<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> A few days ago, someone on the list asked whether oats are gluten-free. I contacted this very nice person off list, and she said out of 71 replies, 68 indicated that oats were *not* a problem for celiacs. This is interesting because it contradicts most of the literature I was handed, with my recent celiac diagnosis, by two doctors and a nutritionist. Since I am outwardly asymptomatic (anemia, blood work and biopsy discovered the condition), I wouldn't have an immediate severe reaction to oats if I resumed eating them -- which I will do if the overwhelming consensus is that oats are safe. Unfortunately, the person who originally inquired cannot post a summary to the List, as she deleted the replies she'd received. If anyone who replied directly to her still has their reply (pro or con), I would be very interested in reading them. Please send them directly to me and I will summarize replies (anonymously) for the list. Thanks much. David C.
