<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> ok, ok, I gotcha semolina is wheat, poison, etc. thank you for the overwhelming number of responses. This was my first thought, but an owner of a restaurant told me and tried very hard to convince me that it was finely ground corn flour and that I should not have any reaction to it. This was after I had a polenta dish at a restaurant, specifically asking to make sure there was no wheat in it and then later feeling a little bit bloated. I guess in certain places I will have to make sure there is no wheat, rye, barley, oats, & semolina!!! Thanks all, Dori in NJ
