First let me state that I am not a scientist or a doctor (nor do I play one
on TV).  But this issue about oats being okay one minute and not the next is
troublesome.  Several years ago when there were only a very few SMALL
studies indicating that oats were OK for Celiacs, many said that the tests
could not be trusted because they tested too small a sample.  Fine.  Then,
if I recall correctly, the studies started using larger test groups.
Conclusion:  Oats are probably OK for Celiacs.

Now comes a study of NINE people.  Really folks, are we to drop our bowls of
McAnns oats just because four showed a potential problem??!!

Please, no flames.  My 7-y-o son is our Celiac and I don't feed  him oats
yet.  I just question how quickly we jump on non-evidence as proof of
something that may not be.  Oats will remain a personal decision for us all.
