Celiac Disease Diet – Foods to Eat & Avoid

Oats

Oats actually do not contain gluten. However, people with celiac disease should avoid this food because it is often contaminated with other grains during the distribution or transport process. Even when these products are completely free of gluten, some studies have shown that some people might be sensitive to oats. It is because there is a small amount of avenin in oats. This form of protein can lead to the symptoms of celiac disease in some people. Make sure to discuss with your doctor before adding oats to your diet. Also, it is important to purchase pure products that there is no possibility of contamination. [2]
