Can patients on a gluten-free diet tolerate oats?
What will be an ideal response?
• Restriction of oats is controversial primarily because the processing and manufacturing of oats may expose this grain to other grains processed in the same facilities.
• It is generally recommended to restrict initially and then attempt to add back after symptoms have resolved.
• It is recommended that initial intake be limited to ½ c. daily.
• Restriction to 50 grams of safe (no more than 20 ppm gluten) dry oats per day (1 cup cooked) has been suggested to be safe in several studies
• It is also recommended to find out where oat products were manufactured and to avoid any grains from bulk bins.
• Gluten-free oats manufactured on dedicated equipment (and thus not in danger of cross-contamination) are available and can be selected.
