The subject matter that came up at our meeting today is several
physicians have been telling their patients that SPELT bread is OK for
the Celiac diet.<wrong>

Someone had a copy of the "Against the Grain" book on hand & we reviewed
the passage that says:

"Spelt is a form of wheat called Triticum spelta, with lax spikes &
spikelets containing two light red kernals. Wheat by any other name is
just as dangerous"

I recommended that they contact the physician & let them know this is
NOT a GF grain, and that they are misinforming their patients.

Why is the medical community in the dark about acceptable grains?
Is there not an up-to-date list of GF grains available to the medical
community?
Maybe more importantly..a list of the sub-ingredients that contain
gluten?

How many people have had physicians & dieticians say-- "you know more
about the specifics of the diet than I do" ?
