Has anyone had a reaction to Oat's ? I am suspicious there may be some gluten in them as I have been noticing a reaction similar to gluten products when eaten.

Are you eating regular oats or pure certified gluten free oats?

If you are eating regular oats then yes they are cross contaminated with wheat during harvesting all the way to production.

If you are eating the pure certified gluten free oats then you could be reacting to the protein in the oat itself (avenin). There are about 10-15% of celiacs that can't even tolerate the pure oats because of this reason. Google avenin sensitive enteropathy to learn more.

I am unfortunately in the minority of celiacs that can't tolerate the pure oats. I have horrible reactions. I ate them for the first time 7 months after I went gluten free and it wasn't pretty. I avoided them after that. Unfortunately I never gave cross contamination from them a thought in the gluten free flours/products I was using. I ended up miserable in 2010 for about 8 months. That's when it dawned on me I was reacting to the gluten free oat cross contamination in my gluten free products. I have to source my gluten free products carefully now to avoid this.

I was eating regular oats, and having trouble,I have tried Irish oats, but it has been awhile and will have to try again.

Irish oats have been tested and have too much wheat. If you can find them, Bob's Red Mill makes certified gluten-free oats.

Yes if you do try oats again you need for them to be pure "certified" gluten free. It will state on the lable. If it doesn't state gluten free on the lable don't eat them. Bobs Red Mill does sell certified gluten free oats. This was the brand I tried. They tasted really good, but the after effects were not. :P Bob's Red Mill is really good company and has a separate gluten free facility and they test their products. I however had to give up all of their products. I was reacting to small amounts of oat cross contamination not gluten cross contamination.

Yes, definately gluten-free oats but if you ar new to the diet don't be suprised if they too may pass right thru your system. If this happens, all it means is the body needs a little more mending time. At first I could not eat oats at all, not even gluten-free. 8 months later I can take in small amounts. I read here before that a person needs to allow 2 years for the gut to heal and be able to eat certian foods again.

Thanks, I was diagnoised 8 yrs ago and have been doing good, but had never talked to anyone else with the same troubles, so I just try diff. foods and am glad to be able to discuss with others and see how to make positive changes. Holidays wreck haveck if I let them !

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
