<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello everyone, Since responding to a post about Wendy's chili possibly containing gluten even though it has been said to be GF (I too had similar bad reaction),I have come across info. directly from Wendy's web-site. Their address is: http://www.wendys.com/gluten.htm Concerning their chili: They do say it is GF. The "natural flavoring" consists of white pepper (which I understand is questionable), clove, allspice and cinnamon. "Modified food starch" source is from corn as are "maltodextrin, and caramel color". This sounds good, but I still got sick! Maybe my reaction was to another unknown culprit but I don't think I'll chance it again. I'm a newly diagnosed celiac and I find this list to be a wealth of information. Thank you everyone, especially the list owners for all your help and support. I especially want to say thanks to Max Desorgher for his elloquently stated post of 8/17/96. I totally agree, acute sensitivity should not be minimalized. He also pointed out what a silent destroyer gluten can be even in persons with less sensitivity. It took me over 20 years to find the cause of my illness. This disease has taken a great toll on my health and well being, as a result I intend to be diligent about my diet! Looking forward to good health returning and wish the same to you all! :-) Jacqueline
