Health Canada has released its position on the introduction of pure oats into the diet of individuals diagnosed with Celiac Disease
Health Canada has completed its review of recent scientific research on the safety of pure oats, uncontaminated with other cereal grains such as wheat, barley and ryes for people with celiac disease. Most current scientific research suggests that the majority of people with celiac disease can tolerate limited amounts of pure oats. These studies have increased
interest in the possibility of adding oats to a gluten-free diet, as this would permit a wider choice of foods for individuals with celiac disease and provide an important source of proteins, carbohydrates and fibre.
