oats study

[Guest guest]

I was just looking around and came across this study done on CD and

consuming oats. It's brand new (published Jan '07). It's always

interesting all the new things they're finding out ...

Hi Marie;

 

My understanding is that many people who are sensitive to gluten, can indeed

tolerate oats because the gliadin fraction (the specific trouble maker on the

gluten molecule) in oats is different enough from that in wheat, rye and barley.

The trick in North America is obtaining a wheat-free source of oats! In the UK,

oats are processed in wheat-free environments, so they are " safe " for us.

Fortunately for me, my local grocery store now brings in oats from Ireland.

Oatmeal processed in North America can easily be contaminated with stray wheat

flakes during processing. The imported Irish oats are expensive compared to

domestic brands, but worth it to me.

 

Bob's Red Mill has told me that they are currently working on producing

gluten-free oats in North America. They already have a substantial line of

gluten-free products, so I have hope of them succeeding, and soon, with the

oats. That may be a more available and affordable option for us.

This has certainly been true in my case, though it surprised me! My

allergy blood test came back positive for wheat, rye, barley, spelt,

etc -- but completely negative on oats (though I'd been eating them

all).

 

I did not know, though, about the problem getting wheat-free oats in

the USA. Lucky for me (?) I'd not been eating as much lately!
