Hi everyone
 
The American Dietetic Association recently released evidence-based nutrition practice guidelines for oats. The recommendation for oats reads
 
"The registered dietitian (RD) should advise individuals with celiac disease who enjoy and can tolerate gluten-free oats to gradually include them in their gluten-free dietary pattern. Research on individuals with celiac disease reports that incorporating oats uncontaminated with wheat, barley or rye at intake levels of approximately 50g dry oats per day is generally safe and improves compliance with the gluten-free dietary pattern." 

There are certain conditions of application including:
 
Oats should be added to the diet under medical supervision
 
Oats must be gluten-free as defined by proposed FDA rule (less than 20 parts per million of gluten)
 
The executive summary of guidelines is available free of charge to everyone.
 
Thanks
