Gluten = wheat, oat, barley or rye. So wheat free doesn't necessarily mean gluten free...unfortunately. Wish it was that easy. Yea Sophie, a lot of people learn that the hard way.

And Sophie, I can definitely sympathise with your unsuccessful attempts to buy gluten free foods. I have experienced the same issues in the past and have come to the conclusion that food labelling needs to be changed to ensure adequate clarity. Often, ingredients information is in small print and difficult to find, which makes shopping something of a challenge. Saying this, I am finding an increasingly better choice of gluten free foods in the supermarket which is surely a step in the right direction!

I learned that 'wheat free' does not mean gluten free :P (duh! lol). I bought a cereal that said wheat free but apparently it had gluten...I was sick all week after eating it :(. I've definitely learned my lesson! I have a gluten intolerance but not celiac disease but I just realized this past week that I need to be more careful with the gluten.
