For Those That Are Gluten Free Oat Intolerent

I thought this might be a useful thread for all of us on here that have a gluten free oat sensitivity. I avoid any gluten free oats and products that either does or may have cross contamination from them. Bob's Red Mill was the first product eliminated. Here are two recent responses I recieved from Ener G and King Arthur in response to this question:

Comment: Hello!

I am very pleased with your gluten free line of products. I appreciate the

lengths you have taken to assure the safety and integrity of your gluten

free products. My question is: Is there any chance your products could have

any potential for cross contamination from gluten free oats in your facility

or from the suppliers facility from shared lines or facility? I am extremely

sensitive to even gluten free oats and have had to eliminate gluten free

products because of the cross contamination from them. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

No we do not have any oats of any kind in our facility. Also we purchase

our ingredients from exclusive manufactures. Such as Rice Flour direct from

the rice growers and that is all they make.

Interesting! I have not had any trouble with King Arthur gluten-free flours but I had reactions to Bob's Red Mill products which I attributed to the gluten-free oat CC. Now I am wondering if it's actually due to Quinoa CC instead since I know Bob's process gluten-free quinoa as well (my reaction to quinoa pasta was very violent, worse than gluten).

I did hear back from Betty Crocker to the question in my first post and I feel they failed to answer my original question. I sent them back an e-mail asking them to answer it. I certainly appreciate their products, and have used them a lot. Just wanting to cover all bases.

Thank you for contacting us about gluten in Betty Crocker gluten free mix.

General Mills offers several products that are labeled gluten-free. Please check the

package label for the gluten-free statement on the front/side/back of the package. Only

products that can be verified to be gluten free will be declared as gluten free on the

label. It is important to check the product label each time you purchase a product because

it has the most accurate information about the product in the package.

Because we constantly strive to improve our products′ quality and nutritional value, the

most up-to-date product information is on the package the product is purchased in. For

that reason, we do not distribute product information lists as they could quickly become

outdated. A current list of products on the market that are gluten free can be found by

visiting www.glutenfreely.com [http://www.glutenfreely.com]. It is important to check the

package label before purchasing for the gluten-free statement on the front/side/back of

the package to verify that the package you choose is gluten free.

For products not labeled gluten free, we will always declare gluten containing

ingredients if they are added to the product. If the ingredient declaration lists wheat,

oats, barley, rye, or derivatives of these grains, then the product contains gluten.

Examples of derivative ingredients include: malt, barley malt, organic malt, semolina,

Durham, triticale, and spelt. We do not include gluten containing ingredients in the

′Natural Flavors′ or ′Spices′ on the product ingredient list. If there are gluten

ingredients in our products, those ingredients are always clearly listed.

If there are no gluten- containing ingredients listed in the product ingredient label,

but the product does not make a gluten free claim, it is because we cannot fully assure

that this product is gluten free. While we have not added gluten-containing ingredients,

factors such as sourcing, conditions of manufacture, etc. do not allow us to provide the

full level of assurance that a gluten free claim requires.

Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting your health care

professional or one of these organizations.

Thanks for posting this, Roda! I was thinking of getting something to make for my less sensitive celiac father when he visits, and I'd much rather get something that's oat free as well as gluten-free, so the risk is less for me and my daughter.

Your welcome. :) Sadly, I will be saying goodbye to many many things again. I'm having malabsorption issues again. :(

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
