Gluten In Water?

[Gluten Ogre]

Hi,

Somebody told me that water specially well water can contain gluten, is there any truth to that at all? or just somebody blowing smoke from where the sun don't shine!

Thanks

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

Yup, blowin' smoke I believe.

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 NOT. Please do NOT pass this along to any other board or group. End this rumor right here and now.

And I've never found one of those with gluten.

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.
