Thanks for the insight Marnie. I've been allergic to wheat for over 25 years so I know the ropes and avoid wheat. (I can do a little wheat about once a week with no ill affects.) Gluten is another story since it is in over 50% of all the foodstuffs out there and has MUCH more long term serious affects than a food allergy or sensitivity. Celiac desease is serious! Every look at the list of foods to avoid? It's scary. Avoiding just wheat is a peice of cake compared to all the many foods with gluten. Nonetheless, one never knows unless one is tested with the most reliable test for celiac, which, I understand it the endoscope. Ok, since you all say it is not biggy, I'll GO for it!!! Thanks heaps, and happy holidays....Kandee
