Gluten Sensitivity: If you're sensitive to gluten, ensure that the oats you consume are labeled gluten-free, as oats.

Nutrient Absorption: Cooking oats can help release more nutrients, making them more available for absorption.

Potential for Bloating: Raw oats, especially in larger quantities, can sometimes cause bloating or gas due to their high fiber content.
