That sounds correct to me. "Gluten free" would be free of wheat, barley and rye. Whereas "wheat free" could still contain barely or rye.

I've also noticed a lot of wheat free products have oats.

I have seen a lot of wheat free that has oats or barley, not so much rye, like the newman own stuff.

But yes gluten free means wheat free.

Gluten free does mean wheat free unless you are talking about distilled alcohol!!

Not so in the Uk!

Gluten free can still contain up to 200parts per million (codex)-so a no no for any allergic to wheat.

<_< ,but hey,you're in the States so ignore me!! :)

yeah, it's kinda one of those a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't a square type of things.

anyway gluten free should be wheat free in the US (for now, I have heard rumblings otherwise)

but wheat free can still have gluten (although I suspect I am repeating and should have read the thred)

Yes, if it says gluten free you are usually good but check the label anyways because that is a good habit to be getting into and just make sure there is not something obvious on there that would contain gluten. If it says wheat free then it probably has rye, barley, or oats in it so definitely check that label good.

Not to confuse the issue, but some companies, such as Arrowhead Mills, will put a "wheat-free" label on the box even if the product does not contain any gluten ingredients. They chose the wheat-free label over the gluten-free label because that particular batch was not tested for gluten.

I have heard reports, but not seen first hand, that some products labeld gluten-free contain oats. Until we have a defintion of gluten-free here in America, I dont think you can trust lable "gluten-free" unless its from a known brand thats good about it (ie Enjoylife, Nestle, and otherss)

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
