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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
