Products from oat flour can be included in the gluten-free diet, as experts in the field of healthy nutrition.

It turned out that oats do not cause unpleasant symptoms in the victims of celiac disease like other cereals, writes Chronicle. Info referring to healthinfo.

People suffering from celiac disease can start their morning with oatmeal porridge, as the oats turned out to be safe. Researchers found that unlike other cereals, oats do not worsen the condition of people suffering from immunity to gluten. However, they need to make sure that they buy pure oats that do not contain traces of other cereal crops. More research is needed to understand why pure oats do not provoke worsening of celiac disease symptoms. And if they also confirm its safety, it is oat flour that will help people with gluten immunity to use very useful grains that they are forced to exclude from their diet.

"Unlike other cereal crops, oats are a source of high-quality proteins, vitamins and minerals," the study authors at McMaster University in Canada say. - For a person diagnosed with celiac disease, including oats in a gluten-free diet will increase not only its nutritional value, but also the overall quality of life ".

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects about 1% of the total population of our planet.

In the victims of this disorder, the use of even an insignificant amount of gluten in wheat, rye and the like can cause an immune reaction that damages the intestines. Over time, these reactions lead to malnutrition, osteoporosis, chronic inflammatory processes and other problems.

Recent studies have shown that people with celiac disease are also more likely to suffer from heart disease, because because of the exclusion of gluten from the diet, they do not benefit from whole-grain products that protect the heart.
