It is absolutely true that inulin can come from wheat.  It can come from
both monocotyledons (grasses) and dicotyledons--botanical groups.
Therefore theoretically, wheat is a source of inulin.  However, when added
to foods, it is NOT typically from wheat, and is usually derived from
NON-gluten containing plants.  So it is a RARE possiblity that it would
contain gluten in the US.
