My roommate came home today all excited that she found a place (besides Risotteria) to get gluten-free pizza...this place called Slice on the UES. So i excitedly look at the menu and it says choose ur crust: "Honey Whole Wheat, Unbleached Herb, or Spelt (Gluten Free)"

Am I missing something? I thought Spelt flour was not gluten-free???

You are correct, and they are incorrect. Spelt has gluten (the kind that's bad for us).

Thanks Tiffany, i thought i was going crazy... its hard enough to read labels, etc. but this is the second time this has happened to me recently, where there is a product labeled gluten free and it has spelt flour-- FYI the other was at Tasti-Dlite- they are now advertising gluten free baked goods (cookies, muffins, etc) and they are all made w/ spelt flour. so I thought maybe i had gotten my info from a bad source... I did tell the woman at Tasti Dlite- maybe i should go to Slice as well. We have to get the word out to restaurants on this kind of thing!

That is messed up! If I lived in NYC I would take a trip to them and explain to them that spelt is 'wheat-free' but NOT gluten-free. They are being incredibly irresponsible listing it as such.

Last week I had two different people tell me that it is okay to eat spelt. I told them spelt is wheat and they didn't believe me!

People go back and forth on that a lot and many spelt products are said to be gluten-free.

Spelt is definitely NOT gluten free. People just misunderstand because some people on a wheat free diet (not gluten-free) do eat spelt.

Spelt certainly is not gluten-free. "a wheat (Triticum aestivum spelta) with lax spikes and spikelets containing two light red kernels." Now, you will get some health food store employees who will tell you it's gluten-free, but it's not. And the article on this site warning against various common pitfalls in a gluten-free diet discusses misinformed health food store employees trying to push spelt on celiacs (lol, push... I inadvertently made it sound like a drug :lol: ). Not gluten-free at all.

OMG - what is wrong with people? Mookie, are you a strong person and if so, are you willing to confront some of these idiots? If not, I might do a search on the web and try to find phone numbers and call these guys......

Definitely not cool on their part.

YES i def am, but unfortunately i have been insanely busy and have not had a chance to call them (website does not list an email). however, I just went to the website and the menu no longer lists gluten free next to spelt!! someone else from this site already take the initiative? If so, you rock- and sorry i didnt get a chance to jump on this one...I did of course get in a big fight w/ the lady at Tasty D-lite, so i guess that counts for something!!!

It is on us to all do our part to get the word out...i went to a restaurant last night and asked the waiter about gluten and he said "well, the strawberries in ur drink have glucose in them- there is sugar in lots of foods" -- GRRR!!!!! :P

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
