Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I found this on http://www.csaceliacs.org. Has anyone had issues with Oats?? I never have. It's kinda lame that there is not a source for uncontaminated Oats. Maybe some of you know more than the web site does. This info kinda make me wanna toss the oats. OATS [Avena sativa] Storage protein, (prolamin), is known as avenin. Controversy exists whether pure OATS are problematic for those diagnosed with celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis. OAT prolamins comprise only about 10-15% of the total protein in OATS, much less than in wheat, barley, or rye. Unfortunately, at this time, there is no known source for pure OATS that have not been potentially contaminated by wheat. na Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
