Would You Eat A Mainstream Cereal That Has Oat Flour?

I don't eat breakfast a lot (I know I should), and this morning I was a little hungry; so I went down to the cafeteria at work to find something. There were a whole bunch of cereals and so just for curiousity sake I picked a few up to see if of the previous good or bad options had any ingredient changes. I was reading the Lucky Charms box and it seems the only questionable ingredient is Oat Flour. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Oat Flour is gluten free... so do you think we can eat cereals that have oat flour or would you not trust it to be uncontaminated oat flour?

(P.S. I decided nothing down there looked exciting enough and nixed breafast).

Ok, feel free to ignore this... I just looked at the ingredients online again and didn't notice that one of the last few ingredients is Wheat Starch. Oh well.

Ohh, how I wish wish wish that someone would put out a gluten-free version of Lucky Charms!!! It's one of the things Lucas misses the most! :(

Oats depend on your reactions as a person, however, I'm not sure if I were going to eat Oats, I'd trust the main stream brands...I do miss me lucky charms though :) I wish someone made a cereal of just those marshmallows that we could have...probably not the healthiest thing however.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
