Hi Timea,
There is a problem with oats and gluten. Oats themselves are gluten free, however they are usually "contaminated" by wheat during growing and harvesting. This is due to the fact that they are grown so close in proximity. So the levels of gluten are low but if you have an issue, such as celiac, or are concerned, you can find certified gluten free oats now. I found them at whole-foods but you can also get them online..Bob's Red mill carries them.
Hope this helps.
In good health-
Sarah
