Thanks for the feedback: what specifically makes you think that: what symptoms?
Thanks, Isn't gluten wheat? I rarely eat wheat at all. (Except during refeed type times). I see it's oats too. I eat oats only occasionally, in my favorite Body for Life Golden Pancakes (1C oats, 1C egg whites, 1C cottage cheese, cinnamon, 2 packets splenda)
"A gluten-free diet is recommended amongst other things in the treatment of coeliac disease and wheat allergy. It is a diet completely free of ingredients derived from gluten-containing cereals: wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, and triticale, as well as the use of gluten as a food additive in the form of a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent. Additionally, the diet may exclude oats. Some people for whom the diet is recommended can tolerate oat products and some medical practitioners say they may be permitted,[1] but there is controversy about including them in a gluten-free diet because studies on the subject are incomplete.[2]"
love the sleuthing; I'll ask my doctor again.
