Same thing happened to a friend and I was surprised when she told me that oats were not permitted. I think there are oats which are gluten free but you need to google it to find out. Also likely to be more expensive. I buy 1 kg for $3.50. Indeed, just replenished my stock from the local IGA. I could buy cheaper but they look different, those black and gold ones, so stuck to my Lowan's brand.
Why not try Buck Wheat which is gluten-free. Bought some for friend which are Organic and up market. She's not bothered cooking them. Hope the info from the internet helps you.
