<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks everyone for letting me know that spelt is most definitely a no-no. I must have seen it in the faq but forgotten. Special thanks to Don Wiss, Michael Jones and Donald Kasarda for your detailed, scientific responses. Now Ihave another question: My literature (provided to me without citation by the campus dietition) says that quinoa and teff are proscribed by celiacs. But in Donald D. Kasarda's response to my spelt inquiry, they are acceptable. I also remember a list-member recommending it recently. Thile the list has already gained greater credibility in my eyes than the medical practitioners I've seen so far (including md's), I'd still like to get this cleared up.... Thanks again, Shashi [log in to unmask] p.s. "recommending it..." 'it' meaning teff.
