Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 There is a supplier in Canada - just outside of Montreal I think - who supplies guaranteed certified uncontaminated oats. Their website is www.creamhillestates.com. I have ordered the oat flakes and the oat flour, as have many others I know who have or are celiac - and have not experienced any problems whatsoever. I highly recommend them. They are a bit pricy, but then all gf products are, and the benefit of this type is that it broadens your food options considerably. They also have recipes posted which I haven't tried but I've heard are also excellent.evilmermaidprincess wrote: I found this on http://www.csaceliacs.org. Has anyone had issues withOats??

OATprolamins comprise only about 10-15% of the total protein in OATS,much less than in wheat, barley, or rye. Unfortunately, at this time,there is no known source for pure OATS that have not been potentiallycontaminated by wheat.na Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 If I remember right, there are two sources of GF oats in the US. Both are new in the marketplace. One is www.glutenfreeoats.com. I can't remember the other one. Some people eat McCanns Irish oats without problems. There was some controversy on their potential for contamination though for a while. I look at that like Lays potato chips. Some people will eat them even though there may be some risk of contamination. I plan on trying some of the GF oats soon, when the weather cools off.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I can't eat them in any amount. I've never tried the " gluten free " oats, but I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to try them. > > I found this on http://www.csaceliacs.org. Has anyone had issues with > Oats?? I never have.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hello Everyone - I just want to add my two cents worth, I definitely reacted to oats prior to diagnosis. Oatmeal was on my list of things I couldn't eat. I was eating Quaker Oats (American). I would go from the breakfast table to the bathroom, and be miserable, so I stopped eating them.. Five or six years after diagnosis I decided to try MC Cann's Irish Oatmeal. I had my first dish on a morning when I had nothing planned for the day, and I was pleasantly surprised! For the past year or so I have been eating McCann's Irish Oatmeal for breakfast about once a week. I have had no reaction, and it is nice to be able to eat them, kind of a comfort food sort of thing. However, I do not advise other celiacs to eat oats. I believe American oats are contaminated in some way with wheat. The only oats American oats i would try are the ones grown, processed and packaged under the gluten-free conditions. That's my story on oats, thanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 If I am correct the problem with oats is that they are usually grown with wheat in the same fields. So when they are harvested contamination is the problem. McCann's oats are grown with only oats. fran Re: What up with Oats?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I have weaned myself onto oats from www.glutenfreeoats.com, and managed to do it between endoscopies (had two reasons, two doctors scheduled them about two months apart) and my villi were fine before, I used oats in the interim, and they were fine on the second one... FOR ME (and I understand this is an individualized physical response), I am comfortable with that brand and happily eating oatmeal raisin cookies! Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 There is an excellent GF company here in Canada. I've included their link here: http://www.elpeto.com/ Their products are in a lot of stores, but contact them if you're looking for something you cannot find. Their products are guarenteed tto be gluten free, although I do not think that they sell oats -- I'm not sure. I really just wanted to let you all know about this company. I am very pleased with the cream of brown rice cereal. I eat oats made into an oat cake maybe once a week. I use quaker oats that are packaged in borough, Ontario Canada. I have not had a problem with them.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 We tried McCann’s oatmeal two days ago—I’ve been missing oats so much! But within 24 hours I had a migraine, which is my first symptom. And today DS is doing the nasty, nauseous thing. I’m so bummed. I guess I’ll wait a couple more months and try the other gluten-free oat sources. Laurie lbilyeu@...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I too have reacted to McCann's oats. While it was a much more mild reaction that with the other oats or with other glutens, it was STILL a reaction. And any reaction, I believ would be causing damage. I have also read research (I think celiac.com listed it) that showed high gluten amounts in varying forms of oats - including McCann's. I therefore won't eat them or give them to my kids until there is much more research into this subject. Cheryl in MN Cheryl rxp_us@...
