My nephew eats oat matza, and my brother most definitely does not have anything good to say about it

IIRC they say gluten free do they may avoid that. In general considering the way they avoid cross contamination between batches I would imagine that i it is not that difficult to go that extra step.

It's more complicated than that they need to use oats that were grown in area that's separated from other grains

Apparently Rabbi Kestenbaum has developed oats which are 100% gluten free.
Of the 5 grains which can be used for Matzos, oats have the least gluten. He planted a field of oats, tested them to see which part of the field had least gluten, replanted those kernels and did the same thing with the new crop. He repeated this a number of times until he got gluten free oats.

I don't know what the going price is. The link is what came up when I searched on Google as an example.

I bought my son oat matzah.
He took one bite and said it was worse than marror!
It's not simple that oats really are one of the חמשת מיני דגן but it is the only choice for some unfortunately.

yes, lakewood and kestenbaum are the 2 that are gluten free, unless there is a new one this year. They are both equally expensive and  awful

Are these only the thick round ones or do they have the everyday boxed ones also?
