Bob's Red Mill has some gluten-free grits.

grits are fine for the gluten-free diet. What you need to watch is cross-con. I for one react to Bob's Red Mill products gluten-free or not.I believe Hodgson Mills may have grits that are organic which again doesn't mean they are certified gluten-free...

I am new to all of this - can you just eat the Quaker instant grits - looked on the ingredients and didn't see any of the malt, barley, wheat, etc. does that mean it's okay? Thank you! I am trying to learn!

As you'll read, everyone's sensitivity varies. My two young sons have celiac and we're just over a month into the gluten-free lifestyle. This is what the dietician told us to start out with. She suggested buying flours from dedicated facilities as the risk of contamination is too high. Otherwise, go by the label. If it doesn't say wheat, barley, rye, malt, oats, then we're good to go. If their 3 month follow-up doesn't show the improvement they'd like, then we have to look more closely at cross contamination and manufacturing processes. Hope that helps!

Quaker says that their grits cannot be considered/guaranteed gluten free, as there may be cross contamination. I think this is true of all Quaker products (certainly true of their rice cakes).

      Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.

      A pleasure. It could just be the oats (even pure ones can cause problems for some coeliacs, as I mentioned) but don't be discouraged if that is the issue, as for most of us that passes. Very odd, really, as before going on a gluten free diet, they had no effect on me at all!

      Inhaler problem

      My POINT trents, was actually related to food more than inhalers causing your issue. My POINT is that even though gluten free food is supposed to not cause a reaction it does and can in some people so think about what you're eating...premade foods labeled gluten free like breads, pastry, cookies....whatever you're consuming....may be causing the reaction...

      Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.

      Thanks Christina. The Granola products I tried were marked Gluten Free so supposed to be suitable. I've had many tests done but no results yet but I get the results in next day or so. I may well have these issues due to deficiencies. Just wanted to get some anecdotal feedback about the issue before I see the GE specialist If and...

      Sore mouth lining and Coeliac Disease.

      Hi @Farralley and welcome to the form I have had soreness, ulcers and also find my tongue and inside my mouth is very sensitive and blisters easily (blood blisters) if I bite something sharp. Ulcers were a big issue twice before I was diagnosed, the doctors didn't put two and two together and think of coeliac disease, but I had two episodes where I...

I can't eat any gluten free breads from stores & certain pasta is a no too...others are OK. You may want to eliminate certain foods and see if your problem clears up.  2. Check with the inhaler manufacturer to ensure it's gluten free. Other than those two points if it continues a throat scope by an ENT may be needed to rule out other things.

      Hi @Farralley and welcome to the form I have had soreness, ulcers and also find my tongue and inside my mouth is very sensitive and blisters easily (blood blisters) if I bite something sharp.  Ulcers were a big issue twice before I was diagnosed, the doctors didn't put two and two together and think of coeliac disease, but I had two episodes where I had so many, even eating toast and marmalade made me think I was chewing glass. In your case, what you are describing could well be due to a reaction to cross contamination, or perhaps even a sensitivity to oats?  Are you consuming gluten free oats - i.e. certified pure oats, free from contamination?  You will probably know that coeliacs cannot eat standard oats, they have to be oats that are grown and processed separately from gluten containing grains, and certified as such.  But even then, a small percentage of coeliacs cannot tolerate pure oats, in the short term while they are recovering, or even in the longer term, unfortunately.  It took me eight years before I stopped reacting to even pure oats and now eat them with no issues, but for some a reaction to the protein avenin in oats can be either a temporary or long term issue. Another issue is you may be short of iron or B12 and other B vitamins, which can leave your mouth sore and prone to ulcers.  Have you had these levels tested recently?  If the burning continues, I'd definitely ask your doctors to do another blood test. Lastly - you may have burning mouth syndrome, do have a look into that, which could just be a temporary reaction to something - food, a new toothpaste, reflux? For now, in your shoes I'd probably keep an eye on any recurrences and perhaps keep a food diary to see if there is a pattern.  Have the blood test to check for deficiencies, and try to eat soft, bland food for a few days to help recovery along. Hope this helps, Cristiana

      Hi all I was diagnosed wuth Coeliac Disease about 9 months ago after my GP was investigating chronic anaemia. I had an endoscopy and 'total atrophy of the villa' was observed. I have recently had test to check fir other nutrient deficiencies. The test resilts will be shared with me soon during a visit to the Gastro Entrologist.  My concern is a sore mouth lining. I'm not certain but thought that consumption of a gluten free Granola which contained freeze dried berries seems to coincide with the soreness.. it's taken weeks and a range of over-the-counter remedied to reduce the soreness.  I've also been casting around for a remedy and a genuine cause. Perhaps foolishly I  purchased another similar product ( no frozen berries) and my mouth has become a lot sorer almost immediately.  No doubt my doctor will have some ideas. Just wondering if  1. Others had mouth soreness 2. Others had difficulty with gluten-free Granola-like cereal. TThans in advance. Farralley     .
