I seem to be able to tolerate the gluten-free oats quite well. I don't eat them often because of the expense, and I haven't wanted to test how much I can tolerate.

For those of you that have tried the gluten-free oats, how much are you eating per day? Do you find that you can eat them up to a point, but not past? I think the last thing I read was that one should not go over 1/2 cup daily. Well, if I make a batch of cookies and eat a few, I could easily go over that amount. I would also like to increase my consumption to try to decrease my cholesterol.

Input is apprecited.

i think you ought to test the waters a bit. i seem ok eating a bowl of oatmeal every morning (did that for awhile when i ran out of grocery money last month, and had no more cereals). i'd just be aware of how much you're consuming, and watching to see how it affects you. i'd also keep a couple different kinds of cookies on hand, so you're not just eating oatmeal ones :D

I love your quote "The grass is always greener where you water it." I think I may have to steal it for my own personal list of favorites- BECAUSE ITS SO TRUE! ;)

A go by the guidelines. I usually take the amount of oats in a recipie and divide by the number of servings I end up with to determine how many servings of a product I can eat in a day and it is normally more than I plan to eat so I don't find that I have to eat less of a product than I normally would. For example my muffin recipie uses 1 c. of oats and makes 12-16 muffins. I'd have to eat almost 1/2 of them in a day to go over the limit and I only want 1 or 2. Apple crisp uses 1 cup and I divide it into about 6 generous servings. One serving is only 1/6 a cup.

What brand of oats are you guys buying? My doc gave a tentative OK for oats at our house (son likes oatmeal once in a while and it would be nice to have it for oatmeal cookies). However, he said even some of the "gluten free" brands have still shown to be contaminated and he wants me to do my research and get the brand that has the best reputation. So here I am at my favorite site doing "research" :lol: Any opinions on which brand is best?

I eat the oats from glutenfreeoats.com, and have never had any problems. I eat about two to three servings a week, about 2/3 cup each time, with raisins, almonds, fructose, and a little milk....everything's fine!

I eat oats about three times a week. (gluten-free). I do make cookies & desserts from them too. I only have two cookies at a time or a 2 inch bar type dessert.

I eat cream hill estate oats ( Lara's) or from the gluten-free oats co. I don't eat Bob's Red Mill anything as I seem to react to most of their stuff....That one would be the only one I'd be leary of. I think there are others who react to Bob's stuff also.

Only oats has quick oats & I think they are the only ones who has quick oats.

Thanks! That quote saved my marriage :) ...and continues to do so!

I love Lara's oats! I've gone through several boxes since dx. They also have recipes for cookies and such in the box. Was buying the irish ones...can't remember what they're called, but Lara's are cheaper!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
