While waiting for them I was perusing the merchandise tables and you know what I found? an entire table of snacks, many of which were gluten free (and dairy free)! While not new to reading food labels (thankfully, then I really would have been overwhelmed!), I'm new to monitoring for allergens- I just found out a few weeks ago that my children are both allergic to dairy and one is allergic to wheat. I know that's not the same as gluten intolerance, but it is nice to know that whenever I see something "gluten free" that my son can eat it (after I check for dairy:).

There is a cross contamination problem. That being said, some very sensitive celiacs do not tolerate even certified gluten free oats. I love oats and was so happy to see Bob's Red Mill gluten free oats at my local health food store.

Also, WHERE they are grown in the fields, by themselves or near other grains. I use almond meal for my Health Nut Cookies, however have been asked to make 'oat meal cookies'. If anyone here knows a wholesale connection for gluten free oats, please let me know. Thank you, Natasha From everything I’ve read about GF Oats is that

Isn't oatmeal by it's very nature, glutenous. By what process does it go from full gluten to GF. I generally trust the Red Mill products,but now I'm not so sure.
