Wheat free = no wheat Gluten free = no wheat, no barley, no rye and no oats* Wheat free does not always equal Gluten Free *Commercial oats are highly cross contaminated with gluten. It's easy to get caught on that. Some products are labeled as WF - they might be GF, but you have to read the label and check to make sure there's no barley, rye or oats. _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa

Yes, they are very helpful! Consider joining one that you feel comfortable with. I posted a link for you to check out in your support group question post.
