Gluten is a naturally occurring protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. The type of gluten in oats is quite different to the type of gluten in wheat, rye and barley. Some people with coeliac disease can tolerate oats that are not contaminated by wheat, rye or barley. You should speak to your gastroenterologist about the process of testing your tolerance to contaminant- free oats.
