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.

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
