Most of you won't remember my original post since it was sent on the
morning of Sept. 11.  I did get some replies over the following week,
however.  Thank you to all who replied.  I was trying to determine if my
reaction to some granola I had made was due to the puffed millet or
cross contamination.  I asked:

Have any of you had a gluten reaction to Arrowhead Mills puffed rice or
millet?

Do any of you have trouble with millet and what kind of reaction do you = get?

2 people said millet was not safe for celiacs.  (That's a separate
issue.  Personally I believe it is gluten free but that we could have
trouble tolerating it.)

4 people said that cross contamination with Arrowhead Mills is a problem

5 definite and 2 possible people have had trouble with millet.
Reactions were similar to gluten reactions.

2 people had trouble with Arrowhead Mills puffed rice
1 had no problem with the puffed rice

There were a few other suggestions such as rice intolerand and too much
fiber in the granola.

I did try the granola again without the millet.  I did not get the 1/2
hour reaction time as I did before, but I had a 12 hour reaction time
and I'm pretty sure it wasn't caused by anything else.  That leads me to
wonder if I was dealing with both a millet intolerance and cross
contamination.  At this point I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
so I'm not going to experiment any more for a while.  The rest of my
family loves the granola, though, and I'm happy to give them a snack
that is almost completely gluten free.
