I didn't say that at all! My daughter used to have a gluten allergy. Has
since outgrown that but still has a wheat allergy.

Plenty of foods contain gluten but it is not the sort of gluten one must
avoid with a gluten issue. Corn for instance. The link says it is *not*
that kind of gluten. So it is gluten free. The person who said it wasn't
is wrong.
