Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Oats are on the off list due to cross contamination. Are there any Celiacs who eat oats anyway? There was an article in Gluten Free living Vol 9 No 3 on oats which peaked my interest. My ds2 didn't have outward reactions to oats in cereals such as Lucky Charms (these have Wheat Starch, so they are an out) or Captain Crunch. I just wonder if he could eat these on occassion or if the cross contamination is too high to risk the possibility of internal damage without an outward response...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 My dh and I attended the Patient Education Day at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University this summer, and there was a whole session about the oat question. Here in the USA there is very high contamination of oats with wheat. That is because they are almost always processed together. Quaker is the worst, but others have the same problem. Oats from Ireland have much less contamination, and it could be okay to eat them for some people. They mentioned McCains and maybe another brand. They definitely suggested waiting at least 6 months to a year (I think) after starting the gf diet before trying oats.

I would go with oats unless you have probs.It all depends upon how picky you and your GI tract are. >Doreen > Question on Oats? > > > Oats are on the off list due to cross contamination. > Are there any Celiacs who eat oats anyway? > There was an article in Gluten Free living Vol 9 No 3 on oats which > peaked my interest. > My ds2 didn't have outward reactions to oats in cereals such as Lucky > Charms (these have Wheat Starch, so they are an out) or Captain > Crunch.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I eat McCanns from Ireland. They even have a quick oatmeal now. Some people with sprue can't tolerate even uncontaminated oats, however. > Are there any Celiacs who eat oats anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
