"The patient’s celiac disease should be well controlled on a gluten-free diet and the patient should have no gastrointestinal complaints. [Oats are generally acceptable but] it is recommended that adults receive no more than 1/2 - 3/4 cup dry rolled oats and children receive no more than 1/4 cup of pure uncontaminated oats daily."

"Our results show that even long term use of moderate amounts of oats included in a gluten free diet in adult patients with CD [celiac disease] is safe. If allowed, most patients with CD prefer some oats in their diet."

"Without exception, these investigations found no adverse effects associated with the regular consumption of moderate amounts of oats... Ideally, if a patient appears likely to use oats, they should be advised to consume only those products tested and found to be free of contamination."
