Can I Use Oats?
Based on numerous studies in the last several years, involving children and
adults, using pure oats and store-shelf oats, around the world; research shows
that oats do not appear to be harmful to persons with gluten intolerance in
moderation. Recent discovery of the specific reactive peptide in gluten
intolerance and research by Dr. Don Kasarda on the amino acid sequencing of oats vs.
the now known peptide, would again clear oats as not having the reactive
peptide sequence known to be problematic for gluten intolerance. Therefore oats are
gluten free.
However, there is concern by the medical and research communities worldwide
that the level of possible contamination of oats with gluten from unacceptable
sources is too high. Therefore, GIGŪ is not recommending the use of oats by
the celiac community.
Today, as we know and understand research on gluten intolerance, the
offending cereals that must be avoided are wheat, rye, barley and their derivative
cereals. transmitted by JerrySteg
