Hi Listmates,
Recently there has been some discussion on oatmeal and this brought up two
issues which I wanted to share:
1. I did get the McCain's Irish Steel Cut Oats to try and I did not get sick
in my gut,
but I did get a rash reaction. I spoke with my GI about it and he said
that oats
do have gluten, but he has seen celiacs who can eat pure milled oats and
some
who cannot. Since I don't want to lose 2 years of diligent gluten free
planning,
have decided to let the oats go. Everyone else, use your own
discretion.
2. I want to warn you off of Tasti Delight. The lure of this frozen dessert
is that
it has almost no calories whatsoever. However, it does contain Oat
Bran. I had
literally one ounce and within two hours I was bloated and gassy like I
haven't
seen since diagnosis. The diarreah was hideous as well. I am not
lactose
intolerant, so I believe it was the oat bran.
3. For those in Queens, New York, I visited Lemon Ice King of Corona, and
while
they are totally unable to answer questions about gluten, I had some
amazing
Pistaccio ices and didn't have any side effect at all. When I asked the
owner if
they put wheat or any stabilizers in their ices he said "Why would we do
that; this
isn't bread or pasta?" Why indeed. Could somebody please tell Haagen
Daz!
Stay cool and enjoy the Summer.
Love and peace,
Libby
NYC
