Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Celiac.com is one place you can read about a Swedish? study on those who can't tolerate oats of any kind. The study investigates some strains of oats that are more likely than others to cause a probem. "GF oats" is a new concept to me and I bet a misnomer in the sense that most or all grains have glutens or protein complexes called gliadins (corn and rice for sure). Just so happens most of us are allergic to wheat, barley and rye, and oats perhaps?
