Lyssa - I think they recommend you be AT LEAST one year gf to let your gut heal before trying oats. Maybe you're not "healed" as much as you could be; esp with accidental ingestion?

I just tried them about 2 weeks ago and they were GF oats. I waited until I asked my doctor and she said to try just a bit - so I started off with 1/8 of a cup - and I had a bit of a stomach ache but I wasn't sure if it was from that. So then a few days later I tried it again - same problem. So I switched the milk I was using to Lactose Free because I had been having issues with that too - I tried them again but this time at 1/4c and I was *SO* sick. So no oats for me - which really sucks - because I LOVE OATS!

Thanks Walksfar. I always like to give my two cents when asked!

Mahlyssa - at what point in your recovery did you try the oats? Just wondering as I'm over the year mark recommended by that MT company who sells those gf oats. I'm not a sensitive celiac though, so I hope all goes well when I try.

I'm sorry but one of those questions bothered me!

I am one of the people who tried to eat oats that were not made or grown near wheat and I got sick!

If oats met the guidelines and were ingredients in Gluten-Free foods that would scare me because I don't check the ingredients in Gluten-Free labeled food! That would just make it HARDER for me to buy things!

Maybe because I already completed the survey. Try going to "Latest News" at www.americanceliac.org

Hope that works.


Being a Christian isn't about religion. It's about a relationship with the One who made us. I'm so thankful to be one of His.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Do not ask the Lord to guide your footstep, unless you are willing to move your feet.

Rise early, exercise, eat healthy, sleep well. But remember that your true strength is the strength of Jesus.

The FDA's proposal for labeling products 'gluten-free' was published on 1/23/07. The FDA is seeking input from consumers on several issues surrounding this proposed Rule.

You can participate in the survey here:
