Would oats be "low gluten"?

I fortunately dont have coeliac. But I have an inflammatory condition that is worsened by gluten, so I'm gluten free. I can eat small amounts of gluten without issue, but too much tips my body into inflammation and not a fun time.

I know most oats can't be officially "gluten free" because they're processed alongside wheat and barley. But I eat a lot of other foods that have "may contain" because they were processed in the same place as gluten-containing foods. Are oats the same? Are they "may contain" or are they "do contain"? I'm finding it hard to work out.

I'm in Australia, so anyone who knows the answer for our oat processing systems, let me know!

Edit: typo and my dumb brain said I have an autoimmune condition instead of an inflammatory condition

GF Shopping Issues

I just have a question here. Does everyone else here have to go to lots of different stores to find all the GF items each week? I go to 3-7 different stores weekly to satisfy our shopping list. Does anyone else do this?

Best Gluten Free Chili Crisp

Ever since my Celiac diagnosis, I’ve been living on protein/rice/greens bowls and a good sauce is the key! I realized the chili crisp I loved was not gluten free but have found one that I love called Crispy Ho. It’s so good and labeled gluten free. Delicious on everything and a small, local business. Check it out!

Be careful out there, my GF sisters and brothersd

Spouse just bought a bento box yesterday to bring our "airport" snacks on our flights. I asked him if it was dishwasher save and he looked at the label and said "I don't think so, it's made out of wheat fiber."

We both did a sitcom-worthy double take.

I've been GF for over 15 years and it never occurred to me to be cautious about "plastic" containers. If I hadn't asked, the label on the box would have hit the trash and I never would have known. One of my biggest fears is getting sick on a flight with the seat belt sign illuminated. This is the exact reason we bring our own snacks on long flights.

Be careful out there.

GF Baking & Cooking Tips for a GF Newbie!

Hi everyone! I love to cook and bake. I am pretty new to a gluten-free diet and would love to know your experiences cooking/baking with gluten free grains & flours like the ones in this list https://gluten.org/2019/10/17/gluten-free-grains/ . What are some of the best tips and tricks you have for wheat-based flour substitutions when you find a recipe that sounds good but originally calls for flour? And any other tips & tricks you want to share! What are some of your favorite flours and ingredients to bake with? Does anyone have a recipe for gluten-free Irish soda bread?!

I have been looking into teff, for example, I would love to try and make teff pasta noodles myself eventually! I have access to a variety of tools as well - my partner is a great home cook, and he has pretty much any kitchen gadget you can think of lol.

Thanks and please also feel free to share photos of your creations!! :)

how much rice is too much rice

I have medication that suppresses my appetite for most of the day, so at night I usually eat a bit of rice. I usually cook 1.5 cups of dry rice and eat it all in one sitting. Recently found out that eating that much rice is like 6 times the normal serving size, and there's a risk of me having too much arsenic, so does anyone know if there's a limit to how much rice is too much rice. This is all made worse from me coming from a culture that loves rice so I don't know what I'll do without my daily bowl of rice...

Can celiac be cured in our lifetime?

Dear celiac people, what do you think? Is there a hope? i'm praying it will work out!

So sad and mad on Southwest

They offer Siete gluten free wedding cookies for the folks who paid for "extra legroom" up in the front of the plane, but they won't let me have a bag. I asked how I could go about accommodating for myself for my next flight and the attendant said, rather snarkily "you bring your own gluten free snacks". 🙄 I've read all the legalese on ADA and ACAA and it's not required to provide gluten free snacks but this seems like a really simple reasonable accommodation since the snacks are already on the plane with us. Obviously I've packed my own snacks but it sure would be nice to be included in snack service.

Look at what I did! Behold!

I bought the Better Goods gf banana but muffin mix last time I was at Walmart. It's box not scratch. And ignore my crappy slicing skills. But damn just look at that thing!

Now, my standards with banana bread are super high. My mom is an excellent baker and after her Texas sheet cake, banana nut bread is probably her next best. I grew up spoiled I'm saying.

I never thought I'd have that amazing delicious banana bread again after getting diagnosed with NCGS. No way am I spending a fortune to buy all the gf baking ingredients. So I bought the mix and decided to try it.

Now I did have to doctor it up a bit. My momma raised me right when it comes to baking. Hehe. I added a real banana Because how you going to call it banana bread if there's no banana in there? (If you don't bake, wait until it's overripe and brown for making banana bread. If you're debating throwing it out it's screaming to be made into banana bread.). And I reduced the water to 1/2 cup instead of what the box called for because the banana adds moisture so less would be needed. Then mixed and baked according to directions on the back of the box.

And it fucking turned out way beyond my expectations! I thought it would just be ok. But it's good!! It's so good. I will totally be buying this box mix again.

Newly GF

Hello folks! The day I dreaded the most in my life as a pasta-loving Italian-American boy has come and I am officially gf! Jury is still out on whether it’s celiac or not but as of right now I am severely intolerant of wheat! My bf of 4+ years is already celiac (go figure) so I am pretty accustomed to GF cooking/dining. My question for you all; particularly the later in life GF people; are there any bread products you consider the absolute best in terms of comparability to actual wheat bread? Any suggestions are welcome. (Im already very familiar w schär and udi’s)

Mac-n-cheese please!!

I am a huge macaroni and cheese lover, but have been super disappointed with the gluten free options over the years. I recently saw the Gluten free Velveeta Shells and cheese and decided to give it a shot, and omg… it did not disappoint! It says to cook the noodles for 8-10 minutes, i think I cooked mine for about 6 1/2 and they were perfect! Definitely recommend!! Any other suggestions of other brands, I’m open to try them as well!

Swipe for the goods

I’ve been really missing ice cream sandwiches since going gluten free. Decided to use some Pamela’s brownie mix, baked really thin on parchment paper so that I could cut rectangles out to make my own. 10/10 will be doing again.

So excited!

I found these at Walmart today. I have a nut allergy as well as being gluten free and I had accepted that protein bars just wouldn’t be something I could eat anymore. The only bars I’ve ever been able to find that are both gluten and nut free were the MadeGood ones which only have 3 grams of protein and are mostly just carbs which is fine but it’s nice to have a snack that’s a bit more nutritionally dense sometimes. I haven’t actually tried them yet so fingers crossed they actually taste good lol

On a semi-related note I feel like allergy friendly brands need to be banned from having the word “good” in their names. It’s getting a bit ridiculous.

holy crap, these are so good! in the air fryer - kinda crispy on the outside, soft as an angel's butt on the inside, slightly churro-esque

made a great birthday breakfast with some eggs and fruit!

Score!

In the middle of moving so I went to a Walmart I’ve never been to and scored! I didn’t get everything they had, but they had a bunch of products I’ve never seen before and it was so hard not to buy them all. Glutinous even had garlic Parmesan pretzels, and white chocolate sprinkle covered pretzels! Truly a revolutionary brand I think, so grateful. The chocolate strawberry wafers are good, but the peanut butter ones are better. The yogurt pretzels are good, a little buttery which was a decent surprise but so yummy 🤤
