Oats would be all right but they're usually grown in the same fields and/or processed on the same machines that process the others, so there might be contamination, just like with the peanut/tree nut warning on some other foods :-)

My doctor is okay; the whole system is kind of messed up I think so how we're treated is part of a larger problem. My doctor tests and throws meds at problems and it's a 3+ hour wait in the ER, no matter what the problem.

I have a dentist I trust so don't have any problems there but that costs $$$ out-of-pocket.

I have chronic illnesses that doctors don't really know anything about the causes of and can't "cure"; asthma, hypothyroid, etc. and the whole milieu is such that we expect cures and fixes for everything these days, even though you can't fix old age or normal wear and tear on bodies, etc. But I keep forgetting that what I eat and whether I exercise, how well I work on sleeping, etc. impacts what hurts but I want my cake and to eat it too (not feel bad the next day and have higher blood pressure when I've had too much to drink the night before, for example).
