It may not be the gluten at all. Gluten is all the rave right now, but if (gluten-free!) oats give you the same or worse reaction, it means it is not likely gluten. There is new research suggesting that these reactions are triggered by certain carbs, not gluten (a protein).

Do research FODMAP - those are certain carbs in wheat, rye and oats, and a lot of more recent research out of Australia says they, not gluten, may be why "gluten free" diets work for some people without celiac disease.

If you can stand it, try gluten balls - pure gluten but none of the carbs
