I’m new to raw, and I have a question about oats. I have celiac disease, and so it’s terribly hard to find gluten-free oats (or, rather, oats free of cross contamination). The ones I have found I don’t have a reaction to, but they’re kiln roasted, much to my chagrin. I have eaten them in raw recipes recently, but am a bit agitated considering they’ve already been heated. My question is, am I defeating the purpose too much by eating them? Would it be better to continue eating them raw? Cooked? Should I just give them up altogether? I have limited breakfast-type options as I’m allergic to a plethora of foods, so any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks for all of the advice/encouragement. I’m hoping eventually I can ditch them, but for some reason my stomach goes haywire if I don’t eat something of the starchy sort in the morning. I can only really eat fruit if I eat it with it, too, but I’m slowly incorporating more and more berries and nuts into my morning routine so that I can eventually wean myself from all of the heavy grains. I just realized it’s rather funny though, that I actually don’t like oatmeal, but eat it rather out of ‘necessity’, haha.
