I have no idea if it is gluten-free, but I guess "Wheat" could refer to leaves/grass, not grains.

I have seen a product that contained wheat stems.

To use is a personal decision--personally, I would not.

I wouldn't either. If you need fiber getting it from food is the best way to go. Increase your veggies and fruits. If you don't normally eat a lot of them increase your intake slowly to avoid gas. If your system still isn't healed cook them first rather than eating raw. One of the best food sources of fiber is sweet potatoes they have both soluable and insoluable fiber.

Nor would I. As Raven pointed out, there are plenty of other options.

When Benefiber first came out on market, it was gluten free and then they changed the formula to include the wheat. That's when my husband stopped using it. He currently uses something he buys from CVS called "Easy Fiber" and it has corn dextrin. Bottle states that it is Gluten Free. Rite Aid has their own type of product too - and it states Gluten Free on the label as well.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
