ARCHIVED Help With Oats
jenvan replied to mlana's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
here is a good thread on the oats debate you can read: Open Original Shared Link There are two things with oats. 1st, most oats are contaminated in the US--just part of the growing, processing/milling etc...so, most aren't safe for those on a gluten-free diet. I also have a study I can e-mail you, if you like, on 3 major brands and their results from... -

jenvan replied to cdiane's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I didn't do Anna's yeast-free...so it may be different. But when I used her regular--it turned out great. Has a soft, fluffy texture--best I've seen so far. I do stick with Kinnikinnick out of simplicity though. I usually toast the bread before I make my sandwiches too. -

Good for you keeping the log! I am going to get back on it for my rosacea to try to identify triggers.
