopath. I’ll keep looking. In the meantime, thank you for your support!
