When eating gluten free, many grains are a definite no, however
why are some people with Celiac unable to eat oats?
One main reason is cross contamination. In most factories oats
are processed with other grains. They are processed on same equipment.
Oats are also grown in fields next to wheat, rye and barley. People think
the answer is easy, just eat certified gluten free oats, right?
This brings us to another issue, some people with Celiac
still can not eat certified gluten free oats. The culprit could be
avenin, a protein found in oats that is similar to gluten
in wheat.
It depends on the person, if oats bother you, best bet stay
away from them. My suggestion regardless, only use
certified gluten free oats, if tolerated.
