Best Answer

All oat flour has oat gluten in it, but the problem is that up to 70% of US oat stock is contaminated with wheat gluten due to processing practices - so if you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, you can't assume oats are safe unless you've checked with the manufacturer or the package is specifically marked.

Oatmeal is (purely) coursely ground up oats, which means that it contains no wheat flour. However oatmeal flour is made up of finely ground oats - as such oatmeal does contain oat flour.

What other flours can I use instead of wheat?

There are self rising, all purpose, rye, corn, oat, potato, cake, bread, just to name a few. The above answer is true, however in most recipes you cannot simply substitute wheat flour with rye/corn/oat etc... because they all have very different properties. With speciality flours (such as those above) it is best to only use them in recipes that are designed for use with them. For example, rye is quite heavy, gluten free and has a distinctive taste. This makes it unsuitable for most sweet goods, and goods that require shaping (such as biscuits) due to the gluten free nature of rye flour. Oat flour is much heavier than wheat flour, and also absorbs more water. It results in hard, dense goods when used in standard baking recipes. Potato flour is also gluten free; doughs made with gluten flour are essentially the same texture as mashed potato.

Can you use gluten free flour instead of self raising flour?

Technically all flour has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein found in food processed from wheat and other related species. Different kinds of flours have different levels of gluten (bread flour has high gluten vs. cake flour with low gluten). Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with salt and some kind of leavening agent. So yes, self-rising flour, like all flour has gluten in it. It just doesn't have special amount added or taken away like bread or cake flour does. It has same gluten content as all-purpose flour.
