Isn't there confusion as to whether there is gluten in oats?

Yes She-Ra....there is a lot of confusion about what grains have gluten and what don't.

I am gluten sensitive. I have been told that Kamut is ok, & I buy both Kamut and Spelt breads which seem to work for me.

From my research I have discovered that buckwheat has gluten & oats too.

It appears that only the ancient grains such as millet, quinoa, rice, spelt, kamut are gluten free.

But some disagree with this, particularly the buckwheat & oats. I avoid both as a precaution.

More & more people are now being diagnosed with gluten intolerance. No one is health care or government is talking about this grave danger to our health, & the people are doing their own digging & self-diagnosing. It was through my own self-diagnosing that I discovered I had this problem.

My theory is GMO wheat crops that is causing the problem.

This link says otherwise http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/buckwht.html I am more than sensitive, I am alergic but can tolerate well buckwheat, still, it is a personal thing

I also must travel the gluten-free path. Purchasing g-f bakery items is very expensive, although worth the price in improved digestion.

Thanks so much for putting this up here for us

After 4 months of suffering we are finally getting an answer to the cause of my grandsons illnesses.

He had to endure 4 ER visits, 2 IVs and finally a two day hospital stay where they had to completely clean out his colon

On Tues now he will undergo minor surgery but since his hospital visit and new "gluten free" diet he is smiling once again

Timely for me as well, thanks! I've suspected gluten as the basis of my inflammatory reactions in my body.

I've read that oats may have only a small amount of gluten. I use Quinoa flour to make bread and muffins. Yummy!

Another reason to avoid bread is the bromides contained in it. Bromides supplant iodine in the thyroid, causing all manner of problems. Just like fluoride will.
