<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All, I was surprised by all the response to my question about cinnamon..and my sore throat! I had 7 responses that thought the cinnamon was contaminated by gluten. Does that mean they thought my sore throat was gluten related? There were 5 people that said that cinnamon was a problem for them in some way. One person had sores in their throat. One person was sensitive to mint, chocolate or citrus..throat-wise. Two people mentioned a combination of gluten and cinnamon caused a sore, rough and itchy throat. Three thought the cinnamon was a problem for me One thought it might be a wheat allergy One thought it was a virus or strep Two people mentioned the diet for certain blood types So....I guess it wasn't for sure what exactly gluten or cinnamon causes!!! I have looked for a site that tells exactly what an allergy to cinnamon would do...with no luck. I hadn't had any cinnamon for 4 years...and think it will be some time before I try it again!!! Also I think the gluten does affect my throat ..with little sores..but mustof gotten something with out knowing... Thank you everyone for the respones! Susan
