I beg to differ Skin does absorb things, including gluten. I've been taking care of my four year old granddaughter this summer and I've been gluttened all summer just by handling her food. I am Very Careful, and wash my hands, etc. But it still gets to me. On the days I when I'm not around her food I start to feel better. She starts school...

ARCHIVED Coffee
trekker replied to trekker's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I googled "gluten in coffee beans", and found that piece of info at WikiAnswers - Is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters gluten free. So while it is not an "official" answer, it is probably true.

Just wondering if anybody else has had a problem with coffee. (I drink it black). I've been reacting to something over the last 2 weeks and the only thing I come up with is the (organic french roast) coffee I got (and ground) at Winco.
