Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi Alia In Australia the oats are contaminated in transport mainly I think. I was told that I 'might' be able to tolerate oats, but it is recommended that you maintain a gluten free diet and then test it out. I get really sick now if I have gluten, so I haven't had the courage to try it. You can get gluten free oats, but I'm yet to see them in Perth, where I live. They're available in the US though, at a price. http://www.glutenfreeoats.com I would be very careful at restaurants, unless they advertise that they do gluten free, they really don't know what they are talking about. I learnt my lesson the hard way. I ordered plain rice noodles and asked if the chilli sauce was gluten free and was told it was, so had some over the rice noodles for flavour. The next day I had a full-on reaction, so I never listened to wait staff again - I always asked to see the ingredients list, or talk to the chef. The Coeliac Society in Australia sells info/training packs to catering companies and restaurants that becomes a bit like a gluten-free accreditation. Not sure about the US.
