    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.

    "Combine 1 cup buckwheat groats and 2 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook until tender, about 10 minutes."
    "Nutritional Profile. Buckwheat is a very good source of manganese and a good source of copper, magnesium, dietary fiber and phosphorus. ... The protein in buckwheat is a high quality protein, containing all eight essential amino acids, including lysine."
    "Australian Grown Buckwheat Flour and Kernels. ... Buckwheat (not related to wheat) is gluten free, high in magnesium and has a balanced amino acid profile. Buckwheat is also low GI, making it a very healthy alternative to commonly used gluten free flours such as rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch."
