I've never heard of this. It doesn't seem too likely to me. I definitely wouldn't worry about it.

Definitely blowing smoke from multiple places that don't see the sun!
Water is Hydrogen (2 molecules) and Oxygen (1 molecule). It can have minerals in it from the ground, like iron, magnesium, etc. But DEFINITELY not gluten which is a protein (not a mineral) found only in Wheat Barley and Rye - none of which are found in water, EVER.

I believe the only water that would ever have gluten would be one of those flavoured waters you buy in bottles.

Absolutely no truth to that at all. Some of these "gluten myths never cease to amaze me......

Maybe those flavoured or 'special' water either the ingredients themselves contain gluten or it could be unintended / unavoidable cross contamination in the factory.
Or the water could have been messed with.
Otherwise I am pretty sure water does not contain gluten.
