Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I can't make up my mind on oats as there is conflicting information out there. I will ask my daughter and niece (both dietitians) and a girlfriend and will share the results. Oatmeal cookies would be very nutritious...

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 lynn When we first started the diet we avoided oats as well as wheat,spelt Ect. June 1st we re-introduced oats as well as crackers and some highly processed white bread with no ill effects.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Her gliadin was 40. She's now eating a little of Fruity Pebbles in the AM, but getting pretty tired of them.

Could anyone tell me if they give their child OATS?<<< Hi Lynn, How elevated was your daughter's gliadin at the initial testing? My son had slightly elevated gliadin (24), but Dr. Goldberg still allowed him to eat Cheerios, which is made from oats, because it is processed. Captain Crunch is so high in sugar I would think you would want to avoid it anyway, but maybe about 10-15 pieces on top of some other cereal would be a treat. Hope that helps a little.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I've heard that the problem with oats is usually cross-contamination. They grow and process them next to wheat. McCann's Irish oats are supposed to be safe. Jane On Oct 20, 2004, at 4:49 PM, JOSKAT95@... wrote: > > > I can't make up my mind on oats as there is conflicting information out > there.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 While oats is a di-cotyledonous seed like wheat and barley (unlike rice) and has additional protein layers in the seed structure, it seems the oat gluten protein is less complex and broken down more easily than that in wheat - trial and error here..but rolled oats and oatmeal cookies (we call them ANZAC biscuits in Oz since the soldiers carried them everywhere in WWI) are wonderful food.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 That's a good idea - I was wondering what device I could use to get to try them... Re: Oats on the diet?
