NO!
Oat bran does not contains gluten and is a perfect
substitute for wheat for people who suffer from gluten
intolerance.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a type of protein found in cereals like wheat
and people who suffer from a disease like celiac should
not eat it.
The sad part is that most of the foods available in
the market are made up of wheat or refined wheat flour.
Gluten creates problems for Celiacs
This creates problems for celiacs. But there is hope
because Oat bran can be used as a perfect alternative
that too without any side effects what so ever.
So can celiacs eat oat bran?
The answer is a definitive yes!
BUT make sure that you get oat bran flour from a mill
which does not use the same machinery to crush the wheat.
Many health experts suggest that it
is not a very good idea because it
may then contain some gluten as some wheat might get
mixed into the bran in the process.
So from next time always buy oat bran four from a trusted
source and make sure that Oat bran does not contain
any gluten.
