I read Jessie's post with concern. Mustard is not a grain, and does not
contain gluten. Maybe her reaction is to vinegar in made mustard.

Furthermore, oats Do contain gluten, but in significantly lower amounts than
the other gluten-containing grains (wheat, rye, barley, spelt), and some
coeliacs do not react to oat gluten. Medically proven fact.

Someone else recently posted a request that we not post erroneous
information. I agree with that wholeheartedly. Just because one of us reacts
to something, and not to something else, does not mean that the item in
question is therefore safe, or gluten-free, or loaded with gluten.

As to mustard, I can say with equal determination that it IS gluten free
because I do not react to it, and I have quick and unpleasant reactions to
gluten in any form. However, I realise that this appears to contradict what
I just stated - so try for yourself!!!

This list is very useful and I suggest that all newly-diagnosed members
check the archives for helpful information. The listowners do a fine job.
