I had problems with McCann's oatmeal but have eaten Bob's Red Mill GF oatmeal

for two years! I buy it at WFM or a little health food on California Ave. in

Palo Alto. Good luck!

i have been stressed out, i have been eating oatmeal (whole foods oatmeal says

they keep it separate from wheat in the factory, but who knows)

I've always heard that the unique CC issue for oats starts w/ the common

oats/wheat crop rotation, and what's called " volunteer wheat " . Then there's the

shared equipment in harvest, transport & storage.

The greatest factory practices in the world don't make oats gf. I don't eat

oats, so don't pay a *lot* of attn but hear that oats like McCann's get called

GF because in Ireland they weren't traditionally crop-rotated w/ wheat.

So I'd say switch to GF oats and see what happens.

I think there are at least 3 or 4 brands - - - anyone??

Some percentage of Celiacs have difficulties with even g-f oats, due to cross-reactivity. I happen to be one of them. I'd recommend staying away from the oats entirely for a while to see if that is the source of your problems!
