Real Food Y'all Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm on day 26 of my 2nd Whole30. During my first W30, I made it to the finish line, but then went crazy eating everything in sight instead of doing a proper reintro. I wanna get it right this time. I have some regular old Quaker oats sitting in my cabinet, and while I'm not really MISSING it, I'm kind of thinking some oatmeal for breakfast sounds good on Day 31. I've seen other posts instructing people to make sure oats are certified gluten-free if using them for reintroducing non-gluten grains... but how bad would it BE to use non-gluten-free oats? I don't wanna go buy new oats because I don't eat them much anyway. There couldn't be more than trace amounts, right? I've never had any of kind of gluten sensitivity, and don't recall any ill effects the first time I ate gluten after my first W30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 When you're doing reintros, you want to be very particular about what you choose to test, so if you do have a reaction, you can pinpoint the cause.If you can't find gluten-free oats, choose other gluten-free options to introduce at your 3 meals on gluten-free grain day. Rice, quinoa and corn, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about going to the bulk-section and just buying a small amount to try instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 You may want to eat your oats on your gluten reintro days. Then if you have a reaction you will know that it is either oats or gluten and you can reintro them separately. I also want to eat some oatmeal and am waiting for my gluten intro days. Good Luck.

Real Food Y'all Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 What about going to the bulk-section and just buying a small amount to try instead? I'd have to drive no less than 2 hours to get to a grocery store with a bulk section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
