contaminated by wheat. So, it's nearly impossible to get a pure oat

(McCann's is not safe enough, some of their batches have tested above the

safe level). But, even when pure, it causes some celiacs to react anyway.

So, to be safe, I like to say that oats are part of the gluten family of

grains. It seems that that is becoming more and more common all around.

Google this: oats gluten study thompson (without quotes, just the words). I

can't figure out how to link in gmail yet. :-)

My understanding is that the gluten grains are:

wheat

barley

oats

rye

spelt

So, yes, as far as I know, oats do contain gluten.

Recent research shows that oats (in and of themselves) are gluten

free, but the problem comes in with crop rotation and processing in

plants along with gluten containing grains.

There are a few brands of oats that are grown in non-rotated fields

that are processed in a plant that only processes oats. Those are

considered to be gluten free.

You'll have to search the internet for the brand names and as a

reminder for the new folks, oats are NOT allowed on SCD.

The quoted info appears on the Internet however it does NOT comply with SCD

guidelines

as starch is an issue as well as Gluten. So no matter what this blurb states, I

as a celiec

would not use oats. An adverse reaction does not always occur immediately

either.

Oats are NOT on SCD. It is emphatically atated on page 67, edition 10 of BTVC.

After a

year of being symptom free, one might want to cautiously try oats but not

sooner.

Yes, you can remember it with the word BROW or BROWS.

This is why it's so debated. And, the key word is " not all " can tolerate.

The problem is that there isn't always a noticeable reaction, so they could

be damaging the body without one even knowing it. I don't know why people

are trying so hard to eat something (which isn't even all that great for

them) that could potentially harm them. I'm just talking people in general,

not specifically to this list or anyone on it. :-)
