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. :(

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium).

      @knitty kitty thank you for replying so quickly! I have not done well at all taking vitamins or supplements, I have such a hard time swallowing even small pills, so I have resorted to crushing them and taking them with Gatorade. Pretty much I eat baked chicken tenders, Fairlife chocolate protein shakes, gluten free crackers. Thank you so much for the advice...

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think, I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when...

      Oh, my dear!  Get off that Fairlife chocolate protein shake!  That's got milk in it!  Egads! Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  If the villi grow back, they can resume making lactase again.   I react to casein and lactose both.  I get sores in my mouth and coated tongue, and inflammation, my Dermatitis Herpetiformis flares up, I get cold sores or shingles, and TMJ pain, well, joint pain in general, and my brain health is really affected, depression and anxiety.  So dairy is a really scary horror movie.     I take Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD  (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These have anti-viral properties.   I've had chicken pox/shingles, and I also harbor the cold sore herpes virus which traveled to one eye through a nerve. It's broken now.  I had really bad nerve pain in my check at the time, then it turned into Bell's Palsy.  Thiamine TTFD helped clear up the dysphagia I was also experiencing then.  I took lots of Lysine to fight the herpes viruses as well.  Between the Thiamine TTFD and the Lysine, and avoiding dairy, mine stays dormant for the most part.   I also take a B Complex, and Magnesium Threonate to help the Thiamine TTFD work, Vitamin C, Vitamins A and D, and Zinc supplements to help Thiamine TTFD fight off those viruses. I have Sjogren's so I understand dry eye and mouth.  I found including Omega Threes, healthy fats, improved my problem.  You know how oil floats on top of water?  That's going on in our body, too.  Flaxseed oil supplements, and flaxseed oil to use on food is one way I increased my Omega Threes.  Choline and sunflower seed oil supplements are other choices I've tried.  Eat real food!  Eat fresh vegetables and fruit!  I had cooked stew in a crockpot until super mushy so I could chew and swallow it without lots of pain.  I got a bag of mandarin oranges, Cuties, whatever they're called now.  They're not too acidic.  Gluten free crackers don't have any nutritional value, no vitamins.   I followed the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  The book The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne has been most helpful.  She's a Celiac herself, and the diet has been shown to improve intestinal health. I have seen liquid vitamins on line.  Thiamine TTFD comes in a capsule, but tastes really strongly of garlic, so be prepared if your Gatorade tastes funny.

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium). This does not bode well for good oral health or good health in general.  It can take two years or more for good healing of the lining of the small bowel after adopting a consistently gluten free diet. In the meantime, adding in good quality supplements can help compensate for poor nutritional absorption efficiency. Common over the counter vitamins and supplements are often optimized for shelf life rather than good assimilation/utilization by the body. We commonly recommend that those struggling with nutritional deficiencies start taking high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of E daily, D3, Zinc and magnesium glycinate. They need to be checked to make sure they are gluten free since wheat starch can be used as a filler in pills and vitamins. Costco Kirkland Signature and Nature Made brands are often good choices. What is causing your swallowing problems? Is it the thrush?

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think,  I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when I thought I had a sinus infection. So I got a z pack. Then I noticed my tongue was coated and it was white except right down the middle which was more brown and crusty, like the corners of my mouth. I also have dry mouth and I went way too long before I started treating it. So then I had some kind of huge pill and Nystatin mouthwash. My mother in law's new husband ( they live upstairs) started complaining of exactly the same symptoms as me. He went to urgent care, they said it wasn't thrush, it was shingles. We both went to our dentist's for cleanings, I don't have insurance so I really couldn't tell they cleaned my teeth at all. But she said my mouth looked good, all cleared up. I had a day and a half of no pain and then it came right back. So I got more pills and miracle mouthwash. There are times it feels like dry socket and times it feels like it's bleeding but it's not. I don't see any gum or facial swelling, I did see a couple of tiny ulcers on my bottom lip, roof of my mouth is still sore, and my tongue and cheeks are still a little coated. I am just at a loss. My mother in law's husband, they  took swabs and called back a week later and said it was a new herpes variant virus that is going around but not contagious. He was cured after a week! And I'm going on 3 months 😭
