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. :)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
