DH Reaction after Bobs Red Mill gluten-free Oats

Has anyone else had a bad reaction with Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Oats?  I had only tried a little of the oats at Christmas time and thought I was okay with them.  So the other day I was craving cookies.  I made awesome cookies using these oats, and then of course since I craved them so badly I ate four of them!  So then I had a terrible night with DH type rash, mouth sores and generally feeling kinda lousy....  Finally took an antihistamine and drank a lot of water which helped greatly and the next day was better.  Today I am okay but curious, was it an isolated thing?  OR did I just think I was okay with gluten-free Oats, but in reality I am not.   Sheesh, I am so disappointed, I really wanted those darn cookies!

Some people with celiac can't tolerate even gluten free oats. Is this the first time you've had such a reaction? 

What other ingredients were in the cookies? Could you have had an a reaction to something else in the cookies??

Is it possible there was an unintentional gluten cross-contamination?

Many times a certain percentage of us celiacs with DH are also sensitive to oats.  Unfortnately, I am also sensitive to oats.  My DH also flares up when stressed.  I have avoided oats as well as wheat, barley and rye.  I can't even use Aveeno products.  I really miss oats.

Count another one with dh who can't do certified gluten-free oats. They got me big time. I had not had gluten-free oats since going gluten-free until Dec. of 2014 when I began making some bread that contained oat flour -- (BRM brand) but I don't blame BRM specifically - just gluten-free oats in general) & WHAM! I took a big hit.

It is known that many people who are sensitive to the gliadin in gluten, are also sensitive to the avenins in oats.   There may be a test for avenin sensitivity, perhaps you should take that test to make sure.

I do not tolerate oats of any kind. I was told via my gastro in Boston that there is a protein similar to the Celiac protein culprit which makes me sick.  No oats for me, gluten free or otherwise!

I am glad to see this posted. I was eating the gluten-free oats at my mom's home while visiting her and I kept feeling odd. I got my thyroid retested and saw the numbers going up again.  I got a doc to give me Armor and  thought that would work- then I was itching  all over plus my heart started racing on a low level. Got off of that and just decided like many of you all - stay off the oats.  I have stayed off of corn too, as I have just about decided to give up all grains.  Been feeling much better.

Same thing happened to me. I def have the symmetrical itchy rash on my arms, neck and legs. I asked my family doctor if it could be celiac or a gluten sensitivity and she was like no. But its recurring and I keep having these skin flare ups. How do I get this tested?

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
