Effect of an oats‐containing gluten‐free diet on symptoms and quality of life in coeliac disease. A randomized study

Abstract

The oats-containing gluten-free diet caused more intestinal symptoms than the traditional diet. Mucosal integrity was not disturbed, but more inflammation was evident in the oats group. Oats provide an alternative in the gluten-free diet, but coeliac patients should be aware of the possible increase in intestinal symptoms.
