Are Oats Okay for a Gluten-Free Diet?
Check with your doctor before including gluten-free oats in your diet. Oats do not contain gluten, but oats that are not labeled “gluten free” are probably contaminated with other gluten-containing grains through the growing, milling, or packaging process. For many people who follow a gluten-free diet, doctors feel that gluten-free oats are a safe whole grain.
