She may have low stomach acid/enzymes ... old folks

commonly do. Also probiotics help. Biogest is a good

enzyme/HCL supplement.

Most people who are gluten-intolerant ALSO can't

digest fats (messed up pancreas/viili) -- the Biogest helps

in that regard. Oatmeal isn't good for folks with

gluten intolerance unless it is McCannes -- US oats

are generally always contaminated with wheat (people

tested them).

If she likes sandwiches, you can buy or make good

GF bread, which makes an easy thing to feed people.

I make mine with tons of eggs and everyone likes

it -- my daughter LOVES toast so I figure, put lots

of good stuff in it. I can post the recipe again if

you like.

Is this true of non-milled oats, aka groats?

It is if there is wheat mixed in. Can you tell a wheat grain from an oat grain?

I can't! The separating machines can't either. That is the problem. Farmers

typically grow them side by side or rotated on the same ground, and the same

trucks haul them. This happens with corn and millet too, but the machines that

separate the " foreign particles " can separate wheat from corn ok. Though I did

once find some wheatlike grains in with some lentils.

They don't grow wheat much in Ireland, which is why Irish oats are considered

ok.

Bob's Red Mill puts out a hot cereal that they say is GF and they do seem to

test their grains, so it might be. I haven't tried it though.

If you lack energy, your best bet would be a mix. There are

some you can get premade, but they are lousy, IMO. The

best mix I've had is Schar Mix B, but it has powdered milk,

which doesn't work for me. Otherwise I use any mix, but I use

about 4 eggs instead of whatever they recommend and kefir

instead of milk (or, use water). The following site has some good mixes.

I haven't tried Miss Roben's yet, but potato starch usually makes fine

bread (soft) and it looks pretty good -- also it includes yeast, which is good.

They also have Tinkyada pasta which is WONDERFUL and easy to chew.

(No one can really tell the difference -- I serve Tinkyada to everyone. They

have a brown rice pasta that is enzyme treated, very NT -- excellent with

fresh squeezed garlic and olive oil and a little salt) .

Chebe bread is good (www.chebe.com) but it is REALLY chewy (which is why I like

it!).

It comes in dairy free though.
