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. :(

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
