Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Carolyn, Oatmeal in its natural form has no gluten or rather the kind of gluten that affects us like in wheat, ryr, or barley. However, if it is processed in a mill that also processes wheat, barley, or rye it is contaminated and has the stuff in it. I buy gluten free oatmeal on the internet. Gluten is the major thing. But, usually one finds down the road that they may be also sensitive to milk proteins and they cause a lot of trouble. I think it is 80% of gluten sensitive people who are also sensitive to milk proteins. Many gluten sensitive people also have trouble with other grains. But as I say, gluten is the main thing to start with. If one is 100% gluten free it shouldn't be too long before you notice the difference in how you feel but it can take months I am told for the body to get rid of the antibodies. I think keeping an open mind about possibly food sensitivities as you go along on a gluten free diet is good idea. Your body has really been attacked and strained in many ways if you are sensitive to gluten and you really need to take care of yourself. This isn't a simple allergy but is a big bad complex disease that unfortunately the medical system doesn't understand very well. Not eating junk is a good idea. Processed foods are really bad for everybody. Arline --- Carolyn52192@... wrote: > Arlene, > > Does oatmeal fall into the gluten category.
