Do any of you super sensitives that react to oats and oat cc (i.e. - lundberg rice products) have a safe rice brand I could try? It's mucho important for some upcoming traveling. Thanks a bunch!

Lundberg rice is safe. I emailed them last week and they told me that rice is all they produce. There are no oats there. with that said, Lundberg is the one and only rice that I can eat. Everything else I have tried had made me sick. I like the Sweet rice.

The problem for me with other brands of rice is that I am very corn allergic and the enrichment is adhered using corn starch. I found the brown unenriched to be CC with corn. I believe that Mahatma Brown rice says gluten free on the label. That should work if you are ok with corn.

I use Lundberg too and I am intolerant to oats. My favorite is the White Basmati.

Uncle Ben's ASSURED me that they don't use any corn whatsoever. I too am extremely sensitive to corn, and Uncle Ben's has never given me any problems. It's a good thing too because the only two rices available here are Uncle Ben's and Minute Rice. <_<

Do you have any Asian specialty stores in your area? Because usually they'll have rice that's certified to have come in no contact with oats or any other gluten containing-food. Shipped from Thailand or China, India or Japan... and usually organic too!

I just moved from minute rice to using this brand of rice Open Original Shared Link. However, I'm still not sure if I am oat intolerant or not so I cannot offer any insight on that. Perhaps another option for you though.

I use Nishiki short grained rice, from 99 Ranch. I've also used a kind of black rice from there. No problems with it, but don't quote me on that because I don't know what the actual documentation on these products is.

Oh thanks Mateto! That's a brilliant idea! I'll head there this week.

As for Lundberg, I dont believe it isn't oat cc'd. They use oats as their cover crop so there would likely be lots of cc (there's a video about it on the lundberg website). It gets me, dh and all! I know other super sensitives have had problems with it. gar!

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      Well then, I'd say he's making excellent progress. It can take some time for antibody numbers to normalize. Even though new antibodies are no longer being produced, it takes a while for the old ones to be disposed of. Make sure you keep an eye on the alkaline phosphatase levels. It is probably true that is tied to his adolescent growth spurt but it's worth tracking. Thirteen years of elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But I was 50 years old by that time and it was my ALT and AST that were mildly elevated all that time, not my alk phos. I just found out last week from an ultrasound that my liver is 20% larger than normal and I'm hoping that is a legacy effect. I have more testing lined up.

      Hi. Sorry, his previous levels were >250 and we do not know how high they were. So yes, "off the chart". By 'detectable' I just meant that at 234 we now actually have a number as a baseline that we can measure future labs against. All his other liver test functions have been normal.  Just the elevated ALP. Thank you.

      Welcome to the forum, @CeliacMom79! Not sure what you mean when you say you are pleased that his ttg levels are now at "detectable levels"? Earlier in your narrative you said they were originally above 250. Was 250 the upper limit of the scale that was used, such that you actually don't know how high they were originally, i.e. "off the charts"?  Were his other liver test functions (ALT, AST) originally elevated?

      tTg at 234 at 6 month bloodwork

      By CeliacMom79 · Posted

      Hello! This is my first time posting, but I have been so helped by the reading other's posts over the last 6 month. My 16 year old was diagnosed about 6 months ago with Celiac despite He had almost no symptoms aside from occasional loose stools and low weight gain. His tTg was over 250.  He also had anemia with abnormalities to his red blood cells, vD deficiency, elevated ALP and a few other nutritional findings.  He has had a couple of accidental gluten exposures in the last 6 months but overall has (as far as we know) been completely gluten free.  We scrubbed our kitchen down and replaced cookware at the time of diagnosis and our home is completely gluten-free.  We eat out only rarely and then at restaurants we know are aware of cross contamination. He is also not eating oats as a precaution until we get his numbers down. We were told by his Peds GI doc to expect normalization of his labs within 2 years. He just had his 6 month bloodwork and his tTg is now at 234.  All of his abnormal nutritional findings, the anemia and his blood counts have normalized. His ALP is still elevated (which we think may be a normal finding as he's been having a major growth spurt and further tests to check his liver function have been normal). He no longer has loose stools, he feels great and has grown 3 inches and put on about 20lbs in the last 6 months.  This all seems positive. I am happy that we now have his tTg at detectable levels, but I am wondering if anyone has had a level that is still this high 6 months post diagnosis? Thank you so much!  I appreciate this community.
