    Celiac.com 01/22/2022 - All by themselves oats are a naturally gluten-free food. However, commercial oats are often contaminated with wheat, barley or rye. It's important for people with celiac disease to make sure oat products are gluten-free. For celiacs, the best way is to choose trusted oat products that are either certified gluten-free, labeled gluten-free, or known to be gluten-free and safe. This list does not include granola, as we will cover gluten-free granola brands in another article.

    However, here's a list of gluten-free cereals that includes granola.

    I used Quaker's gluten free oats and sat on the toilet for three hours. I’m coeliac, but packaging says GLUTEN FREE. I don’t think so sadly but I really liked them, they didn’t like me….

    Around 9% of celiacs also have an avenin (oat protein) intolerance that is considered to be separate from celiac disease, it sounds like you may be in this group.

    Hi,

    Are Rice Chex TRULY Gluten Free ?

    Very paranoid after my last experience with Gluten. I would like to be sure.

    This is time sensitive information - so I appreciate any assistance.

     

    Thank you.

    Yes, if they are labelled "gluten-free" they should really be gluten-free.

    The Nature's Path Organic Gluten Free Whole O's Cereal does NOT contain oats, according to a picture of the box on the Nature's Path website (Open Original Shared Link). It is, instead, a "blend of whole grain rice & corn."

    Oats - 20 PPM allowed by the FDA - Celiacs beware! Not safe.

    In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe.

    Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level) in foods which they have labelled gluten-free, especially a USA-based company (lawsuits in the USA are far more common and easier to win in such cases), they will immediately seek to find and eliminate the source of the gluten contamination.

    There is a very common myth or misconception that companies don't care at all if their products test between 5-19ppm, but they definitely do because a product recall could be just around the corner should they hit the 20ppm or higher level. Many people, including myself, now have home test kits like Nima, and companies are definitely aware of this.
