If you are gluten intolerant you should be aware that Rice Dream has a very
small amount of gluten in it. They use barley enzymes to break down the
rice starch to sugar. It cannot be fully washed out.

Marketing bullshit. Kamut has gluten. There is absolutely no question about
this. It's like asking the cigarette companies if cigarettes cause any
health problems.

Anyway, to get a second opinion on the allergy aspects I sent Seph's
article to the leading US expert on wheat proteins. He replied:

Sounds like 99 and 44/100 percent pure crap to me too. If the Eileen Yoder
mentioned has published her findings in a reputable journal (I am not aware
of any publication), I would be pleased to evaluate them.  Otherwise, I
suspect this is just a lot of pseudoscientific hype.
