Oat Intolerance

If you have an intolerance (defined by YorkTest as a food-specific IgG reaction) to oats, your body produces an inflammatory response to the proteins in foods or drinks containing oats.

Oat intolerance is not life threatening and the reactions after consuming oats are usually delayed. Oat allergy is rare.
