Gluten Free Wheat!

I bought some cookies that were labelled gluten free but there were 2 ingredient labels and one listed wheat flour!! So, I called the company and they reassured me that there was only corn flour in the cookies. They used a pre-labeled "generic" bag they had, so the wheat was listed by mistake. So, I told my darling hubby the story and he said "well, isn't there gluten free wheat flour?". Yikes...I thought he understood that I have to stay away from wheat...but I guess he thought there was gluten-free wheat. Would be inteersting if that existed!

I don't know how much I would trust those cookies.

I hear you. The cookies are brown. I really think they are just corn flour. My daughter likes them, and actually I didn't care for them much. They were only $2 a bag, so that was nice. I was just surprised at my husband's comment. Kinda funny.

I doubt this is what your husband was thinking of, but I have heard that in Europe they are working on taking out gluten from wheat! Maybe they have managed it? I was trying to find a link to refresh my memory and can't find it anymore.

Although honestly, it seems SO stupid. Honestly, the gluten is why wheat is so great to use. If it's gluten free, it's probably going to be killer expensive because of the processing AND will make any wheat allergic folks, so what would be the point?

A little wheat flavor but still a crummy texture? Silly.

My brother called me up the other day while he was at the store. He decided to try being gluten free and asked me if white flour had gluten in it...LOL

Sounds like you need to sit hubby down and give him a stern but educating talking-to. Maybe with visualizations and musical numbers.

(Of course, my own father asked me if milk had gluten in it. :blink: )

I had a waitress insist they didn't use wheat as they only had pancakes! Amazing how uninformed "we" are about our foods!

I told a waitress one time that I had a gluten allergy, and she replied with "So you are allergic to dairy?"...

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
