Pure oats are a grain that is separate from wheat, so oats are wheat free. However, oats and wheat are often harvested together and milled in the same processing facility. And due to the similar shape and size of the wheat kernel and oat groat, cross-contamination is always a possibility.here is a similar, yet not identical, protein in oats that some people react to. Wheat is a type of grain, and gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, barley, rye, and some other grains. Gluten is the component that gives bread dough its elasticity, and gives bread its chewy texture.
Oats are very healthy. They are high in fiber, nutrients and omega 3 fatty acids that keep your body and heart in optimum shape. Despite its healthy characteristics, people can develop allergic reactions to oats. Oat allergy shouldn't be confused with celiac disease. Celiac is gluten intolerance and oats don't always have gluten. In fact, people with gluten allergy substitute oats for wheat and other products that have gluten. Celiac is often linked to oat allergy because some of the people allergic to gluten also experience minor allergic symptoms when they ingest oats.
