Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 That is crazy! Sorry you got sick. Hope your feeling better. I would keep contacting the company until you get to talk to a real person and address this issue! I have found that many people have no real clue when it comes to gluten and wheat. I once had inquired about some chocolate that was being sampled out and the girl who worked for the company asked me is it just gluten you can't have or are you allergic to wheat too because it's gluten free but there may be some whole wheat particles from the equipment. I wanted to slap her! I was polite and explained the whole thing to her. Some how these people have been led to believe that whole wheat is gluten free! I know some companies have been experimenting with barley malt to remove the gluten, and the test show no gluten but people are still reacting to it because it's broken down too small for the testing equipment to pick up. I'm just wondering if they are trying to do the same thing with wheat now. I really wish they would stop messing with foods because it just makes it worse and more confusing for everybody! I hope you get some real answers and are able to educate this company so they can stop misleading and poisoning people! Hope you feel better. I take activated charcoal when I realize I've been glutened and it helps reduce the symptoms as it draws toxins out of the body. Good luck!
