Oats

Oats contain avenin, a protein similar to gluten. However, studies show that most people with celiac disease can tolerate gluten-free oats.

Issues may arise if oats are processed in the same facility as wheat, barley, and rye, as they can become contaminated with these grains. Only uncontaminated oats can be consumed by people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

It is up to you to decide whether to include oats in your diet—some people choose not to consume them. However, oats offer important benefits, adding variety to a gluten-free diet. They are a good source of soluble fiber, which can support gut health, help manage high cholesterol, and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Oat Labeling

Овесените продукти често се етикетират като „100% овес“, „овес“ или „органичен“ овес. Тези термини не ви показва дали продуктът е или не съдържа замърсяване с глутен.

It is mandatory for gluten-containing cereals, including oats, to be listed in the ingredient list if they have been intentionally used, regardless of the amount.

Незамърсеният овес, който е тестван при 20 части на милион (ppm) глутен или по-малко, може да бъде обозначен като „без глутен“.
