Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Question o' the Day: Why would I be concerned about " gluten? " From what I gather on the " Vegetarian Resource Group " , " Gluten is a mixture of proteins from wheat flour. It is a vegan product. You will often see it mentioned as wheat gluten or seitan. " So, why are so many products proud to be " gluten free?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi Kevin You would need to worry about gluten only if you suffer for coeliacs disease, which is where the intestines are badly affected, and I think the lungs also suffer. If you don't suffer from this disease you don't have to worry about gluten. Jo , " Kevin L. McDonald " <kevin@b...> wrote: > Question o' the Day: Why would I be concerned about " gluten?
