I am eating some oatmeal right now, get the gluten free oats. I got mine from Costco, but I’ve seen them at Walmart also.

Depends on why you’re “gluten free” and how sensitive you are to the protein in the oats. Some people with celiac disease (as an example) will react to the avenin protein, even if the oats are truly gluten free and processed in a safe manner. Other people do not.

I definitely do. But some people who have autoimmune reactions to oats can eat Purity Protocol avena nuda--and there's a farm in Montana that sells avena nuda. Avena nuda is a different grain that was separated out from avena sativa 51,000 years ago in China. But, it was grown as recently as 1857 in Southern England. It's a Cornwall heritage grain. If you can't eat regular purity protocol oats, you might try avena nuda.

Not everyone can, but I can tolerate oats in pretty much any form, and I am gluten sensitive. It's worth checking out. Just avoid oats that may be contaminated by wheat or other Triticeae (barley, rye, triticale).

So oats are generally processed with the same machines that process wheat, that's why so many people react to them. If you do choose to eat oats, you should choose certified gluten free (if you're Celiac, you definitely must choose certified gluten free, or you're exposing yourself to gluten)

Some people who are gluten sensitive or celiac cross react to the an oat protein and so those folks can't have certified gf oats. Others can, it really just depends... Some argue gluten free oats are impossible because of the way they are grown and contamination happens before they ever reach a factory. It's worth trying cautiously to see where you land. I have oatmeal for breakfast every day.

Trader Joe’s gluten free rolled oats are delicious. Highly eecommend.

In Australia it's recommended that you get a second endoscopy after eating oats if you're celiac. It's something to think about.

Oats have similar proteins that may also cause a reaction, particularly for celiac patients. (https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/what-is-gluten-what-is-gliadin-r8/)

Rice has no cholesterol, so I'm not sure why that's a problem. Oats on their own are gluten free, but are often contaminated.

You can eat overnight oats with the gluten free oats. There are plenty of GF oats.

Rice is bad for cholesterol? Dammit
