Teff has gluten in it, it turns out; although some celiac persons
consume it, if the issue is allergies rather than celiac then you do
not want it.

The package says gluten free. Let me look it up.

This is what she eats although I don't buy them here.

Everything I have seen indicates it is in fact GF. Do you have a cite that
says otherwise?

Yes, the Wikipedia article on Teff, which itself has a cite.

Actually it says the opposite.

The link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teff

The quote:

" The grain can be used by celiacs (the gluten in teff does not contain the
a-gliadin-fraction that causes celiac disease) and has a high concentration
of different nutrients, a very high calcium content, and significant levels
of the minerals phosphorus, magnesium, aluminum, iron, copper, zinc, boron,
barium, and thiamin.[6] "

That's not the opposite. It says it has gluten but not the one that bothers
celiacs. Do you think all gluten intolerant people are celiacs? They
aren't.

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.

Right. Please go back to the part of my post you did not quote; I said
that Teff has gluten but that celiacs eat it, but if you have
a gluten allergy it will be a problem.

Ranee did not state whether the elimination diet is intended to
screen for celiac as opposed to allergy.

I just read that over again. I do not see that part. And that just makes
no sense. If you have a gluten allergy you must avoid the same type of
gluten that celiacs do. Not *all* gluten. Sheesh.

Please quote that part for me so I can see it. Because I don't.

There are different types of gluten. Read about it he

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten

A person with a gluten issue (whatever that may be) needs only to avoid the
true gluten.
