I recently found out oats may NOT be safe for people with Celiac disease. Dr. Michelle Sullivan, a Celiac herself said this "Do NOT try oatmeal. University of Chicago released a study proving that although the oats maybe gluten-free they are sogenetically similar to gluten that the oats cause the same changes in the lining of the small intestine as gluten."
Dr Sullivan works out of Joliet. She mentioned this to me in January 2009.
