Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 If it were me, I would just type back this: WHITE FLOUR IS MADE FROM WHEAT AND IS THEREFORE NOT, NOT, *NOT* GLUTEN FREE!!!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I essentially did :-p I tried at the end to sound a little nicer, but how can someone be that stupid??? I mean granted I had a mom who baked, but I don't ever remember a time in my life when I didn't know what "wheat" was (And I've only been diagnosed for the last four years or so) lol, oh and I just saw your last comment, yeah, I was tempted to throw out a bunch of words, but luckily it was online and not in person, so I contained myself!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I am reminded of a time I went to my grandmother’s for a birthday celebration. She kept insisting I could eat the bakery made cake because it was made with “flour, not with wheat”. She then said, well, you can eat the middle, can’t you? NO. I said. She shut up. Honestly though, I am tempted, every time someone says something that stupid, to offer to come over to their place and eat it, just to test it out. The only caveat? Any “reaction” I have, I get to have it on their living room rug… ;-) From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of cory katt Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 9:33 PM Subject: RE: [ ] makes me want to scream I essentially did :-p I tried at the end to sound a little nicer, but how can someone be that stupid???

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 lol, yes, I've had people tell me that one too! Although I think its only been people in restaurants, not anyone I really knew (nono, the soup only has a little FLOUR in it, no wheat!) And then there's the pasta thing, there are an amazingly large number of people who have NO idea where pasta comes from (I think they think it grows on the pasta tree).

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I think a lot of peoples' confusion on this stems from the fact that the bread industry call the two types " White Bread " and " Wheat Bread " , even though they're really both made of wheat. I've always thought that terminology was stupid. -Joe my friend just made this comment on my facebook page: " But I think they would have been gluten free if I had used white flour.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hey, when I first was diagnosed, I thought I could eat the filling from pies. I know more now. H. I am reminded of a time I went to my grandmother’s for a birthday celebration. She kept insisting I could eat the bakery made cake because it was made with “flour, not with wheatâ€. She then said, well, you can eat the middle, can’t you? -----Original Message----- From: Lillyth Denaghy Keogh-Quillan <lillythdenaghykeogh@...> Sent: Sat, Sep 5, 2009 11:01 pm Subject: RE: [ ] makes me want to scream I am reminded of a time I went to my grandmother’s for a birthday celebration.
