I have been purchasing 'gluten free' oats as I had been told that both Irish and Scottish Oats were absolutely sure to NOT be cross contaminated as the USA sources were.  You make the same references but what do I do to find oats that will be safe for myself?<br/><br/>

I'm now using them for oatmeal, granola, granola bars etc. My kids love them and my younger one who has a very sensitive tummy that hurts after even the possibility of cross-contamination, seems fine eating them on a regular basis.
They are expensive, but so nutritious, I really wanted to include them in our gluten-free diet.<br/><br/>

The consequence rated among the most frightening of any food I've eaten, with blood being drawn from my intestine. I have wondered since if damage from oats is related more to the severity of one's sensitivity, and that those reporting no response may be in earlier phases of the disease?<br/><br/>

Just a thought?  There are different genes that carry celiac--maybe you can eat them if your celiac is from Irish celiac genes, but if your celiac genes are from somewhere else, oats are no good?<br/><br/>

The reason oats get contaminated is because regular oats are farmed by the same equipment as wheat is- thus they are contaminated. So a dedicated farm that raises only oats are gluten-free and free of contamination. Most people don't look to see that products will say, ' processed on the same equipment as nuts, wheat, etc... '

Also I must add to women with menopause,  like me that you may find that you will have a reaction to starches like oats due to your glucose levels fluctuate during menopause and causes similar reactions you would get from eating gluten's- I get seriously fatigued sometimes when eating starches.<br/><br/>

I've decided to continue using oatmeal that's certified as grown on a dedicated field and processed on gluten-free equipment.  But I'll give up making occasional exceptions for any other oat product.<br/><br/>

She is very careful about her diet and it had been years since she's had a reaction.  This evening we tried Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free oats and she is now in the midst of a severe reaction.  I am now concerned about the possibility of cross contamination of other BRM products produced in the same facility in which they process oats.<br/><br/>

Valid concern though. I would not allow your daughter to consume oats from any source unfortunately.
One thing that seems clear is some celiac patients are sensitive to oats and some are not. It seems to be the only directly correlated data on this still fuzzy topic! 
Hope your daughter recovered quickly and had  a great Christmas 2011!<br/><br/>
