Is Oats or Oatmeal Gluten Free?
There is a controversy about whether oats is a gluten grain. There have been recent studies showing that oats are not the source of a celiac reaction. Here is one such study: http://www.celiac.com/New-Study-Shows-Eating-Oats-Safe-for-Patients-with-Celiac-Disease
The research is saying that milled oats are often contaminated with gluten grains.
“It is now generally accepted that non-contaminated gluten-free oats are safe for a celiac disease diet, with the exception of a small minority of celiacs who may have an additional intolerance to Avenin.” Says: www.Celiac.com on Oats
