Steel Cut Oats Replacement?

I just discovered steel cut oats but am going to go back to gluten-free. What grain would be a good replacement for it? I am cooking 1/2 cup oats with 2 cups almond milk and spices in the crockpot overnight and it is really good. Does anyone have any recipes like this but with another grain?

What does it taste like? Would it work well with sweetner and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg? What would the ratio of dry to liquid be?

How about gluten-free steel cut oats? Bob's Red Mill makes them.

By the way, that sounds really good. What spices are you using?

I was going to suggest the Bob's Red Mill gluten free steel cut oats as well. Have you tried gluten free oats to see how you handle them? I use the Bob's Red Mill gluten free oats all the time.

I haven't tried the gluten-free oats. I was just assuming they were off limits. Skylark, I made some with cinnamon and nutmeg and chopped up a fresh peach in it. It tasted like peach pie. I have seen recipes using cardamom, but I don't have any. Add sweetner after it's done and it cooks 7-9 hours on low heat, using a small crockpot. Here's a link to lots of interesting recipes, many of which are gluten free.

Only about 10% of celiacs react to the gluten free oats, so after you've had a few months gluten free to heal you should try them to see how you do.

I eat the Bob's Red Mill gluten free steel cut oats with no problem. I think buckwheat groats might work, too.

Do you all think the gluten-free steel cut oats would be okay to eat at the begining of the diet?

I have mixed feelings on this. I was eating gluten-free steel cut oats until my dietitian said I should not for two years post celiac diagnosis. She and I both attended a lecture by a leading celiac expert in Canada who said it is proven that the gut in those with celiac need at least two years to heal before introducing oats. I love oats... but am waiting 1.5 years longer to be sure. :(

What? Either you misunderstood or this "expert" is not expert.

What's in the medical literature is a recommendation that newly diagnosed celiacs avoid oats until their bloodwork is back to normal. This is so that you can reintroduce oats and be tested six months later to be sure you're not making antibodies again from the oats. This is very conservative and it hasn't been "proven" that all celiacs need to wait, nor is there any specific time period in which oats are a problem.

The gastroenterologist said it is a fairly recent discovery and it actually not related to gluten but strictly due to healing of the gut. She has been tracking celiacs who eat/do not eat gluten-free oats and has found far more rapid healing in those who do not. She is known to be one of the biggest celiac advocates around and was one of those involved in recent studies about the low percentage rates of correct biopsies (39%) done in Canada. I have been hearing about this two-year thing more and more lately. (If I find this info online I will post as I like to back things up and do not intend to mislead anyone.)

But what does that have to do with antibodies to the oats? I don't get it? I'll be really curious to read what you turn up. It is VERY clear that some celiacs have a gluten reaction to oats though.

I am out of town at the moment but will look into it in greater detail upon my return. If my handout does not clarify I will speak to my dietitian about it and get her sources as well as I know she deeply believes the same thing. :)

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      By Seabeemee · Posted

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
