Are you sorting through your beans looking for gluten? Here i found barley in my lentils. The packaging of this brand states lentils are “naturally gluten free” and they have “transparent ingredients”. Do not assume your beans and lentils are gluten free. Always sort through them.

This was my concern...if drinking oat milk make sure it’s certified GF and that they are using certified gluten free oats to make it.

Oat Beverages & Celiac Disease: Why We Are a Bit Concerned:

Bottom line: If you drink oat-based beverages, please choose products you trust made using gluten-free oats. 𝐆𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲.

𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: The part per million level of a product is obviously important BUT it doesn’t tell the whole story. The amount of gluten ingested depends on BOTH the ppm level AND the weight amount of product eaten. Each 1.0 ounce/28.35 gram amount of product ingested at the 20-ppm level provides about 0.57 milligrams of gluten.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝? Gluten Free Watchdog recently tested an oat “milk” NOT labeled gluten-free. It contained a level of gluten of approximately 12 ppm. This seems fine, right? BUT have you considered how many ounces by weight you drink of various beverages?

𝐆𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐝. The 8-ounce (by weight) glass of oat milk in the photo testing at a 12 ppm level of gluten contains about 2.7 milligrams of gluten.

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are more commonly found in individuals with celiac disease. While the relationship between these two conditions remains unclear, having one of these diseases puts you at a higher risk of developing the other.

Alert for Restaurant French Fries:

If you have celiac disease or a gluten-related disorder and you have considered eating fries cooked in a shared fryer with wheat, please reconsider (and please no shaming on this page of those who may comment that they have done this in the past). We finally have published testing data in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. The open access article is available at https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2021.652039.

Thank you to colleagues Amy Keller, Trisha Lyons, Nancee Jaffe, and Luke Emerson-Mason for their hard work and perseverance.

Do you know everything you need to know about oats? Are the safe? What’s the difference between GF oats and regular oats? Read this article.
If you eat oats or drink oat milk they should certified GF oats. Let us know if you have any questions.

“Are these oats really gluten-free?” The concern with oats is that they could be “contaminated” by gluten grains from sources from the field to processing.
