Oats. Don't Think It's Good News.

So made oatmeal cookies last night with that big bag of BRM oats I bought a loooong time ago. Trying to clean out the freezer...

Anyway, they gave me gas last night (no biggie, carbs do that). But this morning I just feel gross and bloated.

This may explain my problem with oat oil in cosmetics. I haven't tried oats on a long time but I used to be able to eat them newly gluten-free.

Sigh. Well, I don't feel glutened just gross. I guess that's better?

Oats is a problem for many. BRM is a problem for me & others. I didn't even think of oats for many years after going gluten-free, mainly because they were CC.. But I have used Lara's oats& Oats from Wyoming with no problem...Both gluten-free...But to this day I can only eat 1/2cup maybe twice a week & that's it...

I think the rule for oats is no oats for at least two years & then very little... So this week I had oatmeal cookies so no breakfast oats...

Stats say that about 10% of celiacs can't eat oats, even gluten free ones. Is there anything else it could have been?

No. Didn't do anything else yesterday. Cooked every meal with fresh meat and veggies...nothing I haven't eaten a million times.

Slight chance the weather may be part of the yuck (windy) and I didn't take an allergy pill last night so I could test the oats - but it's more than just yuck - its a very distinct feeling in my stomach (allergies don't do that to me).

And the gas. Ick.

I'm taking an allergy pill. Screw this.

I bought them when I first went gluten-free. Put them up til now (I'm right at one year). They're just occupying space do I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Yuck.

There was 1 1/2 c in the whole recipe and half of them are left and my son ate half of what's gone...

They were even low sugar (I used honey and date sugar).

I had gluten free oatmeal cookies two days ago, sold in the local market,and wow. Terrible idea. Not only did I get terrible digestive glutened symptoms, I went completely bonkers. Anxiety through the roof. Anger and irritation the same. Marked aggressive impulses. That was not a good idea. So I know where you're coming from. <_<

Wow. Now you know what to eat if you ever want to join Fight Club.

I took an allergy pill and passed out for 3 hours (oops). Feel better (of course) but running late on my day....crap.

That's not good :-/ I really hope it's the allergy and not the oats, because it would be a shame to cross them off your menu. Are you going to try them again soon?

So many people are having their allergies act up with this painful pollen season.

I think I'm having a reaction to cashews as well.. I get really edgy whenever I have some. Awful anxiety and really bad irritability. I think they might have been causing most of my problems but I'm not sure.

Oh, that's awful about the cashews since they are low sal.

We have wind, super dry weather, and a fire south of us. Air quality sucks big lemons today. Even the dog is depressed.

I tried one cookie a few minutes ago and didn't bloat up. Maybe it's a volume thing? Still makes me wonder...,the antihistimine may be suppressing it, too.

Perhaps try them on an empty stomach first thing in the morning? Just a thought. What else is in them?

Maybe it's the same thing as when I was eating the sweet salsa chicken alone, which bloated me, but not when I added the unsweet pealed pears to the mix?

Have you had the other ingredients before with no problem? (i.e. date sugar and honey). Just to be sure, you could try a few grains of oatmeal by themselves, not in the cookie?

Yep. Had it all, lots of times.

Ove been eating a few all day and no worse reaction - but I took the antihistimine and that generally really helps. Even after a glutening.

I'll try oats again in a month or so and see what happens. Last time I had a headache but that could have been anything at that point.

I just had to give up oats too. I may try again in a few months but it wasn't such a hugh deal for me. I hate oatmeal (as in breakfast) and don't eat a lot of sweets. But scratching anything off the safe list feels like a loss. Sorry you are having trouble.

It really isn't a big deal to me, other than something to avoid. I don't like oatmeal, either. I can live without oats easily.

Like you said, it's just another thing to avoid, which is a PITA.

When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease.

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA. But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test. In...

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow.
