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?"...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
