Reactions to Oats: People with Coeliac Disease

Some people with Coeliac Disease still suffer a reaction to Gluten Free oats. Oats contain a protein called Avenin which some people can also be sensitive to. If you have just been diagnosed Coeliac the chances are your healthcare professional will recommend you avoid oats. According to the NHS you should avoid eating oats until your new diet has been well established and stabilised, then try to reintroduce oats slowly. You can find this advice here
