It usually is, but it is best to check the label. There are very inexpensive brands (including regular and organic) that are clearly labeled to not contain gluten.
Most matzah is made from wheat, so most matzah has gluten, and most matzah balls are made from commonplace matzah meal. Gluten-free oat matzah is available. if you make your matzah meal from oat matzah, and then make your matzah balls from oat matzah, then they will be gluten free.
barley does contain gluten. oats do not contain gluten inherently, however, most oat crops are grown in close proximity to wheat fields so cross-contamination can occur frequently. Thus, oats are not recommended in a gluten free diet. However, Bob's Red Mill has a gluten free product line which includes gluten free oats which are grown in fields designated solely for oats. Oat products that say "wheat free" are not always free of gluten contamination. Only eat oat products that say "gluten free". WOW brand makes a great Oregon Oatmeal cookie. hope that helps. for more details on gluten and gluten containing foods, you can go to www.celiac.com
Organic. It's a plant protein.
All oat flour has oat gluten in it, but the problem is that up to 70% of US oat stock is contaminated with wheat gluten due to processing practices - so if you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, you can't assume oats are safe unless you've checked with the manufacturer or the package is specifically marked.
Oats are naturally gluten free. However, gluten containing grains like wheat, rye and barley could have been grown in fields nearby and come into contact with the oats during harvest or transportation. As the world's leading experts in oat milling, Quaker developed a process to ensure strict standards for Gluten Free are met. Look for Gluten Free labels on packages of Quick Quaker Oats and Instant Quaker Oatmeal.

The genus and species name of the oat is Avena sativa. The oat is a member of the grass family. The part of the oat that is eaten by humans is the seed of the plant.
Read the ingredient list on your product. Pure Shea butter alone is 100% gluten-free BUT oatmeal is NOT gluten-free. Other ingredients such as vitamin E can be derived from wheat-germ oil and that contains gluten. So I would look for a product that is oat, wheat, barley, rye, vitamin E/tocopherol FREE. The smaller the ingredient list the better.
