<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi all, There is a lot of discussion, if oats is good or bad for us celiacs. I am on GF strict diet over three years and become so sensitive on it, that when I see bread or cookies, my stomach turning upside down, just by look. But my reward is a healthy productive life as never before. So I want to find out, if oats will harm me, when I make Oatmeal breakfast. So I bought on a farm market 5 lbs of oats, then as a Cinderella I separate each grain of oats from others (barley, wheat and I found alsosome rye in it), Ten I washed it truly. After couple days drying on a sun I grinded it on my little stone mill and yesterday morning I had an oatmeal breakfast after 3 years. It was good and tonight after 36 hours no bad reaction at all. If would be only one miligram gluten in it I would get very sick. Conclusion? Oatmeal Is good for us "celiacs", but the contamination is unavoidable, unless you have to work like a Cinderela. Have nice Sunday! Kevin Nadherny [log in to unmask] Toronto, Canada
