According to the latest European research, pure oats are safe for most people with celiac disease, and contamination is the main problem facing people with celiac disease who wish to eat oats.

According to the results of a recent study, adults with diet-treated celiac disease show no elevation in anti-avenin IgA by oats, supporting the notion that most adult celiac disease patients can tolerate oats.

There still isn’t any official definitive evidence one-way or the other as to just how safe oats are for folks on a gluten-free diet, though there are more studies of this nature being undertaken, and data collection and genetic mapping and testing help us to build a better picture.
