spelt and soy sauce question

[Guest guest]

I was speaking with a friend whose husband has had celiac disease for over 20 years. She was recommending to me a local bakery's spelt bread that she said her husband eats daily. She also said he is able to eat any kind of soy sauce (including the kind with wheat). When I questioned this, she insisted that he has no reaction to these items, though other gluten foods make him quite ill. What should I make of this? I know there are some with celiac who say distilled alcohol is ok for them and others who say it is not ok for them; but I have never heard anyone else suggest that spelt -- an ancient kind of wheat -- and wheat soy sauce is okay. Have you? I don't know how he was diagnosed but his wife said he doesn't receive any follow-up care; he simply "keeps it under control." If we could eat spelt bread and not worry about soy sauce, wouldn't that be wonderful!
