More controversy for the List...  This study shows some celiac patients are
quite happy with and do quite well on a GF diet including oats:

Br J Nutr. 2003 Jul;90(1):101-7.

Beneficial effects of oats in the gluten-free diet of adults with special
reference to nutrient status, symptoms and subjective experiences.

Storsrud S, Storsrud S, Hulthen LR, Lenner RA.

Department of Clinical Nutrition, Goteborg University, Gothenburg, Sweden.

In several studies oats have been reported to be tolerated by coeliac
patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the nutritional
and symptomatic effects of including oats in the gluten-free diet, as well
as the patients' subjective experiences. Twenty adult coeliac patients
included large amounts of oats in their diet. Food intake, gastrointestinal
symptoms, blood samples and body weight were examined and compared with
examination at baseline. Diet compliance was checked monthly. The results
are based on fifteen patients eating oats for 2 years plus three with only
6-months consumption. The median daily intake of oats was 93 (range 27-137)
g/d, and the compliance was good. The mean intakes of Fe and dietary fibre
increased (P<0.001) with the oat diet, as well as the intakes of thiamin
and Zn (P<0.02). The bioavailability of Fe tended to decrease; this seems
not to have influenced the Fe status. Temporary increased flatulence was
experienced the first few weeks, as well as improved bowel function with
oats in the diet. All patients who carried out the whole study period
wanted to continue eating oats after the study, as they found that addition
of oats in the gluten-free diet gave more variation, better taste and
satiety. Oats improved the nutritional value of the gluten-free diet, had
no negative effects on nutritional status and were appreciated by the
subjects. Including oats can help coeliac patients following a strict
gluten-free diet.
