Diabetics

This group should avoid oats because of its high concentration of carbs, even though they have a low glycemic index. 

Anemics

Iron-deficiency anemia is caused by a lack of iron in the body. Eating oat bran is a serious issue, since it prevents the intestinal tract from completely absorbing the iron, which goes to the blood and plasma after being absorbed. 

Celiacs

As a general rule, celiac people or those who are gluten intolerant must avoid oats anyways, since oats can be handled in places where they also handle cereals that contain gluten, causing cross-contamination.

Intestinal diseases

People who suffer from intestinal diseases, such as enterocolitis, chron's disease, diverticulitis, and others, must avoid consuming oats since it can aggravate their cases, besides causing diarrhea or gastroenteritis. 

Oat allergy 

Oat allergy is a rare reaction of the immune system and can cause infection in the body.
