Wanted to know... is gluten-free buckwheat okay for a celiac? I was given some hot cereal mix made from gluten-free buckwheat and wanted to know if it was okay? Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

buckwheat is safe. It is not technically a grain. It's a berry, I think.

Despite its name, buckwheat has nothing in common with wheat, and is safe for celiacs. Be careful, though, because many buckwheat products also contain other things, such as "buckwheat pancakes" which are mostly wheat with some buckwheat added in.

Yes!!!

I just ran across some new Van's Waffles at Whole Foods that are Buckwheat with blueberries and raspberries and they ROCK!!! Says Gluten-free right on the box!

Buckwheat is from the rhubarb family.

Buckwheat by itself is gluten-free, but be careful, sometimes buckwheat can be mixed with other flours like wheat.

Don't know where you're at, but here in DAllas, TX not only does Whole Foods carry them, but even Kroger here has these waffles. And they do rock!

      Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins in the U.S. as a part of USDA policy. Gluten free facsimile products are not fortified. There is no government mandate for such. When you remove wheat flour by going gluten free, you may be removing a significant source of vitamins.

      Okay.  That doesn't answer the question, but thanks anyway.
