For the gluten-intolerant, the only way to safely consume oats or oat products is to purchase certified gluten-free oats. Certified gluten-free oats are grown in a similar fashion as organic crops. To begin, a field must lay fallow for 4 years, eliminating the possibility of volunteer plants. All harvesting and processing equipment must be solely used for the production of oats. The final step is the certification process. Farmers that grow and process oats in this way can then apply for gluten-free certification through one of the national gluten intolerance organizations, who then inspect and test the oats and the processing facility to ensure the above steps are followed and that the oats do in fact meet the U.S. accepted standard of gluten-free, currently less than 20ppm. The inspection is similar to kosher inspections and in fact is conducted by rabbis. All Glutenfreeda Foods oat products are made with certified gluten-free oats.

Celiac disease occurs when a protein called gluten - found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats - generates an immune reaction in the small intestine of susceptible people. Food normally doesn't provoke a response by the body's immune system - the body's defense against microbes and other threats to health, but in a person with Celiac disease, the ingestion of gluten triggers a reaction from the immune system that causes the lining of the small intestine to become inflamed and swollen. This results in the ‘villi’, the tiny hair like projections in the small intestine to shrink and eventually disappear. In a healthy body, the villi absorb vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from food. With shrunken or no villi, a person with Celiac loses the ability to digest and absorb nutrients; resulting in malabsorption. Malabsorption can deprive the brain, nervous system, bones, liver and other organs of nourishment and cause vitamin deficiencies that may lead to other illnesses.

If you have celiac disease, a gluten-free diet is the only way to avoid doing further damage to your intestinal lining and villi. Once gluten, found in hundreds of common foods, is removed from the diet, the digestive tract may begin healing within several days. Significant healing and re-growth of the villi may take several months in younger people and as long as 2 to 3 years in older individuals.
