<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have just taken a blood test to determine additional allergies. (I initially found out through allergy testing that I probably had CD or at least gluten intolerance. Never had the biopsy because of a wheat allergy.) The blood test, relatively new, is considered much more sensitive than the skin tests that have been around for many years. I received a high flag in several of the food ratings and I also seem to have an allergy to cultivated oats. My research has shown "... that avena sativa, cultivated oats, is the same species that is grown for food. This cultivar has been selected for ornamental use." Does this mean that all food oats, rolled and cut, are cultivated oats? Is this the plant that grows by the side of the road? Although I read all labels, it looks like I will have to practice further avoidance. Our list serve has knowledgeable people who have a grains background. Could they shed some light on the subject for a person who has to admire gardens from afar because of allergies to many growing plants? Much obliged . . .
