Ingredients you can eat

What about Oats?

All commercial, regular oats are contaminated with gluten. However, most people with celiac disease can eat small amounts (around ½ cup uncooked) of certified gluten-free oats. A small percentage of people with celiac react the same way to the protein in oats as they do to gluten. Talk to your doctor to get more specifics for your individual needs.
