<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Mike; Well stated! I too know that these grains in themselves are gluten free. Anything can be cross contaminated in the field, mill or processing plant, even rice, corn and the other basic grains we depend upon. Why these nutritious grains are so maligned is a mystery to me. Grain chemists keep telling us over and over that these grains are gluten free, but we continue with our discussion. I also agree that it is good to use the list serve as a vehicle to learn from others experience, but when it comes to determining the gluten free status of products based on opinions, we will continue to be confused and paranoid about our diet. Reliable information is never based on consensus or antidotal information, but rather from those sources who are knowledgeable scientifically. It is very easy to call the manufacturer and ascertain whether a product is gluten free, much easier than taking a pole. If a manufacturer will not give the information, than don't use the product. It's really pretty simple. Bravo to you Mike for your very on target statement! Marge in Louisville
