Re: Subject Re:Gluten Free verses Wheat Free

I find that interesting. Though for myself, I avoid wheat grass. My old partner used to make it up fresh and it always made me feel strange... Everyone however is a little different.BeaFrom: Carol Powers <cwpowers@...>Subject: [ ] Subject Re:Gluten Free verses Wheat Free Date: Sunday, November 2, 2008, 10:44 AM

Hi,

I remember a power bar that contained wheat grass but claimed to be gluten-free. After making calls, I learned that wheat grass is

gluten-free because it doesn't contain the offending protein of the wheat kernel. Go figure! I don't trust something that claims to be

wheat-free until I do the research or the ingredients list clearly doesn't contain barley, rye or oats. If it is made on equipment that also processes wheat, it is still suspect until doing the research and I am satisfied that they clean the lines well between runs. If it is made in a facility that also processes wheat, sometimes I'll risk it depending on what it is. If I'm not up for any risks, I'll pass on it or call. Seems to me that if a product is wheat-free and also gluten-free, it would be a marketing advantage to label it as such. Just my take on your question.
