Are Oats Gluten Free?

Answer- Sometimes

Oats are not gluten free when-
They have been cut with other grains.  Oats are often produced
at the same factories as wheat, barley and malt, and are
therefore contaminated and not safe for people with Celiac
disease.  Always, always check the label.
Oats are gluten free when-
They are listed as gluten free, when they test at 20 ppm or less.
This means they were harvested, processed and packaged
on uncontaminated equipment.
However-
There are still many that may not be able to tolerate any oats.
This is because oats contain avenin, a protein that is similar
to gluten. 

Avoiding Cross Contamination In Your Home

Here are some tips to help you avoid cross contamination
in your home.

1. Use separate cutting boards.  Designate one as gluten  free.
2. Colander ( designate one as gluten free).
3. Toaster, never share toasters anywhere.
4. Condiments such as butter or cream cheese.  Have gluten free one .

Set up your kitchen so it is easy to eat gluten free.  Label all foods and store
gluten free snacks and foods in a separate area.
