              Is this done to sweeten it or to make it more digestible?

You're probably right, it doesn't even say the word Gluten on the very slick-
looking pamphlet. Doesn't make sense though cuz the allergic would know
if they were allergic, but then, the tobacco-peaple did put filters on
cigarettes,
eventually. Didn't stop me from choking on them the first time I tried one. :)

I actually only suspect I'm gluten-intolerant. Is there a FAQ for this?
