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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
