Best Answer

If you have a wheat allergy you can eat Oats that are specifically labeled GLUTEN FREE.

You SHOULD NOT eat oats that are NOT specifically labeled "gluten free" as these oats contain wheat. This is because oats that are not gluten free use the same equipment to be processed as is used on wheat.

Gluten free oats only use equipment for processing that NEVER touches wheat. Therefore they are safe to eat and are not contaminated with wheat.

It depends.

If you have an intolerance to oats because you have a gluten intolerance, then you will not be able to eat wheat either.

If you are allergic to oats (which is different to an intolerance), you may or may not be also allergic to wheat too.

Your doctor needs to do a skin prick test to determine what exactly you are allergic to.

A person who needs to avoid wheat due to an allergy can eat oats because it is an entirely different grain and not in the wheat family like buckwheat is.

Can you be allergic to chicken but not eggs?

* Gluten to a part of wheat so if you are allergic to wheat you are also allergic to gluten. * On the contrary. I have had allergy testing done, and I am allergic to wheat, but NOT gluten. Gluten is a protein FROM wheat/rye/barley/oats etc. I would imagine if you are like myself, you are allergic to something different in the wheat to the gluten protein. * You can be allergic or have intolerance to both. I have.

Do Starbucks oat bars contain gluten?

barley does contain gluten. oats do not contain gluten inherently, however, most oat crops are grown in close proximity to wheat fields so cross-contamination can occur frequently. Thus, oats are not recommended in a gluten free diet. However, Bob's Red Mill has a gluten free product line which includes gluten free oats which are grown in fields designated solely for oats. Oat products that say "wheat free" are not always free of gluten contamination. Only eat oat products that say "gluten free".
