Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Dear Rebecca, You can not wash the gluten out of the grain or the flour. Gluten in the protien found in all grains. The grains Wheat, Rye, and Barley are at one end of the family.. Oats are in the middle.. then Corn, Rice, Buckwheat, ECt are at the other. Not everyone who is allergic to Wheat may be allergic to Rye and Barley. Some have a condition call Celiac Sprue which causes them to react to the gluten in Wheat, Rye, Barley and sometimes Oats. Before going on a gluten free diet I would consult your Doctor on doing at least the blood work for Celiac Sprue. You will want that in your medical chart if it is what you have. If you go gluten free it is harder to test for this. There are a ton of websites that are for Gluten-free diets. But you will have to avoid all Wheat if you are intolerant to it. I hope this helps, Amy Rebecca Haddock wrote: >HI! Everyone, > >Exactly what IS gluten? I have been told by a nurse that it is the gluten in grains that I just might be allergic to. So how do I go about getting rid of it. I have heard of washing flour but that boggles my mind. Won't the flour all wash away and all is left is water? >Sincerely, >Rebecca J.
