Hi Todd,

All I know is I have never been itchier than after I ate pemmican with
'grain finished' beef and suet. It is written that celiacs *may* react to
soy, corn and oats depending on the sensitivity of the celiac. I have
reacted severely to soy, corn and oats when eating them when I was a
vegetarian. The proteins are similar to the gluten protein.
All the best,
Susan
