Hello to everyone
Pasha loves to eat oatmeal cooked with water. But I am confused. Should oatmeal contain gluten? Or shouldn't it contain?
Is it harmful for Gluten Pasha?
Thank you.

Oatmeal usually does not contain gluten. For people with celiac disease where eating oats that have been produced on the same line as wheat products, it can be bad news. So, naturally, oats contain no gluten but largely because of the recent fad diets around it, many products that don't normally contain gluten are getting a "gluten free" label purely for marketing. I saw gluten free apples once :lol:

Long story short, there isn't any reason I'm aware of to avoid gluten for parrots, and oats should contain none to a trace amount.
