Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

Most medical professionals say gluten-free oats can be tolerated in limited amounts [up to 1/2 cup per day for adults]. They also suggest restricting oats for one year for those newly diagnosed.


Some celiacs will react to the protein found in oats [avenin], just as they react to the proteins in wheat, barely, rye.

If you choose to add oats to your diet, please make sure they are gluten-free purity protocol oats.
