Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 There are many spelt products here, > pasta and bread etc and > they are good. I often order cornbread when I go out... Just to clarify: Spelt is an archaic form of wheat. While may not set off allergies in some people, that group is probably a smaller subset of people who can't tolerate gluten -- the hefty protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Oats, with a similarly-sized protein, are problematic for some, too. Spelt contains gluten. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that cornbread doesn't contain wheat -- if it didn't have wheat flour in it, it would be as dense as a hockey puck! Wheat shows up all over the place -- chips and snack foods, salad dressings, non-dairy creamers, french fries, sodas, alcoholic beverages, some chocolates, ice cream, soups, condiments, etc. There is far more of it in our diet, as a hidden additive, than we were ever meant to eat!
